I've been looking for smaller photo programs that I can load at work without using up a terrible amount of computer space to play around with on "downtime"... and of course that would be the ONLY time I would do such a thing as "non-work" things... .  So I downloaded the trial version of Photoshop Elements 5.0 and fell in love with it.  So I actually ended up buying it, because it seems to be the perfect remedy for me here at work, rather than loading a huge-ass version of the newest CS (which I'm salivating over, need to get it for home, and it plays so nicely with my film editing now!! But $$$ )

In any case, you can see the results of me playing around with this new addition to my collection in my gallery.  I found a bunch of old pics that I loved, and decided to play around with them.  No ghosts! LOL - but I'm sure I could make some in my new program... I would never do that though - as you can tell, never got a ghost pic yet - you guys will be among the first to know if I ever do though! LOL! 

So thanks to those of you who have already stopped by to comment on my pics, I appreciate it!  It's a learning curve since I've never really played around much in photo editing.  Pretty much what I get comes straight out of the camera, but now I can really have fun making some eerie effects, I'm sure it'll get better as I practice and discover what is what in the program too.  And if you haven't stopped by yet, please feel free - and don't be shy to lend criticisms as well... I'm still learning it and can use any help or opinions on composition as well. 

I'll be vacationing this weekend at the Hannah House, so I will post many pics upon my return.  Hopefully something wonderful!  And hopefully this time I'll catch a ghost for you guys FINALLY! LOL.

Have a great week everybody!
