The secrets on how to make artwork of the Sam/Jack ship family thread

[Nolamom]

curves is CTRL + M

CTRL + L is levels

no, CS2 does not have selective coloring per se, however, you CAN accomplish just about the same thing - tutorial

I don't think anyone has mentioned this, but Adobe is GIVING away FREE Photoshop CS2. if you've ever wanted PS, now is your chance. It is a purely legitimate, legal copy. No, it's not the latest version and it doesn't do the new stuff like content aware filters, but it still is one of the top photoediting programs around. It is downloadable from Adobe here but I believe it is only for a limited time. Don't miss out!!!! I used this version for years - it's terrific

So...if I have Windows, I just click on "CS2_install_Win.pdf"???

Sara, it was an error - they didn't mean to be giving it away, and they've closed the servers for downloading it now. If you didn't get it yesterday, I don't think you can anymore. But you can try. Yes, that's the file to select.

Valenship Challenge

Week 1

Make a piece of Sam/Jack art inspired by these Lyrics:

I've never known completeness
like being here
wrapped in the warmth of you
loving every breath of you;
still my heart this moment
or it might burst.

Here is true peace
here my heart knows calm
safe in your soul;
'til the end of time,
'til the earth stops turning,
gonna love you 'til the seas run dry.

I've found the one I've waited for.

"Gorecki" by Lamb

Theme: Sam/Jack
Pic: Any
Size: Any
Text: See above (all or part)

Please post your entries for this challenge on the thread by next Sunday, January 20. They will be used to create a drabble/ficlet challenge in the S/J Appreciation thread the following week. So the more arties we have the more inspiratition there will be to entice our fic writers to share their talents as well.

Lovely work!

A.Karswyll, I like all takes on art....and the poster/vacation idea's great too!

Here's mine, though I'm not really happy with it - it looks too syfy for a romantic quote like that. I was thinking soft colours. And then it came out like that!
