Let's peel back these layers!

juliannlaw Here is a closeup of the endpapers in my debut picture book, THE WORKD’S LONGEST SOCK. I work digitally in Adobe Photoshop but the program doesn’t do it all for me! I knit all the pixels by hand! Haha! I do have things I do to help me work quickly and efficiently, though, like using layers. Here you get to see me take off those layers one by one till we are back at nothing but a background. The World's Longest Sock is now available on  Amazon ,  Barnes and Noble ,  Target , or wherever you  buy books !

Yes, I Photoshop. . .


Warning: This image has been photoshopped. Everyone was upset when a photoshopped Kelly Clarkson appeared on the cover of Self magazine, so I'll be completely honest upfront. . . I photoshop. I photoshop all the time. The day was beautiful, my butt is not. So I photoshop. I really should have just worn my spanx that day, but c'mon! I was out walking! and we stopped to play for a bit. . .

Besides the obvious corrections, I've also been playing with Pioneer Woman's actions. . . Here I used "soft & faded" from set 1.
But thanks, Analeis, I don't have near enough photos of Lucy and I together. I love this one, or, the one with the new butt at least!

LOVE it!!! I need to learn how to photo shop so I can photo shop about 14 things on me in our family photo!
You too are the cutest little pair ever! What a lucky lady Lucy is to have you as her momma!

You have always been a photoshopping genius, Jul. I'll never forget the magic you worked with your engagement photos. I remember wishing you were around in CA when I had mine taken to shave my hips and slice off some arm flab!

HA HA HA! I have to comment on this one, Soeur Luke. You are a jewel, photoshopped or not. I photoshop too, namely my pulsating nose, arms and legs. I love to enhance my eyelashes and poof my stringy/greasy hair. I miss my real photoshop as I am too cheap to pay the $800 for the real deal, but feel too naughty using an illegal copy. So Elements gets me through.

Miss you!
What can I say? Seriously?

LOL - that made me chuckle a lot. You are too funny, and beautiful to boot. Love ya!
