Despite this, I did have a snout about on some other people's blogs and enjoyed what they'd done with their editing tools. 'Catherine's xxiii things' had a good neon-ified pic that I quite wanted to try and recreate, but I could only see quite basic editing tools...
(10 minutes later)... I obviously didn't look properly as I've now clicked 'create' and it's given me loads of options! This is ace (easily pleased)! The 'effects' tab was great - see below:
... but again, I've spoken too soon. I thought it would be simple enough to take a picture, edit it, save the new picture, go back into the original picture, edit it and save it again (are you still with me?), but it doesn't seem to like this. Boo! I was starting to enjoy myself! When I try and go into the original picture, it just keeps asking if I want to save my newly edited version, which I'd already done, then it takes me away from my Flickr set. Grrr!
OK - finally sorted. See below:
Original pic * "Nightvision" shot - spooky! * "Drawing" shot - brilliant! I can now pass off lots of photos as personal artwork!
I appreciate that 23 things is supposed to be a learning exercise, but I've spent WAY too long fiddling around with these various pics. Good knowledge, though! I really like being creative with existing pics and it's something I think I'll definitely come back to.
On another matter, is anyone else finding posting images on Blogger a bit like hard work? I've spent ages formatting the snaps above, in a futile effort to get them to where they want to go (they didn't cooperate). I wonder if WordPress is similarly awkward?
