Russ the globe is an action from Panos. http://www.panosfx.com/.
I did the background card and snow is cs5.
Angela animation in cs5 is not very difficult just takes practice.

There is so much I don't know. Thanks for the info.

Russ the action from Panos is so easy to use you should try it. He has some wonderful free actions. And more that can be purchased.

Judy, I love your globe. You did that with Photoshop?

Russ you may enjoy this tutorial from planet photoshop on animated snow. It is written for cs5 extended.

Judy, sure like your globe & card. thanks for the links. Corey's tutorials are well done.
I also like your 'Lights out for Santa' art. However, It's hard to tell exactly what it is from the rolling gallery.
For those who haven't seen the the complete version (which is different from the rolling gallery) here it is: http://www.prestophoto.com/contests/291

Judy, thanks for the link. I will be giving it a try soon.

Here are a few photos I took yesterday at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino on the Strip. The atrium changes the floral display with the seasons.

Betty the gallery and thumb nails always do that to animations. You have to actually be at the photo to see it. The previews always look weird. Russ watch out you just might get hooked on animation i did.
Chas that is an amazing flower display.

Beautiful pictures at the Bellagio. They know how to do it up right.

I didn't take this photo. However, I received it from OPR today, so that is sort of like taking it ---(stretched)

Looks like the middle 70's wardrobe & furniture color.

Here is my restoration - at least I hope it's considered restored

No Topaz magic, unfortunately. curves, healing brush, clone tool, paint, copy/paste better patches, & shadow/highlight.

No sharpening or special treatments permitted --- just clean-it-up type edits. It's difficult to see all the mold & spots that are present on the original (in the sm size above). There is a lot ! Working on the skin was the most difficult, as you might guess. I wanted to straighten & crop, but I'm not sure that is permitted.
