I like how the bigger pictures look too. I tried sizing them down, but they
didn't look right. I try to make the most exiting parts of the story in
"widescreen" mode.

Yes, I use Photoshop for all my picture editing. The fire was really the
first thing that I've actually DRAWN in Photoshop, everything else has been
just manipulating photos. The flag burning took a while, playing around
with different commands and effects. I finally got it to look decent after
using such tools as: Smudge command, for making the fire wavy; Airbrush,
for the smoke; Brush, for painting in the fire color; and the Rubber Stamp
tool (It's kinda hard to explain this tool. If you want a longer
explanation, just ask me.)

I used Photoshop for the last picture, too. Since I've had my digital
camera, I've been looking for things that would make good backgrounds (sky
pictures, mountains, etc.) For the last picture in Part 4, I first took a
picture of the castle on a white background. In photoshop, I selected
everything that wasn't white and dragged it onto a picture of hills. Before
I put the castle on the hills, I selected the hills and placed them on a
picture of a sunset. I then put the castle on top of the background, made
some tweaks to it, and I was done.

Don't worry, I got plenty more where that came from!
