Playing with Photoshop

[baileymoyes]

It's raining in Central Florida. Can't get motivated, so I'm playing with Photoshop. I don't really know how to do anything, but I'm having fun changing contrast and color values and learning what the filters do. I hope to move on to layers and so forth, but I'm trying not to get too involved. Isn't another "time sink" just what we all need

I could never be angry with anyone for asking about a story. I admit, I've not been inspired at all to write RPS in a very long time. I've had another novel accepted and finishing it takes most of my time. As my goal is to be a successful author, that's where I'm investing my energy right now. I really hope I'll be able to take a couple of weeks sometime and finish Trigger, et al, but not in the foreseeable future, I'm afraid. Maybe when my royalties are high enough to let me quit my "day job". I try never to give up on anything though. Thanks for being so patient and for still being interested.

As for the altered photos, it's funny that the things that affected you as being off were exactly the effects I was going for. At least in the one of the God Mercury. I wanted his limbs to disappear into the cloudiness and for his face to be iconic rather than realistic. You're right; this kind of thing is very subjective.

The baby-faced "girl" is a Japanese musician, a man in his mid-thirties, but he's often mistaken for female in photos. ;)
