Either I'm a total idiot, or my computer is, but I can't seem to open the file with IZArc or anything else for that matter...help? This looks like a FANTASTIC plug-in.

Thanks!

Artsy fartsy... NEW (4/21/08): A new "twist" on the "iPod commercial": -------- My take at an "iPod commercial". I had my sisters move around while I snapped the photos: Used portions of the antiquing tutorial and then added an almost technicolor look to the starfish: (I can't find the stock image! The original starfish looked something like this: http://xpress101.files.wordpress.com/2007/05/seastar11.jpg Stock image here: http://blog.franto.com/wp-images/wallpaper_flower_in_morning_sun_small.jpg Antiquing technique: Stock image here: http://www.oregonscenics.com/p-haystack-rock.jpg Used a little bit of antiquing technique and messed around with the hue of the lotus.

I did a few of these myself. I took pictures of my sisters (just had them move around while I snapped photos), and then I used that selecting technique above ^. iRock, I totally did not mean to copy your name...Take it as a compliment...I thought I had heard it somewhere!!

I LOVE this tutorial, but I feel like I'm not doing something right...grr. Here's my first try: EDIT: Ok, I like this one a bit better: EDIT 2: I FIGURED IT OUT. I was getting my layers mixed up...doh.

I really like the one with the baby in the overalls and then the one above this post ^. Awesome stuff. It's great how such a simple edit can make a picture look so cool. I personally don't use these steps--I use the magic wand to select the portion I want to stay colored, copy the selection (ctrl+c), then I de-select (ctrl+d), turn the whole image to black and white under the Adjustments menu, and paste (ctrl+v) the colored selection, and it always pastes exactly where it should. I hope that helps. Here's a couple of mine (I took these pictures myself at my friend's wedding):
