I create all my art with the computer and am on it all day so it made sense to get the top of the line three years ago. Note: Such an expensive computer is not necessary for most artists! Especially since they are out of date as soon as purchased. :) JoanJoan Beirigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09354137719721177494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668465913284912052.post-77711668702607459422011-04-16T19:19:12.684-07:002011-04-16T19:19:12.684-07:00As always a great tip for art and Photoshop, what ...As always a great tip for art and Photoshop, what kind of computer are you on? I am looking to upgrade from my 6 year old IMac and I was curious what computer you were using.

How crisp an image looks is dependent on the brush that you use, the color contrast between the image and the background and most of all shading of the image. I use a variety of techniques for shading (not always all for the same painting) which includes "painting" the shading with brushes, using the dodge and burn tools, and using the drop shadow, inner shadow and inner glow method (found under layer / layer style) to make the central image(s) pop up from the background. It takes lots of experimenting to get the effect you want. Good luck!<br />JoanJoan Beirigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09354137719721177494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668465913284912052.post-24821107831400650232011-02-16T07:40:09.442-08:002011-02-16T07:40:09.442-08:00Joan you are the best.
