How hard would that be!? Can I do it on Piknic or do I have to have Photoshop!? Anything I need to change on the one I did!? I don't know anything about exposures and stuff, just what I think is pretty!. This is my first ever photo editing attempt so please speak kindergarten!.

I'm going to star this so maybe someone can give you some more advise!. I think that first link is SO pretty and I want to know how to do that myself!. I already built a flickr account!. Of course, I have no idea how to sign on, but I think I'm more kindergarten than you at this point!. Although, I have used photo editing software before and I know you can do stuff like that!. I just chose a picture, make a copy and edited the copy!. I messed with every feature the program had until I learned the basics and more!. I want photoshop, but I use Arcsoft Studio 5!.5 that came with my Canon Rebel XT digital camera!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have never used Piknic editor, I am a Photoshop gal myself!. But I like what you have done already!. I was not sure what it was you were wanting to achieve by looking at the 3rd set of photos other than maybe melding 2 photos into one like they did!. I think if you want to variegate the edges of the photo so that it softly fades into black!. That would be kind of nice!. Good luck!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
