Gavin - Gettin' Some Air!

i've been wanting to see how far i could stretch my patience with my restrictions and limitations that come from the antiquated programs i'm using for my digital scrapbooking. Believe me - this was a true stretch!






This is a layout i did for my nephew, Gavin. He just turned 10 on Feb. 20th.

The silhouette was a cut-out taken from another photo of Gavin getting some air! LOL This took a lot of work for me. i had to do the cut-out in my ArcSoft Studio 5 program. i, then, had to carry that over to my PaintShop Pro 6.0 program. i set it into a new raster layer inside a clean palette - hit it with the magic wand - inverted the selection. Went to Image - then hit the edge filter and chose Find All and selected my darkening shade of choice.

Once i got the graphic set into my Pixel Magic scrapbook program - i set the size - then set the transparency to 54 percent.

For the record - i have already mailed my letter to the Easter Bunny. Maybe - just maybe - the Easter Bunny will leave me that awesome new graphics program i want for Easter - in my Easter basket! ROTFL!
