Wordful Wednesday-Photoshop

*Wordful Wednesday is for those of us that like to showcase a photo(s) but that just can’t seem keep our mouths shut about it(them). If you’d like to play along, post a photo on your blog, and let the words roll. Feel free to “capture” my 7 Clown Circus button on the left to link back to me, and be sure to add yourself to Mr. Linky. Thanks for playing along!


I scored Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 for Christmas but am just getting around to playing around with it. I’m already part-way in love. Just wait until I can navigate around the software quickly. I’m pretty sure it’s going to be a full-blown-love-affair.
This photo was manipulated using the Cutout effects element. So cool.

  10. I’m right there with ya….I love Photoshop! I could sit for hours, no days, and play with pictures and photoshop.

    I love beach pictures too, but this week I didn’t use photoshop on my entry….just plain beach.

  11. Sorry my first URL entry didn’t go through correctly, so I entered it again. Hence my name is on Mr. Linky twice. OOPS

    i was thinking about this the other day…do you remember, did i coin wordful wednesday in a comment to you? or did i just think it + never say it. lol.

  13. Really neat effect! I may have to finally invest in something like that.

  14. i should have added that i sincerely cannot remember… πŸ™‚

  65. Wow! This is too cool! I have an old version of Photoshop but find it so hard to use. Maybe Elements is a little bit more user-friendly. This is such a cool way to enhance your photos! I love it!

  66. Steph at Problem Solvin' Mom says

    What a great effect! I am in the market for a good photo editing software, but I’m so indecisive!

  67. Heather @ Not a DIY Life says

    Happy WW!

  68. what the heck??? that is SO cool! will it print out like that? it looks like actual art (and it helps that your subject is absolutely adorable)!!

  69. I love that. It would look awesome blown up real big for a wall in your house. I’m still intimidated by Photoshop. I need a Photoshop for Dummies book. πŸ™‚

  70. I use Photoshop CS2 at work and I love it. It can do so many amazing things!!!

  71. That is so cool! I have no skills when it comes to photos.

  72. Lee of MWOB says

    Looks awesome and I’m learning I need to be better prepared for your wordful wednesdays – I’m always so late in the game!! Well, I AM on the west coast after all.

    If you have a moment, stop by my photographic experiment today….

    πŸ™‚

  73. I love what you have done with that picture! Awesome effect:-)

  74. Love the photo effect! I wish I had Photoshop!

  75. What a cutie pie! Nice effects, too. I’m figuring out how to use Elements, too, and it’s pretty darn cool!

  76. The Blonde Duck says

    That’s so cool!

  77. That’s precisely why I’ve avoided Photoshop to this point, another addiction is just what I don’t need. But it looks like so much fun! Love the photo.

  78. oh yes, i have a full blown love for photoshop elements! yeah. enjoy. looks like you are getting along with it really well already!

  79. My kids want photoshop but I may never get to use the computer again if we got it!

  80. Veggie Mom says

    I need to get on the ball earlier in the day, don’t I? Lots o’ Pop’rs Action is keeping me busy!

  81. Munchkins and Music says

  82. Ooooh I love it! I want photoshop.

  83. Mrs. Fish: aka Two Fish says

    I so need to get around to playing with PhotoShop…so many cool things to do. Love the photo, almost looks like an oil on canvas.

  84. I have PE6 myself and have had NO time to learn it yet. It is VERY cool….however it makes me SO irritated that nothing (software-wise) comes with an instruction manual anymore! Grrr.

  85. Enjoy, can’t wait to see what you create.

  86. Thanks for Wordful Wednesday! This is the first time I’ve participated, and while I didn’t do anything Photoshopped or fancy, I said what I wanted to say about my pic. Awesome idea!

  87. that is really cool. I would love to have that soft ware some day.

  88. Those effects are so much fun! Enjoy…don’t forget about your blog…

  89. ChefDruck says

    Really amazing what you can do with photoshop. Just wish I could figure out those layers! Really neat picture.

  90. Okay, so I’m totally jealous! I only wish I had photoshop. Or maybe it’s a good thing I don’t. I probably would get addicted and not get anything else done. Yup.

    Glad to see you’re experimenting. Very nice!!

  91. I love the effect you used! cool pic!

  92. DysFUNctional Mom says

    I love it! I got creative with effects this week too, but I’m just a poor,lowly photobucket user.

  93. Would love to win, Your blog is great by the way!

  98. Stephanie says

    I’ve always thought I’d like to have photoshop, but don’t know if I’d ever find time to figure it out! Can’t wait to see what all you come up with πŸ™‚

  99. Are You Serious! says

    β™₯ I love the way that looks! Photoshop is my all time favorite program! πŸ™‚

  100. Churchill says

    That pictures looks so NEAT

  101. I have been so distracted lately that I put up my link without leaving a comment (how rude of me).

    I love photo editing. I don’t think I have posted a single shot without doing something to it.

    I have a friend who has an unused copy of the real photoshop that she doesn’t need and is going to give to me. I can’t wait.
