I adore this effect!
Without a doubt, the 'battered photo' effect has to be one of the best in the new edition (although I did this from the sample page before I received the book)! 
Thanks Steve, I know I'll be using this quite a lot in the future! _________________ It must be Thursday, I never could get the hang of Thursdays |

Hey! Brilliant! Yes, this one does work particularly well. I love those effects that are self-running! |

Trinity, This composition was really well done, I particularly like how you got the edges of the photo. Well Done, Carl |

One small comment (and you know you'd hate it if i didn't point something out!): the border follows the line of the ripped edge, but should of course be square to the photo. If you want to create a torn effect using this border technique, use a larger (hard) brush and allow it to wiggle slightly as you trace freehand around the edge. Looks far more convincing. |

I see what you mean., the same way as you do the poster in the book. I was going more for the 'buckled' effect, rather than torn but I can see places where I should have added a bit more shading to give it a more 3 dimensional effect. _________________ It must be Thursday, I never could get the hang of Thursdays |

Thanks, I do my best, though 50% of the credit should go to Steve's technique for this one  _________________ It must be Thursday, I never could get the hang of Thursdays |

Warhol's prophecy.....
I've been published!! I received the new edition of Digital Photography Techniques today. A full page "Jules' Ghost". It didn't win but like they say, it's all about taking part. Again, credit must go to Steve's amazing technique. _________________ It must be Thursday, I never could get the hang of Thursdays |

Congratulations! That's excellent news. And as you say, the winning is only a small part of the deal. Technique is also just a part of the effect. The real skill lies in knowing what you want to achieve: and it's your eye for mood and composition that wins out here. Haven't seen anything new from you for a while - are you hibernating? Steve |

I haven't really done much in the way of images lately, I've been working on the design for my site and helping out with PixelAddiction.com. 'Tis a busy life _________________ It must be Thursday, I never could get the hang of Thursdays |
