Hey, can anyone tell me how to put your artwork on one of those walls with the light shining down on them to help showcase your work and to show customers how wonderful it looks on a colored wall? Is there a software program or something? Thank-you! |

I use Photoshop Elizabeth. It takes a while to learn it, but it is sooooo worth it. |

Yes, I have Abobe Photoshop as well, but I can't seem to figure out the whole layering thing..... Can you lead me in the right direction so I can at least be playing in the right area? Thanks, Sharon! |

You have one picture open of the painting and one of the furniture with the wall you want it on. You "select all" of your painting, then go the the furniture picture and hit "paste", then you "free transform" till you get it the size you want and position it where you want. They you select "layer" and "drop shadow". I am really a VISUAL person and typing it out isnt my best way to teach. Hopefully this will give you enough. :) |

Thanks so much! I'll have to play, play, play until I figure it out--or until I give up:) You've given me a great head start. |

Wow Sharon, you are a wealth of information about painting and getting it to the consumer. I am so grateful for your generous spirit and sharing. It is easy to see why your paintings are beautiful, they reflect the person who is creating them! |

Elizabeth, I think what you mean is the 'gradient overlay' function in 'layers'. It depends on which version of photoshop you have, the general direction is you create a duplicate background layer, then go to the image menu - canvas size and enlarge the background. Then you can right click on the layer, choose 'blending options, and then click on 'gradient overlay'. from there you have to play with it, until you find the color, angle of light you want, etc.
There may be easier ways to do it, but I'm also self taught in photoshop, so I may take the long way to do things.... let me know if you find an easier one! ;-) |

WHere do you get photos of furniture that arn't copyright? Does it come in some program? I have collected some nice ones but am not sure if they are (C), and it so far seems like alot of work? Maybe I am doing it wrong? |
