I've been having all kinds of fun creating my own kind of art using Photoshop. This image was created using Photoshop Elements.
In the original photo, DJ is sitting on a plastic bag (one of her less expensive toys), and in front of my guitar case.
Elements has an artistic effect called "swirl" which I applied to the plastic bag. I then used the magnetic lasso to select the bag, and applied a plug-in filter called "Electroplate". The tiny bit of white you see at DJ's paws is what's left of the plastic bag.
I then selected DJ and applied the angled brush stroke to her, then the watercolor filter.
Finally, I selected the area behind DJ, erased the guitar case, and created the blue background using the multiply and color burn functions on my brush.
After I re-sized the picture (432x324), the image was 411K. Using the "Save for Web" function brought it down to 28K. Not print quality, but web-worthy.
Critiques are welcome!
