This tutorial from Photoshop Tutorials made it really easy to do this. The steps are laid out over 5 pages, all with pictures to aid you. I think the best thing about this is you will get a good grasp of Photoshop with a very simple edit. You can also use this to add effects to your own artwork and not just images. Many of the steps are steps used for processing other effects as well

In other news, I just got back from my girlfriend's birthday party. Damn... Thai people really know how to get drunk... haha.

Really makes you think, huh? Certainly one way to visualize that smoking kills. I guess its a form of murder and suicide when you think about it. You use a gun to shoot others and yourself. Art has some powerful messages.

A Photographer's Line Up Mishap

Here's some odd news I found at "News of the Weird." This is definitely not a way you want to set up a photo if you plan on becoming a professional.

"The head teacher of Sandhurst Junior School in south London apologized in October because a professional photographer had arranged, for his own convenience, an unfortunate group photo of the school's 100-plus students. The photographer, trying to keep from having to re-set his reflector screens, lined up the kids from the lightest-skinned on the left, gradually over to the darkest-skinned on the right. Said the head teacher, "We can see that this was an error of judgment."

Let's learn from his mistakes, shall we? Hahaha...
