this is my result from lesson #2 in Digital Expressions by Susan Tuttle.
the lesson was "Popping Areas of Color" and was really only difficult because my hands weren't really steady enough to manage the mouse/cursor to select areas. it's very easy to wobble a bit on one's intended line (especially if one has shaky hands at all) and even though i chose an extremely simple photo to work with i managed to botch it up.
there is a special tablet one can get and it enables the user to hold a pen-like instrument and actually "draw" on the image . . . i may have to do some research and see if it would be worth it for me to get one.

i guess i did succeed in creating a color popped look but i didn't exactly follow all instructions to the letter.
i like the original photo much better but i did learn some things and am now ready to step away from my photoshop program and my computer screen for a while.
The effects are clever though Libby - as the second image seems to be suspended in space somehow. Will pop back to see how the lessons go. Lesley x
