Various things can be done to pictures to make them interesting. Backgrounds of pictures can be touched up if it has something undesirable in it.

These are examples.

There are many different variations on each one as well. If you would like to see how your picture looks with one of these effects just let us know. Pictures of people look particularly interesting as you can see toward the bottom of this page.

Changing Backgrounds

*BEFORE*	*AFTER*
Kay took pictures of one of our other clients, Pistols and Petticoats. They reenact the late 1800's. There were no chain link fences or cars back then so she removed those things from their pictures. In this case a wooden fence was added.

*BEFORE*	*AFTER*
This is one of the members of Pistols and Petticoats. We didn't want a cigarette in his mouth and we didn't want the modern things in the background. So, he took a trip to Utah, well his image took a trip and the cigarette didn't.

Animation
Multiple pictures can be put together into an animated graphic.


These are the pictures used to make the animated graphics. They were cropped and manipulated to make them look good.

Color, Brightness, and Size Corrections
A picture taken under the right conditions is the best, but often bad pictures can be corrected.

This is the original picture taken in the late afternoon. It has been resized so it will fit here.

Cropped to remove date.	Lightened.	Do you have any of those pictures taken in the 1970's that turned orange over the years? The orange tint can probably be removed just like it was added to this picture.	Cropped to show just the dog.

Mouseover Effects

There are many different effects for navigational buttons. As you can see, the options are limitless. Notice that the "cool button" one has three text colors that appear as you move over it and then as you click it.

These tabs can go across the top of your page to link to other pages at your site

These tabs are an interesting way to create a horizontal menu. There is also a vertical version.

If you have seen something on another web site that you'd like to have on yours then just let us know. We will see if we can re-create it for you.

The samples shown here are just that... they are samples. We're not going to show you everything we can do because your head would explode trying to decide what you liked best and we'd lose a client!

There is a possibility that people with older browsers may not be able to view the special mouseover effects. Hopefully everyone has upgraded their browsers as newer versions have arrived!
