• Photoshop Elements 11 Giveaway!-CLOSED

    BIG Congrats to our three winners:

    Melanie who said “Would absolutely love this…actually my whole household would!”
    Krystal Lohmann who said “this would be the best gift ever! this would also be my first photoshop ever!”
    Samantha Riggs who said “Oh my gosh winning this would really make my day! (fingers crossed)”

    Please email me within three days winners and enjoy your Photoshop Elements 11!

    As many of you know, I’ve teamed up with Adobe Photoshop Elements as an ambassador over the last few months. It’s been a really fun experience to learn about the program from the very best and I hope you’ve liked learning about it as well!

    Today I’m hosting a giveaway for three readers to win copies of the brand new Photoshop Elements 11 which isn’t even out yet! I’ve had a chance to test it out and really love the changes they’ve made and the new features they’ve added. I think you’ll love it to. Below are the giveaway details:

    Leave a comment on this post to enter to win. You can leave an additional comment by: liking Say Yes to Hoboken’s facebook page, or pinning an image from my site to Pinterest (or both! for two additional comments). Just let me know in the additional comments which you did. The giveaway is open through Wednesday night, October 3rd  at 10pm PST. The winner will be announced on this post the next day.

    More giveaway details:
    -Add me to your reader so you don’t miss out on the results
    -Include your email in your comment if it’s not linked to your name, please.
    -Alternative winner will be chosen if you don’t claim your win within 3 days

    Keep reading to see how I used the new vignette feature in Elements 11…

    Open your image in Elements and click on the Guided tab at the top (don’t you love the new gray screen?). Then select vignette effect from the list on the right hand side.

    Follow the instructions on the right, click on the ‘black’ button and your image will be pretty dark around the edges.  You can move the intensity over to the left a bit to lessen the effect.

    Click on Redefine Shape and move the feather up all the way so the edges aren’t so harsh. When you’re happy with the result, click done!

    You can see the difference above when you look at the before and after view. I like vignettes for portraits and darker rooms.

    Big thanks to Adobe for this opportunity to be an ambassador for their Photoshop Elements software! I’ve had fun learning all about it the last few months. Check them out on Facebook and Twitter.
