This shot was taken (by Rejyna's mom) on a consumer automatic 35mm camera, after scanning, Photoshop & Extensis were used to clean up the image.  Next, opacity variations were split up for emphasis and to make room for some text, Photographic Edges were applied, and text with layer styling added, still in Photoshop.  QuarkXPress was used to set the original as a 4-up master with the second side then run through the printer from a FileMakerPro layout in our Master Family Database... Whew!  All that work instead of buying some pre-made cards, jotting a note and shuffling them off through the mail?  No, not all that work - it took less than 20 minutes in PhotoShop - and our friends and family are worth it!!! 

Thanx mom, for the great shot!
