Can a girl ever have too many background papers?

Too many ribbons? Too many photo masks?

 

You said, “Gasp! Never!”

Right?

 

I feel the same about tutorials. I hope to never stop learning and growing from the experience of others. I will never have too many tutorials. Never, never, never.

 

On the blog this week you’ll find an oldie-but-goodie tutorial. Think of it as a visit from an old friend reminding you of the super-cool things you can do with Photoshop or Photoshop Elements.

 

The content of an oldie-but-goodie tutorial remains the same, but it’s been updated to current software standards and is now searchable on the blog. It’s a win-win.

 

Since we’ve been focusing on filters in July, I’ve brought out a filter-themed tutorial from the archives that I know you’ll enjoy. You’ll find the details below.

 

Have a great week, friends.
