Okay, Honest opinions LOL

I have Paint Shop Pro and have had it for six years, and still haven`t a single clue how to use it! All of the ones you made look great, but I loove the first one, and the valentine one too.

The valentine is the best one. Do you have layer modes in psp? They look much better than just lowering the opacity.
I don't know what other programs have because other than Microsoft PictureIt! I've always had Photoshop in one form or another.

Thanks for the opinions guys! =D

Ew, I hate the valentine one compared to my PSP ones lol. Photofiltre is okay, and I still USE it for certain things such as adding text to my sigs and graphic because it's just too hard on PSP for me.

Floppsyladysally89, you should look up some tutorials. Most are really easy to follow and PSP isn't really that complicated to learn. What version do you have?

Sukiwingy, What exactly does that feature do? I have no idea what you're talking about LOL.

Same here. I don't know anything about how to do it, but I love the first
one. It's beautiful.

I have PSP 9.1 or 9.01, I don`t remember exactly (it`s on my desktop and I use my laptop for internet). I had 9, but then they (Jasc) sent me an upgraded version awhile ago. I`ve had it for years and have managed to get some things done, but I never thought so much was possible on it! I`ll definitely look up some tutorials, it would be nice to be able to make such interesting things. I guess I never gave it a second thought!

Thanks, lizbud!

Hope you learn a little, just google them. But take it slow, that's what I'm doing. I'd love to see some of your practice graphics whenever you finish them

I love the first one it has a dreamy quality.

I really like the first two graphics you've done, they're amazing! What version of Paint Shop Pro Studio are you using? I wonder how much it costs. My computer didn't come with much when I bought it 3 years ago. I'm going to look into buying it!

I taught myself photoshop. It really only takes some time tinkering and a few free tutorials.

Blend modes are an alternative to lowering the opacity. A lot of times just lowering the opacity to make something blend in better looks unprofessional.

Here's an example of what I mean.
If you select a different mode, it blends differently, giving you more options. I took a picture of an African Wild Dog I took at the zoo and put it on a background I played with. The background itself is two different pictures blended together.



And a close up, see where it says linear light?


This is the result.


Here are some other options, and the results.
