I had comments about the coloring of the vintage bouquet I used for last week’s WW, so I went back and wrote a Photoshop tutorial for it. This week I thought I would post a Photoshop tutorial with my WW, but a much easier one this time.
If you like the idea of a WW with tutorial, let me know in comments and maybe this is something I will try to do often.
Here is the original image:
I just did something very simple and fun with it. Select Filter>Artistic>Rough Pastels. Once there, I used Stroke Length: 6; Stroke Detail: 4; Texture: Canvas; Scaling: 100%; Relief: 20; Light: Bottom. That’s it!
Here’s the finished product, which has the effect of a drawing with pastels on canvas:
If this can be done in Elements, too, please let me know!

Beautiful picture. I really like the idea of a tutorial, too. I’m always up for learning something new!
Thanks, Dawn!
Nice flower, and thanks for sharing your tutorial
Very colorful shot! I will have to tag your site for when I can sit down and work with Photoshop. The tutorial is great!
Happy WW!
Ooh, are tutorials a regular feature? I should go back and read your blog. I really need to brush up on my PhotoShopping tricks. I love all the green in this photo (it’s my favorite colour… almost any shade).
Happy WW!

Photoshop is easy for me – my daughter is a proffesional photographer, so I send them to her aand they re-appear done! Nice pictures – great ideaaaa.
Wow, lovely! THe photoshop editing really did add a nice something to the photo. I can’t wait to purchase it at some point…probably not for a while, though!
Happy WW
