Tug of War

This is Buster and Dakota, my grandkid's dogs. Have fun with them. I used the Postworkshop program for the first time on this pic.

Re: Tug of War

Yup; broke down Dak and got the Pro. Starting to like certain aspects of this cool program, but have a lot to learn for sure. Enjoyed the play.

I like this look and the way you took out that fence. What process did you use for this, Grant?

Yup, me too. It is going to be a fun learning experience I am sure. Guess we are the first ones on our block, lol. I like the way you can blend layers in PostWorkShop. I wish you could do that in DAP.

Re: Tug of War

I actually like the Node editor interface (much more control). Node editing is lossless (hate that word as many here know; I prefer self documenting) too. Node interfacing is the future of editing. I've actually used this program for strait photo edit enhancements too (just as a test; have to get use to doing it this way). Not the first time I've used nodes for programming. In a past life, I did some Labview that worked exactly the same way. I believe GIMP (at least I hope it will) will go this route; lots of talk at GIMPUser. PS needs to hose layers and go the Node route too. Extremely intuitive imo, much so then using layers and adjustment layers.

Re: Tug of War

Thanks Gene and Dak.I used Lucis and Buzz, smudged the dogs a bit and painted out the background with a soft white brush.

Re: Tug of War

I love dogs. Always was a cat person but for the first time in my life I have a dog (5years) and my heart is now with them. What a great picture Dak, they look like good buddies for the G'kids.

I chose to do less with the processing and more with the layout.

You all know so much about the newest graphic programs...and by looking at your results of Postworkshop looks like I know what I'm asking Santa for Christmas.
