All the Photoshop Gurus out there...

[tekkies]

I need some help. Friends of mine are getting married on October 31. They are both country singers and the theme of the wedding will be country. They want to give all the guests a self made country CD and asked me to make the cover for this cd. The problem is that Im in Saudi and they are in South Africa and this is the pic they send me to photoshop for the cd cover. Keep in mind that the pic must be square to fit the cd cover:

Their names are Hannes and June
Theme is Country Wedding
Date 31 October 2009

Thanks citrine55 and Thanks Pat

Pat I really like yours...did you do this on PS

[Pat]

Indeed I did. Go ahead and use it if you want. You could send me a copy of the cd if you do.

Nice touches Pat.

Thanks Pat!! I have sent this to them and they like it a lot...just want some minor changes in the fonts used, but that I can do...if you dont mind.

Im very new at PS and have to ask you how you did the rope effect and the stamps? Is it plug ins and if so where can I get this?

Going to South Africa in December and will sure get an extra cd sent to you. Will get mailing address at closer date

Yee-haw...

Pat - love your ideas. :) Is that really you behind the clown's make up????:p

Thanks coffee. Appreciate it.

Hey, teks. Sure, go ahead. The bits and pieces are all clip art. The rope one was circular and looked rather odd when I attemted to reshape it to the frame. So I copied a relatively straight section, straightened it out a bit more with the Liquify plugin, copied one round end, pasted it twice, flipped one end horizontally, spread them apart and filled in the gaps with pasted straight bits, keeping the knot and lower loop.
I found the cliparts via Google Images with "country and western" and "country and western music" (including the quotation marks).

Hi Denise. Thank you kindly. That's my face superimposed on Joe Friday (a name I've used in other forums) of the old "Dragnet" TV series.

The original pic is here. (http://http://www.proudphotography.com/forum/showthread.php?p=24619#post24619)

The link isn't working for me. The original is at "Weekly Photoshoots/Halloween".

Hi
I hope this will be of some use to you. I had done a similar one for someone else, and thought it might be just the job for a CD cover!
