Tutorial Tuesday: Creating Matte Effect

July 31, 2012
Welcome to Tutorial Tuesday! Sarah of Naptime Momtog and I will be bringing you a new challenge every week, to stretch your shooting and editing skills. This week, I was inspired by Paper Heart Camera…specifically, Courtney Kirkland’s recent tutorial on creating the matte effect in Photoshop. In case you missed the tutorial, be sure to click HERE for all the details. Interestingly enough, I have been using this technique on my images for a while.

Other than going to the pediatrician, I don’t think I’ve left the house this week. Hmmm, I’ll have to change that this coming week…even if it’s just to walk around Target. Although, the visit to our pediatrician was worth a trip out of the house. Felicity has met her birth weight (and would have gained even more had it not been for a dirty diaper) and we saw our lactation consultant only so we could tell her how great things were going. So, I guess I can’t complain too much about life on the home front. On the other hand, my husband and I have been working...
