Essentials Cafe

I am trying to post an image I made with Essentials 4. here goes! It's done with a combination of watercolor and oil. It's called "Beach Birds".

Whew! Did it! I took this pic in Newburyport, MA.

Well done! I like the tones and the painted feel.

a lovely composition Pyra, but tell me is there a reason for it being a gif file, as opposed to a jpeg, you lose so many subtle colours and tones that way, sometimes it is a good thing to do deliberately, but this image deserved the full works methinks.

I prefer gif over jpeg when I'm saving for the internet, because I lose less data, and the color transitions are smoother because I dither the colors. I think it's mostly a personal thing.
