Just got Photoshop Element 7

[Revilo]

Well, title says it all really and I just want to get some feedback about some pieces I've just knocked together. Some I have used guides, adding my own little tweaks and other are completely my own invention.

Feel free to post criticism, comments or your own photoshop masterpieces!

First and 4th, has brushspam.
But I like how you used the lines to create a faded effect, Hurricane flower would be my fav.

not too keen on the reaper, but the others look amazing

Is photoshop element expensive?

Is photoshop element expensive?

i have cs3 but i don't know if you can make stuff like this, i would like to make some stuff like this aswell

 

[Tintin]

Here was me thinking paintshop pro was better. Is it more expensive than paintshop pro?

What bits did you exactly do?
I know what you did in your last post can be done by photoshop cs series.
Dancer - Don't use fibres as rain, there's alot of rain tuts out there and the easiest one would be to filter>noise>add and then applying a motion blur to it, the green glow at her feet is too bright imo.
Forest - Looks good, plain and simple, however the lighting and the butterfly looks slightly out of place, can't touch why though.

Elements 7 is about £50 Tintin, and yes you can make stuff like this on CS3.

More pictures I've done today.

Spoiler: White Horse

Spoiler: Old Wall

Spoiler: Leopard Woman

Thanks Varric!

That leopard woman could be fat better with some simple hue/saturation adjustments.

 

[Tintin]

Is that the first thing you noticed?

 

[Revilo]

Well, when I was displacing the leopard pattern, you couln't really see any of her facial features, even with a layer mask. So in the end I just ended up lightening it, mainly because I'm lazy

Ok, I've played around with the hue/saturation of the Leopard Woman, this is the result :

Spoiler: Improved Leopard Woman

New Edit: Just created a grungy/dark kinda background for any future pictures

Spoiler: Grunge Wall

Wow. I like that
