I am still not sure if I did this right...but I think I followed the instructions.
Chose a photo I took in the Botanic Gardens a couple of weeks back. I'd already done a bit of editing and added some canvas texture to it.
Transparency, set printer to grayscale, print - and out comes a lovely colour image. Try again - definitely grayscale, use black cartridge only - definitely another colour image.
So - convert image to grayscale and go again.
Trimmed it down, coloured with Sharpies,mounted on white paper cut to the same size with glue in the corners, attached to the card base and added photo corners.
I'll definitely be trying this again - but man, it's like trying to take a photo in a mirror. How do you not get reflections? I had my 50mm lens on the camera so I needed to be up close.
Thanks, Lynn. I am very mean with my printable acetates, but I LOVED this and will be buying more soon for sure.
