| Lisa Nice! Complete with lens flare. Sometimes when you use lens flare it sometimes ends up just a little away from exactly where you want it. Or it does for me! You probably know already but.....  If you make a new layer above your picture, fill it with 50% grey, blending mode to overlay, then apply your lens flare, you can then move it to exactly where you want it. It enables you to move it around whereas you cannot using the conventional way. HTH Frank |

| Well, I do know about doing it on a new layer... but you did teach me something - I would never have thought of filling it with 50% grey - great tip. Many thanks. Lisa |

| Ok I think I'm ready. Of course just after I finished this the first time the machine crashed!! And naturally I did not have the work saved. Serves me right. Was adding the background ok? I didn't realize until right now...I have to learn to retain better Obviously I cut and resized, then lowered the opacity on the rose and erased a bit to let the moon through. Added a corona effect using Eye Candy as well as a short perspective shadow to the horse and bug-gy! Finally I added the Soft Painter action taken from the filters and actions thread. It sort of reminds me of Dr. Doolittle. I enjoyed this and look forward to doing more. Thanks Lisa, great idea. Debbie |

| Thanks CJ That's what put me in mind of Dr. Doolittle. I remember watching when I was small and Rex Harrison riding off on the monach butterfly just stuck in my mind. I haven't thought of that in years. Debbie |

| Phyliss Its an oqiginal, great idea, but you had me going, the way you wrote it I thought you might have hidden the missing link in the hat I could not find her so I called the local bobbies to hunt for her. Super job. Phil |

 Wonderful, Frank!! Great job of "cubing" the ladies, rose, horse, and butterfly...AND the park bench!, AND the Lotus! -- that would have been an excellent submission just by itself, but the addition of the tiger is inspired! (He'd been lonely since his companion had been "sent to the fish pond" in the tiger mini-challenge.) I just love to visit here to see what you folks "come up with next"! Okay, Frank -- what's on the other sides of the cube? |

| File size. Not really sure what you mean! The finished file size is 98kb. I reduce them all as I go along, so it's not very big at all.Gary, I only ever use Photoshop 6, I can't afford all these new fancy filters, actions and the like!  Besides there is not much that PS6 can't do in my humble opinion. I'm still very much a learner at this, have been using PS 6 for about 9 months now and have hardly scratched the surface. But I'm enjoying learning! You can "draw" out a cube using guides and grid but it's quite time consuming. I use PS6 now and of course , once you have one cube, you can keep on using it. If you use PS6/7, I'll tell you how I do it, if you are interested, let me know. You can also get good effects with circles and cylinders.Regards Frank |

| Yes Frank I'd like some more details on the cubes, and cylinders if and when you have time. I've been using PS7 for a few months and painter most of the time but don't have many other filters yet. -Gary |
