Photoshop and Illustrator are both standards for doing up pictures like you’re doing. I had to teach myself and pick up what I could from others since they’re a bit more professional type programs, but even the simplest of effects on these programs can be picked up quickly. These programs are expensive though. Keep it up. I like what you’re doing here.
hello again, jim,
yes, those are wonderful but expensive programs. i found a free version but it’s too high above my payscale (as they say) right now. however, there is a free site that gives you many tools to work with, which thankfully i can manage. i am really enjoying the photography angle and working the words together with the image - images have always been very important to me in my posts and i’ve managed to find some incredible ones. now, i’m hoping to produce some incredible ones of my own. it’s a start. thanks for the encouragement.

My task…is, by the power of the written word to make you hear, to make you feel - it is, before all, to make you see. That - and no more - and it is everything. — Joseph Conrad
I like the way you merged the poem into the picture. The contrast of the light against the dark emphasized the words you wrote.
hello jim and welcome back. thank you, this is an experimental thing i’m trying and i was pleased with the effect too.
