Digital Painting~ Image Design~Photo Editing Software 2nd Discussion Teeth Whitening


I have opened the photo editing software and this is the picture I chose. We drink coffee, tea, some smoke or does something else that can over time stain the teeth. I want to talk about whitening teeth. Their are two methods I use. The first thing I do is create another layer. Layers should open when you open the progran but if not click windows in the program, click dockable dialog, click layers




layers tool














I created another layer










The next tool to click is the paint brush tool.




click the color box on the toolbox to choose the your color. I chose a white color through blue. In the toolbox window click paintbrush, paintbrush size and slide to opacity desired . You can experiment with opacity because you can undo as much as you want. Click view to enlarge window focus on teeth. Click the transparent layer and color the teeth

If you like the look then continue until done

Even though i did this quickly, my finish looks good using photo editing software

You also can use the path tool to map out the shape of the teeth ~ hit the enter button ~ click the paintcan tool ~ slide to desired opacity and just color

Scrapbooking and Image design/ Photo Editing Software









Digital photography is quickly becoming widespread in our society and as a result of that photo editing software is also drawing a lot of attention. A




photo editing software
allows you to improve your digital images. For example, you can crop them, remove red-eye, change colors or contrast, and even add and delete elements. You can crop the photograph to emphasize the key part. Reduce the size of the photograph to make it smaller for posting on the Web or e-mailing. Use filters to sharpen it or even make it look like a watercolor or oil painting. Stitch together multiple frames to create 360 degree panoramas. Merge two images to create a 3D stereo effect, or an animated image for display on the Web. Change brightness and contrast to improve the image. You can also cut and paste parts of one image into another to create a photo montage, or convert the photograph to another format (like from JPEG to GIF). Installing is like having a darkroom with the lights on and without the chemicals.




Photo editing software
is great for scrapbooking. I use it for that and other artistic applications. Here are some examples of what you can do with

photo editing software .


I used the path tool to take kitty from her backyard background and to create the following looks. The Paths tool allows to create complex selections called Bézier Curves, a bit like Lasso but with all the adaptability of vectorial curves. You can edit your curve, you can paint with your curve, or even save, import, and export the curve.


Putting kitty in different backgrounds


























I cropped the picture to get a focal point of kitty's head.
I used the path tool to change one of her eye's color just to give you an idea of what a photo editing software can do.



more change in kitty background again


here is another change I like to do in my pictures. I put a little color in that one eye






Photo editing software is a great tool to add different elements to a photo. I love how you can manipulate images to what ever you imagine. Check out my next discussion. Please if you have any thoughts to add leave me a comment.

Scrapbooking

I scrap to save the memories for myself and future generations.. I scrapbook because I want my kids to know our life good or not so good times . I want them to be able to look through the pages of our albums and see glimpses of their childhood. I want my children to know about and remember the family ,any who are gone now. With my baby girl now off to college I find myself deep in memory and thoughts about her getting to this point people start scrap-booking a lot because of an event or life change. For some, a child is born such as your own baby, a niece, a nephew, friends child maybe even God child. Some want to memorialize a wedding. Some like to scrapbook vacations where they took a lot of photos. People scrapbook for many reasons. I am starting to do more digital scrap-booking. Image/photo editing software I used.

Off To College

My baby girl is off to college. I tried to get her to go closer to home but she chose otherwise. I decided to let her go to her choice. I think she will learn a lot of life lessons and I hope she loves her learning experience. Maybe because she is my baby I am hanging on just a little. We are still buying things for her dorm room.

Abusive Police Practices A MOM AFRAID

I am ranting today. I feel young people in DC needs much prayer. They have to deal with violent kids and maybe abusive police. I have been told that the police haras boys. They have to have id on their person all the time. You go out jogging and forget your id I think the DC Police cook you. I hate the idea of apartheid type policing. Young men in the area of DC feel that many on this police force are bullies. Is there some type of a way police can do their jobs without pre-nazi like practices. They are suppose to practice a role of preventive deterrent to crime and disorder. They are not to humiliate young men who are not committing crime, only jogging and exercising in the morning. Are young men forbidden to walk on the sidewalks of DC. Is it the darker you are more like they stop you, make you late for work , school or just do they like striking fear into the hearts of young people. It is very frustrating. Why would they stop someone 5"2 and they are looking for someone 6"2. Somebody please tell me. I feel that young men endure the injustices of discrimination, entrapment and verbal abuse at the hands of those responsible for protecting them -- the police. I feel that there is a group within the police department here wanting to cause suffering and fear on young people. I believe that there are good cops out there. I believe some of them are in fear of rocking the boat. Please offices you have to rock the boat sometimes for the good. If you have people in the force who uses pre-nazi like practices you can do something about it. Check out AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL report about police abuse in our country. I am in fear for the young men in my neighborhood who go to school, work and church. I have to put it in God's hands I know that to be true.

I am praying to my Heavenly Father on behave of bothe sides. I feel that I understand that being a police officer is very dangerous and it changes people to be in that kind of danger. God touch the hearts and minds of the police and the young men in this city. Have mercy Heavenly Father on them. Awaken your spirit in them. Give them the right mind. Guide them into your your love and righteusness. Bless them with your protection and salvation in the name of Christ Jesus. Thank You Heavenly Father. Amen!

Prom dress rush

I find myself drafted to make my daughter's prom dress. She want a spring green cocktail style dress with hand rolled roses and tulips. She want hand embroidery stitches all over the skirt. Well I only have one problem, she is doing so much that she hasn't stood still one moment for a fitting. She works, she is on the softball team, she is on the student government committee, and she is rehearsing to sing at graduation as a soloist which she was drafted for. I have another daughter getting ready to graduate who wants a party on a ship which is being planned by you know who.
Basically I have five children in different stages of mom I need you to do such and such. My solution pick a number and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. LOL

Are You Ready to Take Your Freelancing Business to the Next Level?

The small business sector is on fire. There are thousands of new businesses springing up every day and the ease and affordability of Internet access has made much of the growth in entrepreneurship today possible. This is wonderful news for freelancers and here’s why.

As business continues to heat up for online companies, managers are feeling the pressure to have quick access to reliable specialists who can
