• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I love using textures Dave...
there are very good ones for free at Flickr...
and I keep working at making my own...it is not as easy as it might look.
Click to expand...





I have been editing one of my own recent photos [Southport]

Here, is a copy of the original [reduced size] edits follow



Next, the sepia landscape with the original skyscape, replaced



and now, the composite of original / sepia / gamma adjusted elements




'Textures' are 'easy' to produce [one's OWN]
and the good ones, have the lighting [are lit] from, just the right angle



Have a go! > use MACRO

@ Angelwind

re: textures

I took a snap of my trousers [thigh area]



The following pictures are edits of the above snap









































This picture arrived from nowhere from within Paint .NET
as I progressed with edit from the original pic above [first photo image]
The remainder are 'saves' along the way



yes... using focus and zoom,
we are able to abstract backgrounds from the original pictures
and edit these to provide 'textures'

Hello all from an old but new member. I was a regular here long ago, but have only recently returned to visit the forum. Hopefully, everyone who remembers me is walking ever closer to God. Hopefully, everyone who does not remember me is also drawing ever nearer to Him. Give God all of the glory!
