Our forum is an invaluable resource. It is impossible to overstate the value of being able to get timely and expert answers to questions about Photoshop Elements. For extending my skills though, the tutorials offered in the Creative Effects Challenges have taught me most of what I know about using Photoshop Elements. All the challenges and contests are hosted by one or more generous members. Recently one of the Creative Effects Challenge hosts needed to step away, leaving us with just 4, so I am hoping you will step forward and become a Creative Effects Challenge host. Because it is offered once every two weeks, your turn would come around just once every 10 weeks.
You are not expected to create a new tutorial (but are welcome to if you wish). Rather, your role as a host is to present a technique and field questions about it. We have a special board, visible only to CEC hosts, which contains a large number of tutorials that you can use as the basis for your Creative Effects Challenge.
Please consider this request to join the CEC team and keep it going. If you would like to give it a try, or have any questions before you decide, please send me a Personal Message (PM). Thank you for considering this request.
In the meantime, the challenge this time is to pick one (or more!) of the past Creative Effects Challenges and give it another try, or find a past challenge that you didn't get to the first time around, and post your results in this thread. Here is the complete list of the Creative Effects Challenges for you to choose from. You *will* be amazed by the many wonderful tutorials in our collection! I look forward to seeing your creations! |

Thank you for this Tom. It’s nice to look back over previous challenges from time to time. I enjoyed CEC No 41 - See Through Effect - the first time round so thought I would try it again. Images from Morguefile and Pexels.  |

Nice Lillias, I had forgotten about that one! It really is fun to look back at all the creative techniques that have been presented here. |

Lillias , I liked what you did with CEC 41 so much I had to try it myself! Besides using the blend mode I also used the opacity with a mask to get the partially-visible look. (click for full-size view)

This time I chose CE Challenge No 98 - Rustic Painterly Effect I followed the tutorial but blended the two images with the Pin Light blend mode. Nice tut. Texture image by Kerstin Frank Ship image from Pexels  |
