Sorry It's been a while, but if I spent more time on Editing Wedding Pics instead of Inverting
The Bride's guuna kill me.
Now I have seen this done before on this Forum
Thanks Vince ( Shutterbug ) for giving me the idea in the first place ( Yours looks much better )
& Big Pix for explaining how to do it last week to me.
This is not final or anything, it's just to see how a few looked.
Any suggestions would be good.
Thanks,
Mic.

Mic, that looks crap. I fixed it up for you:
In all seriousness though, it looks great. The only thing I don't like is that the cake seems somewhat underexposed?

Mic, how were the party pies? Did they go well with the creamy dip? Did the cake tip over when they cut it?
Looks good mate.

BBJ, thanks
It's a lot simpler than it looks >
All you do is Go into PS and open one of your Pics
Resize down to say 800 Pixels but you can experiment with this
Save it & then open up new Doc and size it to whatever you want
You can fill it with whatever colour you want as well
Then hit your move tool and drag it over to your doc
Just takes a bit of experimenting.
Vince probably has a better way, but this should get you on your way.
Now >
Jethro, Very funny.
Shutterbug, thanks
Geoff, thanks
MCWB, Hmmmm very funny Ha HA ( I supose I had that coming )
Glen. Didn't get to have a party pie, A Photographer never rests
Chris, They are great  What a selection.
Thanks all.
Mic.

mic no need to resize to 800 pixels as you will loose quality, just resize the bounding box when you have moved your image, on mac hold shift key and resize or command key on the other one, if your image that you have moved, has moved outside the area you are moving it into go to view and fit on screen resize sometimes this is a very small image, after a quick resize to make it fit just use view and fit to screen again, then put your image where you want
good luck

Looked like some good shots, Mic. Interesting selection of diverse shots. I liked the hands pinning on the flower the best. Quite nice.

Thanks Kerry, yes I tried to get a few different because I knew I was going to do things with them in PS. So far so good.
Mic.
big pix, Thanks for the Tip, just one question ?
When you have got the image on the new doc, whats the best way to scale it down ?
Do you alter the numbers at the top in all those little boxes X's & Y's or %
So I don't lose the shape ( like Constrain Proportions does ) ?
I hope you know what I mean, this must sound pretty funny to you Pro's
Thanks,
Mic.

on mac hold down your shift key and grab a corner and use your move tool. on PC I think it is the command key you hold down but same movement
cheers
