Photoshop!

Well, tons has happened, yet again, and the blog has gotten somewhat neglected as of late. Last Saturday, I graduated from A&M with my Master's in Curriculum and Instruction. I am so relieved to be done, but an itsy bitsy small part of me actually kind of wants to get my doctorate. Now, not enough to go back to school anytime soon, but seeing all of those doctorate students getting hooded kind of got me thinking. To be perfectly honest, I will probably never get my doctorate, but for one short instant I thought about it. :)

For a graduation present, my parents got me Adobe Creative Suites 4 (and I should be getting a free upgrade to CS5 since it was released right after they bought CS4). I haven't had much time to play with it, seeing as our last week of preschool was this week (a whole other post about the end of preschool), but this evening I've been playing around with the help of free tutorials. So, without further ado, I bring you the only the picture I've touched up and watermarked (just for fun). Hopefully I'll learn more and more and will soon be a "pro" at this.

After

Did you know that Adobe has it's own format to save pictures in? It took me FOREVER to try and figure out how to post the after picture... It is really easy, though... Just change the way you save it to a jpeg file and it's done. Have a wonderful weekend! I'm off to hit the hay... it's been an emotional day.

  1. Congrats on graduating with your masters!! :) I use Photoshop Elements 8.0 for all my digital scrapbooking and designing...it's a dumbed down version of CS4. But I LOVE it! If you ever wanna use it to digital scrapbook send me an email and I'll hook you up with some supplies I've designed. :)
