Only a Matter of Time

Sad

25/365: I know CNY is over. But we still had a tonne of mandarin oranges left – each of them counting their days.

    ya know the two blurry circles beside the orange, it’s like someone watching the sad orangey from behind, trying to comfort him.

    oh one more thing.. could you teach me how to ‘stamp’ your photos??
    p/s: I don’t know how to use PS.
    LOL.

      Don’t let the complexity of PS keep you from touching it.

      Well it depends on what you want to stamp (watermark) your photos. I’m guessing its text so.. fire up PS. Hit the ‘T’ key for the text tool. Click anywhere on your photo you want your stamp to be and type away. If you look at the top toolbar, you could change your font, size, color, bold or italics blah blah much like in Ms Word.

      To move your stamp around, hit the ‘V’ key or select the move tool from toolbar on the left.

      To adjust the opacity (transparency) of your stamp, (this a little more tricky). Find your layers box (should be at the bottommost right) and select your text layer. Then find the ‘opacity’ slider on top of the layers box and increase or decrease the value as you wish.

      Easy as that!

      Yea, ember is right about that. Stamping only requires creating the ‘stamp’ once (either saving it as a photoshop action or as a photoshop file) and then what you’ll need to do is just to copy and paste the stamp over your future photos.

      Don’t let the complexity of PS get the good of you :) you can always start with opening a random photo in photoshop, and try going Image > Adjustments > (a range of tools) – that’s where I started by journey in PS.

    Heya ember, I hope you don’t mind me clogging up your posts with comments. It’s finally weekend so I have some spare time to visit blogs :) heh!

    I heart this photo – how adorable and sad it is! I am wondering what the two dots (the eyes) are on the orange – buttons? pins?

    • ember says:

      Absolutely not! I’d always welcome comments. =D

      Aww yeah. Its a sad story indeed. Good question, I was wondering if anyone is gonna notice them. They’re actually beads from my mom’s broken necklace. Hehe.

      I sliced a hole through his eyes and poppped his eyeballs in. Ouch!
