Chatique #2, Blending Tchniques
This week we will look at blending techniques that can be used creating a Montage. I have some examples here.

Other blending methods include:
PhotoShop’s MAGIC WAND
ERASING
MASKS and quick-mask
PAINTING WITH BRUSHES
Today’s technique is MONTAGE-using blending to create a montage.
I used to prefer erasing as an extraction technique. A very helpful technique to use when erasing is to put a red stroke around the layer when you think you are finished to catch any stray pixels. Then take the stroke away.
Paths are also a good way to extract. They require a lot of practice.
Masks stay above the photos, you can move the photos around under the mask. When doing a mask, black erases and white restores. This is quite handy.
If you put paint on a lower layer, you may want to lower the opacity of some of the erased photos.
You can change what the magic wand selects by changing the tolerance.
A WACOM tablet is also a good tool to use for erasing.

Forty Years of Scrapping
Long before it was popular, I was trying to decorate arrangements of photos and sentimental items. Here I want to share some of my personal history and more important, some ideas I have gleaned from more than 40 years of scrapping.
