July 2010 – Photo Impact

jdir — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 10:00:55 +0000

In this selection, the perspective and smoky bubble lens effects give this photo a certain “other worldly” quality that I liked about it. The multi purpose template design allows you to create various treatments of the picture, including calendar, inspiration, greeting card, or even an award design just by adding text and saving a copy. For a closer look in higher resolution, click on the image.

June 2010 – Multi Purpose Templates

jdir — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 10:00:54 +0000

Matte watch offers a variety of items made from your photos and mine, including digital matting, inspirational and humorous plaques, awards, custom promotional, commemorative photo treatments, digital greeting cards, and digital calendars designed for your digital picture frame, computer wallpapers, or for you to create graphical prints and wall hangings. The question is why? My answer is that I have found a lot of enjoyment in the creative effort, and if I make a few bucks doing it, that is all right as well. I offer you the variety because you should have a way to make your photos come alive, and allow them to please you beyond the original memories they invoke. You may ask, “If I buy one of your photo treatments, can I resell them for myself?” If you purchase one of my personal photo treatment images, I hold the copyright on those, so I would ask that you only purchase them for your enjoyment. If you purchase images made from your photos, you can do as you wish in selling or republishing them, as long as you do not claim copyrights to the matting design enhancements, thus using only the image as a whole in going forward with your own plans. Whew! Now, on with my next personal offering.

In the next series, I have created an idea for a multi purpose template design which can be used in a variety of ways that my next few articles will demonstrate. Though this will have a limited scope, it may work well for a variety of picture types. The following creation makes a nice matted image for display.

April 2010 – Tree Show 2

jdir — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 10:00:21 +0000

Back in my days of a top Internet speed of 56K, I used to dread when my sparkier friends decided to send me a load of their photos, jokes, or other images that brought my email downloads to a grinding halt. As the speed of DSL or other modems increases, so does the potential for making shorter work of large information or audio visual downloads. Still, if you are going to send your friends an email greeting, it should at least have something pleasant and unique about it that they have not seen passed around from a thousand previous forwards. Matte Watch can give you a cool and unique edge to your special “howdy” for any occasion. Click on the picture for full size look.
