I must admit that a huge roadblock to me selling my work has been the thought of photographing the stuff. I used to have my photographer husband do it, but then we split, so that's not an option anymore.<br /><br />Photoshop has always been somewhat of a mystery to me, but since you put the steps into plain English, I'm sure I could even do it. I have the patience of a hamster, but having someone explain it as well as you did sure helps. Would be great to see other tutorials on all of the ways you use Photoshop. If you do this, please count me in as a willing student!KittyKatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02026434323397509827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4810466599498707869.post-39645714455610313962011-04-18T00:57:46.189-04:002011-04-18T00:57:46.189-04:00I usually tweak the colors/brightness/contrast in ...I usually tweak the colors/brightness/contrast in my photos too, but I need to try out that background blur trick!<br />One of my little secrets is the Macro setting (the symbol that looks like a little flower) for taking super-close-up photos.<br /><br />I have a Canon Powershot SD600 Digital Elph. It's a good little camera. :)Kirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13895598794216299599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4810466599498707869.post-30895219889250476172011-04-18T00:21:15.270-04:002011-04-18T00:21:15.270-04:00I was told that there is no point in using Photosh...I was told that there is no point in using Photoshop unless you have a DSLR because the images will be too grainy.
