Coreen just loaded CS2 on my computer, so I can start the long process of trying to learn it....
They just released a Beta version of CS3. All you need is a good serial # for CS2.
I'm still using PS7.

I'll pass that along to the "boss".....
We were only able to "afford" CS2 because of the Student Discount that Coreen qualified for, while attending UIS (University of Illinois - Springfield). It was very affordable and we couldn't pass up the opportunity to get it before she graduated.
Plus, it was a tax write-off and we'll take 'em when we can get 'em.
Thanks....

What do you think? A pompadour with a duck-tail or a Richard Simmons 'fro?
LOL....:sqerr:
It's been awhile since I've posted a PS trick, so here's a fun one.
Turn a photo into a cartoon

Super simple and very easy to do. Brighter images tend to work better with this one.
The only extra thing I had to do was a little brush work on her eyes. The filtering made the reflections in her eyes purple, so I used the brush tool to make them white.
I've attatched a before and after.

Great tip, I was discussing this just yesterday. Beginners should be careful though. Not every photo is a good subject for this effect. Some tweaking is usually involved.
I had to do a lot of tweking to Chris' photo to cartoonize it for the ATHF pic.
How To Create A Faux "Holga" Pic

I was just thinking.... maybe you could photoshop yourself to look like you are in a chicken suit. If you do a good enough job, who would know?
Removing color
Here is a variation on Jay's method for removing color and leaving a selected subject colored that gives better results. Basically you are painting away the color, so the subject you leave in color maintains it's original tones.
Open your image and change your foreground color to black (press d).
Click on the Brush tool, in the Mode drop down menu select Color.
From the Brushes palette, choose a soft edged, medium sized brush.
Start painting. When you need to detail the edges of your subject, you can select a smaller brush and zoom in around the color subject.
Here is the picture that Chris did from his fiancee's graduation, the first is using Jay's method, the second is with the color painted away.

Frozen in Time
You can use a slight variation on Jay's motion blur dancers to get a more realistic effect.
Instead of selecting the bride and groom, select a pair of dancers.
Go to Select-->Modify-->Expand. I used 10 pixels in my example.
Then go to Filter-->Blur-->Motion Blur. And adjust to your liking. I believe I used 10 pixels again here. Press Ctrl D, to deselect your dancers and repeat for another pair or group of dancers.
This leaves the surroundings intact for a frozen in time effect. My example needs to be tweaked a bit, I did it quickly just to show the effect.

BTW...for that example above, you'll notice there are dancers right behind the B&G. When you expand the selection on those dancers you will overlap the B&G. You have to then Deselect the area that overlaps the B&G.
With your original selection expanded, in the options bar, click on the third icon from the left to make you selection tool subtract from your current selection. Then select the area of the B&G that is within your current selection. This will remove the B&G from your selection, then apply the Motion Blur to the dancing couple.
I gotta run, when I get back online I'll post the effect that I did for Papa Deuce's Bubble Party pictures (also used on my site).
