Last week was pretty low-key but it was filled with photo related activities so I had a great time! I started the day off with prepping the images for Anne's mobile Monday. I'm fairly new to Photoshop and it was nice to have someone who knew the program to show me how to use it. Much easier then just playing around and trying to figure it out as you go :)
We had an awesome lunch at Brewed Awakening. I had the best Nutella and banana filled crepe ever! It was seriously delicious. Of course it will take a month to burn off all the calories from the Nutella, but it was worth it.
The afternoon was spent preparing some images for a magazine. I was simply resizing them and adding a copyright to the border. It's better to have a border with a copyright versus a watermark when images are going to be published. That way there is nothing directly on the image but they will still be printed with your name on them. Doing this reminded me that I had found a video tutorial a while back that shows how to add a border and your logo to your images, as well as how to run it as an action. I thought the link may be helpful for others who would like an easy way to do this. Here you go.... http://www.pictureinfinity.com/tutorials/actions002/index.html
I have no idea who actually created this tutorial. If you know please let me know so I can give them credit. Thanks!!

I spent the rest of the day putting together a guestbook for a gorgeous couple. It was really fun designing the album. It was also nice to see a full set of images from Anne and how she works a scene. The guestbook is going to be a gift for one of her clients. I love this idea!! My plan for the year was to give each client a slideshow of their images set to music, but I will be keeping this idea in mind as well.
I hope everyone has an awesome day, and remember it's now spring so get outside and enjoy it!!
Nutella ROCKS!!!
ReplyDeleteHaha I saw a couple clicks through here on stats and was like "what did Anne say?!" and then I read this - funny stuff. Nice post Katie - and the funniest part to me is that we know Anne really well! :)

Thanks for commenting Matt. Sorry I didn't know it was you who created the video, I had just come across the link I can't even remeber where. It was very helpful for me, thank you! Anne doesn't preview my blogs before I post, otherwise the credit would have been given right away. Thanks again!!
