Well, I added stars. I didn't spend that much time on it, but just wanted to do it so it better fit with the “starry night” theme of the page I put it on.
Did you use Photoshop? I had never really used Photoshop until I recently took a digital media class. It is a cool program but it can be confusing to use because it has so much functionality it is easy to get lost. It is also not very intuitive in its controls.
No, I actually use an old program from circa 2000 called Photodraw. It was put out by Microsoft but subsequently discontinued. I tell you, it is the most user-friendly, functional drawing/photo manipulation program I have ever used (I have tried Inkscape, Gimp, Paint.net, and I think some others). Ok, so it doesn't contain all the power of Photoshop, but it is far, far easier to use. No need to worry about confusing layers and such. And with a little creativity, I can mimic some effects found in Photoshop. I started using Photodraw in the early 2000s for my family's business, and then just a few years ago I found a copy selling on Ebay or Amazon and bought it for my own computer. This is one program which I wish Microsoft would have kept on developing.
