Oh where, Oh where has my Photoshop gone?



Oh where, Oh where can it be?!?!?!

I just thought I should note that the new banner you see was created in MS Paint. That's right, MS Paint.

I use to have Photoshop, but I lost my cd somewhere. So I had to use my design skills with the most ancient software, and under-rated, on PC.
I couldn't find any, not one, free editing software online that had the tools I needed.
Then I decided to just break down and use Paint, and to my surprise it was actually helpful. The Free Hand Selection Tool is awesome, exactly what I was looking for. It's nothing compared to the Magnetic Lasso on Photoshop, nor does it have the awesome layering capabilities as Photoshop, but it definitely works. :D
Anyone who has ever used Paint knows how hard it is to layer, almost impossible. My boyfriend quickly pointed out that the fuzzyness clinging to Ms. Octa and Mr. Silly Cloud looks weird, but there was no way to get rid of it. Instead, I see it as cool texture. I might as well look on the bright side, ya know?!?
The banner isn't what you'd call "professional" but it's cute enough to pass for me. I'm a little quirky, (Okay, okay, I'm very weird) and it fits me well, I think.



I decided to edit the problems out that my boyfriend so nicely pointed out to me. I'm not sure if I like it more or less. Both are okay. Maybe I'm biased, but I like the texture more... But, I'm sure that's just because I don't want to admit that it looked bad.
