Hello there readers of “Like A Bird!” I’m Katie from Simply Kate!
I’m a nearly twenty-two year old girl living in Las Vegas. I’m loving all of the new adventures I’m experiencing and more importantly, I love to share them on my blog! I write about everything and always post as many pictures as I possibly can! I never go anywhere without a camera. I’d love it if you all stopped by my blog. Relax and stay awhile!
I have a confession to make.
I’m obsessed with Photoshop.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve picked a random photo of myself and tweaked it to make it into something completely different.
With Photoshop, I make myself into a Zombie or a Rubber Ducky. I can take a visit under the sea and swim with the fishes.
Photoshop is my way to explore the world right from my computer desk. With a bit of image editing, I can visualize myself as anything or in any place!
I’ve always been an extremely visual person, but my drawing skills are lacking at times. It always frustrated me when I wanted an image that perfectly showcased a story I was trying to tell, or a mood I was in and I couldn’t find one. But then, one day in high school, I decided I wanted to take a Photoshop class. And the love affair started.
The possibilities were endless! I can do anything I want with Photoshop!
I can make scrapbook pages without worrying about the mess, having enough supplies or fearing I cropped a photo wrong.
When I wrote the first draft of my novel, I was able to create a cover for it! I am now able to visualize the fictional world that I created, and what’s even better, other people are able to as well!
And Photoshop is my biggest tool when it comes to my blog. Not only do I use it to edit the many photos that are all over my blog, but the design aspects were created inside this wonderful program!
I’m obsessed with Photoshop. And I’m so glad that I am!
