So. Today’s was the last lesson in the Photoshop “Skinny-mini” course I was taking at the Kim Klassen Cafe. Wow. There was some cool stuff in there! I really enjoyed the course, learned some new tricks, and look forward to playing around with more of my own photos. I did, however, also discover that two weeks is about my maximum commitment these days – about day 7 (of 10) life started creeping in, and I was no longer diligent about getting the homework done. A 365 project just wouldn’t get done. Ah, well. What can you do when you have a sick toddler? Anyhow, I snuck in a little bit of playing this morning and thought I would leave it on this note. So, yeah. If you’re looking for a simple introduction to Photoshop, I highly recommend visiting Kim’s site and checking out her offerings. =)

Today’s lesson included selective blurring (in addition to textures, etc.), which transformed this…

Into this…

A little “heavy-handed”, I know, but I really liked how stylized it becomes. Have a great weekend, y’all!
