I got the surprise of my life today, when I saw that my favourite tree is covered in blossom. Enlarge to the full resolution for a clear picture.  |

I like that you used a muted photo as the background for your project. Very nice job.

That is why the tree is my favourite - I love the trunk. I don't know what it is, but know somebody who lives close to it and may be able to tell me. I did zooming in on the original photo of the tree. Then cropped it. I didn't have a clue whether it would stay that size. But it did.  Then, as you will all know, I changed the opacity on it. I managed to demolish some houses in a couple of the pictures, too. But, why oh why, can't I do things like triptych.  |

Whippet I don’t know what your problems are with creating a triptych but maybe this will help. I did it some time ago in the Digital Scrapbooking Section. If you go to this link and scroll way down the first page you will see an example I did with full instructions and also a photo of my layers panel. You should be able to do this no problem at all. I used an inner shadow on mine but you can use a bevel or anything you like. photoshopelementsandmore.com/thread/2050/scrapbook-challenge-03 |

But, why oh why, can't I do things like triptych. ![:'(]() whippet,
The basic, easiest technique to create a triptych effect (and the one I usually use) . . .
- Use the Rectangular Marquee tool to make three selections on your image (one for each panel). - Place each selection/panel on its own layer. - Apply a layer style to each panel (drop shadow, bevel, etc.) - Change/edit the background layer to suit your project.
You may want to check the tutorial used in . . . Creative Effects Challenge No. 23 - Creating a Triptych
As a side note -- Not too long ago a member asked me via PM to explain how I had created the triptych images in my Gallery. The instructions are very detailed and with screen shots. I don't want to derail this thread. I will send those instructions to you.
