 Brooke (top left) and Alana, my twin granddaughters, getting 'stuck into' some watermelon at a family bbq.
I tried doing a collage with this in ps but the computer kept freezing and I was getting nowhere. I've had that problem with any complex combinations. So I did most of this in Picasa and exported it back. I cropped, sharpened and adjusted shadows, highlights and colour temperature. Selected each image to the photo tray, and used the collage option of photo pile, and moved the photos around.
In pscs2 I did a little blurring to tone down the bg. and cloned out a white plastic bag from top left image, and a ceiling fixture from the bottom right. I was too lazy, and over it, to do it all really properly. The border was added in ps, resized it, held my breath coz that's a major freezing point, stw.

Beautiful girls! This is so cute; I like how the left images are tilted a bit, adds some nice interest to the layout.

Beautiful collage! I like the "summer feeling" here. You have two wonderful granddaughters. Before I read your story I thought it was just 1 girl.
