Baxter says hi.
Maybe you didn't hear him. He'll come a little closer.
Doggie smooch!So here's how I messed with my photo yesterday. I am so NOT a Photoshop guru. It was really very simple. First I turned the photo black and white. I didn't do my own conversion or anything; I just used PS Elements' tool. Then I added this cool texture:
It's "Ominous Clouds" from Ghostbones. I set this layer on multiply at 100% opacity.
Then I flipped the texture photo (to get the dark part in the lower right) and layered it on my photo again. I set that layer on soft light at 51% opacity.
I added the "moon" by setting my eraser at 8%, setting the brush to the size I wanted it, and just clicking in the same spot a few times until it was the brightness I wanted.
(I discovered that part by accident when I tried to erase some of the texture. Cool, huh? Not as good an accident as discovering penicillin, but whatever.)
That's it.

Oh my word! I just LOVE the first shot. She look so inquisitive...I can almost hear what she is saying to you in her head. :P LOL Glad you are on the mend. BOTH of my ladies have colds right now, and I am trying to not catch one myself.
That is the closest I have let a dog come near me in a very long time.

OMG, Baxter needs his own fan club! Your 2nd photo may be my all-time favorite photo of yours!
