As you may have noticed, I’m a bit “into” nature photo blends this past year. Thought you’d like to see a before and after of one of a recent series of orchids (click on image for enlarged view). The other finished pieces and photo specs can be seen on my photo blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

fyi…I’ve updated the tutorial included with set 1 to include a screen shot of all the layers\/settings for this piece. For those of you who already have the set, check out the revised tutorial link (included in your instructions file).<\/p>\n

Readers have asked what I like to do with the finished pieces. Printing at 8×10, matting, and framing for gifts or wall art is a quick project. Adhering to distressed painted wrapped canvas is another wall piece idea (cropped to square format below).<\/p>\n

They also make beautiful greeting cards. Designing a set of 4 or 6 and pairing with envelopes makes a thoughtful token for a friend.<\/p>\n

fyi…I’ve created a Before\/After blog category at right and will periodically be adding to it.<\/p>\n

Happy creating!<\/p>\n
