Experiments with Photoshop and Other Ventures

I recently started working with Photoshop. Adobe Soundbooth was intuitive for me, so I was able to manufacture a new ringtone for my phone in under ten minutes, but there is a reason a lot of people make a life out of the software. I've been poking around online looking at tutorials now for a while, but still, it's a challenge.

Using one tutorial (HDR Photo-Effect, http://www.nill.cz/index.php?set=tu1) I did manage to dress up one picture.


Also dove back into carving. Finished a tortoise I started and got the paint on it the other night. I'm so used to painting miniatures (~25 mm) that a large area of one color felt foreign to me. My favorite part is his face.







The General is turning out to be harder than I thought.
