I combined two tutorials, this one http://www.photoshopstar.com/photo-effects/summer-photo-manipulation/ and http://www.photoshopstar.com/photo-effects/dark-photo-manipulation/

In the first tutorial i did a basic half tone on top of my picture and a zoom blur, after that was done i felt like my picture still needed more. I found another tutorial but only did about half of it, i added some dark strokes to my picture. i also croped off a bit from the bottom and top.

I had lots of fun with this picture, it was easy to play around with my own settings and adjust it to my picture. This tutorial was really easy and fast to do. The steps were simple i just thresholded my picture did a few blending options and added the color!

This tutorial took a while, i mostly just played around with the colors in the levels and curves.  I really like the way this picture turned out. I printed it off and gave it to my friend so she can have a nice picture of her dog.

I had alot of trouble through out making this picture, alot of it didnt make sense and it didnt explain very well which resulted in my ortiment sucking. But i took it step by step and figured it out. There was LOTS of layers and frustration. I used a pattern that i copied from the site.

I kind of combined a few tutorials with this one.

i used this one for Jess http://www.photoshoproadmap.com/Photoshop-blog/2007/09/13/give-your-photos-a-retro-comic-book-effect/
and i used this one to make the letters on the backround http://www.photoshopstar.com/graphics/poster-from-the-words/

This one took a while i started out planing to make it a comic book effect but then i accidently deleted a layer and i really liked the way you could still see the person in my photo. I wanted to use letters as a backround and this one fit perfectly, once i was done that i felt like it needed something else so i searched for backround tutorials and found a This one, the only thing i changed was the color fill i used a purple-ish color instead of the back it was.

I used this tutorial http:// www.photoshopstar.com/photo-effects/grunge-photo-effect/

The grunge look really appealed
to me so I thought I’d try it out.
The picture started out very colorful, and i just played around with the reds, greens and blues. I also Changed the saturation and added a new layer and filled it with this color #011e36. I made the opacity very low and erased the color off emma. The picture isnt the exact same as the tutorial I did mine with more red then blue. I really liked the way the picture turned out.

I used this tutorial.. http://photoshopgirl.com/02/20/faded-white-and-pink-effect-inspired-by-nylon-magazine/
All i did was lighten the picture a little, took out all the saturation, then filtered in the colour purple! Shes the most adorable baby EVER!
