Designing your own photos to send

Does anyone do this? I'm not talking about crafting, but using PaintShop Pro, etc.
I like playing around with graphics so I was thinking that maybe I'd put some text on a few photos I'd like to send and see how they turn out. Just wondered what other collectors thought.

I design my own photos some times. {thumb2} I use Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. I've even got emails from celebs saying that they liked the photos so much that they wanted copies for their own personal use!
Check out my website and you can see some that I've designed. Most are 4x6. & they'll have the black bars and space for the celeb to sign.

I've done this once with Miley Cyrus on Photofiltre, but I deleted it from my computer because I doubt I'd get a response if I sent it. So, I don't have an example but it was fun to make.

{thumb2} I've just spent some time playing around with PhotoFiltre - it's pretty good. Where did you find it? I'll order my customised photo next week.

I sometimes add borders, or convert color photo's to b/w. Other than that, no. I am way too busy to do that. I wish I had the time though.

I don't really make graphics or anything, as I'm not very good with that type of stuff. xD
I do make the pictures "glow" with paint.net. It makes the pictures look much better! =D

Photoshop's way beyond my finances, but I also like to do this. It can make a lot of difference.
