Photoshop-ing Your Pictures!!

It's been a week since I last posted anything. A picture is just a picture......... Well, sometimes the picture can be very nice and you really like it! But just by looking at it one by one isn't really that fun, right? What if you can combine all your favourite pictures and make it into just one picture? That'll be real cool, isn't it? That can be done using the photoshop software. I'm still learning to use the software. Bought some books on it and been reading. I'm lucky I've a few friends who are designers and they have taught me a few good tips as well...... Here are a few examples!!


This is the latest wallpaper I did.....



I tried to make the polaroid photo style......




This was my first attempt on photoshop.......


Apart from just changing the brightness or colour of pictures, the photoshop software can also rescue your pictures. Just like the example below....... the picture was taken by my sister-in-law during a wedding dinner. It was too yellow for my liking. Apart from that, the background was too complicated because everything were in focus. Using the photoshop, I could isolate the main subjects (the three of us) and make everthing else blur! Cool, huh?


This was the original photo.......


This is the final outcome......

OLD DOGS CAN'T CHANGE THEIR HABITS!!!

Even after 52 years of independence, there is this stupid old man who is saying the Chinese and Indians are taking advantage of the Malays (read his stupid article here)!! It's called Kaki dalam Kasut, when it should be Kasut dalam Mulut! WTF!!! C'mon..... you got to be kidding me!!! When this stupid old man was at the helm of this country, he came out with all sorts of policies purportedly to help the Malays....... In the end, he did successfully help the Malays....... but only one certain group who are his CRONIES! I guess this stupid old man, even though he is in his eighties, CANT UNDERSTAND what the song "Man In The Mirror" means!! Pityful! But then we can't expect an OLD DOG to change his ways, can we? If the majority of the people can just make that change, then we can chuck that FOUR-LETTER-WORD (RACE) up his sorry OLD SMELLY WORN OUT ASS!! My parents were born in Malaysia. My siblings and I were born in Malaysia. Our children are born in Malaysia. Does that make us any less Malaysian just because we aren't part of a particular race? We EAT here, SHIT here, PISS here, PUKE here, SLEEP here, DIE here!!!! To this old man..... I think it's time you kick the bucket and stop bitching!!!!!! Here is to PEACE!!!

But all is not lost...... cos the photographer's best friend is here to rescue your pictures!!! Meet the Photoshop!!! Yes Mr. Photoshop here can solve all our problems!!!

June-E's 1st Swim!!!! 19-7-2009

After too many postponements due to work and bad weather, we decided we had to go today. We already got the ladybird's swimming costume weeks ago! The baby's float also bought weeks ago!! Wanted to go last week, but it was raining the whole Saturday and Sunday! In our eagerness, we didn't realise that at 5pm, it was TOO HOT!!! Since we already got there...... what the hell??? Just go ahead la!!! It was a great experience for June-E who was kicking furiously!! I think she enjoyed herself a lot! If not for the 2 ball bearings that got in the way under her chin, I think she would have enjoyed herself even more!! We'll go again next week, but only at 6pm to 6:30pm when the sun is about to go down!!


Cute cute ladybird and mummy..........


Back view of the swimming costume........


Before we headed to the pool, we decided to stop by the beach......
