Going Digital

Last year I used my birthday money to buy Photoshop Elements 7.0, but up to now I've only used it mainly in 'guided' mode for some basic photo editing. Over the last week, I've been trying to learn a bit more about how to use all the features.

Ali Edwards at aliedwards.com has some excellent step-by-step tutorials. I tried out one of her 'brushes' (the 'capturing' image) in the photo above, which she made available for free on her web site. I also watched her tutorial on 'layered templates' and I think I may soon enter into the digitial scrabooking space. Turns out there are some great freebie templates out there that make creating layouts a breeze. Check back tomorrow for my first digital scrabook page :)
