Filter Challenge

Welcome to the Filter Class!

Take a tour through the filter drop down box in Photoshop Elements. Do you ever wonder what each filter does and how you can utilize it in digital scrapbooking? Each lesson will challenge you to utilize a filter or a group of filters. Push yourself to think outside the box.

These lessons might change your scrapbooking style from traditional-layout-realism to artistic.

Before you begin this class, choose whether you will utilize the class as inspiration for digital scrapbooking layouts to fit in with your current goals or utilize the class as inspiration to create a special book. I suggest creating a "favorite sayings" hardbound book with your favorite photos in artistic mixes.

Did you know there are 103 filters in Photoshop Elements.  Yes, this will be an intensive and long class! 

ALSO, watch the Filters Basics video and feel free to ask questions in the thread. Note the filter list below.

The below video was an exerpt of the above video put on Youtube in 2010.

 

ALSO, For those who want to make an inspiration book of thoughts, rather than layouts, here are sayings and ideas to inspire.

ALSO, installing filters you have downloaded is covered in Course 2, but the video is also on the Plug-ins Page your convenience.

Have fun and I look forward to watching you be inspired!
