So I am still learning, and it is a rocky road for me:dunno , but I took pictures of my kiddos for Father's Day that I put in a 4 picture collage frame spelling out "PAPA". What do you think? C&C welcomed.

The last one I am not happy with at all because I could not get proper lighting to get rid of the background folds. If anyone cares to help out and edit it for me please feel free:thumb

    Hey Flutist!

    I think it's a really great idea!! Have you thought of giving all four photos the same conversion treatment? Either all colour, or all black in white or sepia... I'm partial to the B&W myself, but i'm loving the red in the last shot! Really cool idea!! Run with it!!

    If they will be framed together, I would definately go with one process or the other...not both.

    Just my$.02....don't spend it all at once!!!:D

    I'm no PS expert but you could try selecting by color then make
    it the same as the lighter color? Just a thought.

    BTW, I liked the fourth. To me, it seems natural and something dad could
    look at and have a chuckle or two. Mom might save it for a wedding gift lol3.gif

    Thanks Josh!! I'll try getting the folds out. If I was smart I would have taken the time to re-iron the backdrop rolleyes1.gif
