One Fish. . .

Creating artwork in Photoshop Elements By Kelley Kuhlman

Altering art is one of my favorite activities. I used to do the ?real thing but have no place to make the mess.

� Black Scratch
� Cracked Frame
� FishTUT.abr

Hold down your left mouse button and drag the fish to the file you just created.
