I was kind of hesitant to try scanning images to make a picture. Once I understood how to use it, it was really fun. I wanted to try all these different dpi levels and scanned images. When it came to figuring out how to make a collage of images in Photoshop I was unsure of how to start. I thought about creating a wall of frames, but this abstract version is more appealing to me. It's different and you don't see something like that everyday. How I did it was by mistake. I tried to cut out the image using the wand tool and it wouldn't select all of it. Then I put a couple of them together, changing the sizes and arrangement of the frames and I was pleased with the layout.

Cow Girl Up Edit. Custom Images Tutorial # Flexible Brushed-on Effect. For this one I couldnt find the "thick, heavy brushes" So I used the one called Heavy Marker Small Tip with varying opacity.

I liked learning about adding different borders because this just makes your custom image that much more custom and unique. This is also good to know if I ever have to make a invitation or custom card. Borders also enhance more to a portrait than a image of a object.

  1. Hey Hope! Awesome scans. Very creative. I like how you combined the frames in an abstract way. They create some very visually interesting shapes. Maybe try a background layer instead of leaving it black. Also don't forget to separate your "Photography" and "Edits" into two different posts.
    Keep up the good work.
