APPLE ON LEAF
I photographed this beautiful apple from one of my antique prints and erased all the background and superimposed the image on a photograph of some leaf veins I took with my Nikon. This was long ago and I couldn't begin to do this again because it was very tedious. I added the shadow on two edges to give a floating effect too. Those were the days when you could buy a Photoshop software disc and use it forever. Then my computer crashed and times had changed. Now you have to rent the use of software and pay a huge fee every year forever and I am not willing to do that. So I do everything in the way of photo editing on my phone or with free apps like Snapseed. I'm thrifty that way. xo

I also love playing around with pics on either my phone or computer. I journal & use some of my own pics, as well as ones I find online to add to a page here & there. It's a shame some of the old programs are no longer available except for an expensive price. I think I miss Microsoft Word the most. Text Edit is good, but doesn't hold a candle to Word.
And I finally got a red bellied woodpecker & two nuthatches on one of my suet feeders. You were right...patience.
...all is grace!
Thank you for the link to the free apps like Snapseed.
It will be a great help to me Sandy
Beautiful. I'm not a very creative person, so I appreciate those of you who are. We are enjoying spring-like days and I hope you are too, Rosemary. Have a great weekend!
wow.
that's beautiful.
and if there's Money to be made they will invariably Make It. I'm thrifty that way too.
sad that everything takes a back seat. even creativity.
tammy j -- I loved PicMonkey for photo editing when it was free. Then they started charging $7.00 per month for it! I don't mind buying an App as an outright purchase but I don't like monthly fees that go on forever. It's good to be thrifty!

Pam -- I am enjoying really nice spring-like weather too. Hooray!

Sandy -- SNAPSEED is the best. When it first came out, it cost something like $25 for a one-time purchase and then Google acquired it and it became FREE. I should post some before and after examples of how powerful it is. The quality is still in a bad photograph; you just have to know how to bring it out!
Do a Google search for -- youtube snapseed tutorial -- and you will learn quickly. There are still things I am learning after years with this App.
GIMP is also FREE but it's too complicated for me.
Good luck with Snapseed. That's your best bet for your phone.

Anita ~ the Cabin on the Creek -- Anita, I miss Microsoft Word too. I have had a little bit of luck with Google Docs and am still on a low learning curve with TextEdit. I recently downloaded WORD to my computer. There was no mention of a charge. When I downloaded it, there was a message that it was free for only one month, and then $60 annually kicked in. I immediately deleted it. Remember the old days when it came free with every computer? I still have my original disc with my license number, but Microsoft no longer honors it.😥
I am so happy you got a red-bellied woodpecker and nuthatches at your feeder.

Rosemary, you are so smart and efficient when it comes to the digital world ..... I envy you that! xo Judy
JudyMac: Judy, When I first went online in the early 1990s, I immediately fell in love and had an easy time of figuring things out right away. I didn't get my first iPhone until the 4S came out in late 2011 and my first iPad in 2012. I got my first MacBook Air in late 2012 and now I am Apple all the way including a desk top iMac I bought used on the NEXTDOOR App from a very nice man who lives nearby and works in IT and he took it back to factory settings. I bought it shortly after my Windows PC crashed. I definitely have a brain that works well with technology and I honestly think I was born knowing how to work the Internet😂 I am always available to help you when you need it.
