Though she had not started out disliking Isabella, she quickly saw in the girl things her own daughters did not poses. Among those things were grace, patience, kindness, and true elegance. So to not have her daughters out-shined, she made Isabella a servant in the house she had always known. Lady Tremaine was not entirely cruel. She let Isabella keep a few of her toys, some of her parents things, and two good dresses to keep up appearances when people needed to see her, the "other daughter".
Several years passed. Lady Tremaine and her daughters flourished while Isabella was kept in the shadows; serving them, doing house work, and anything else Lady Tremaine demanded. She came to be called and known as Cenerentola because più often than not she would fall asleep, exhausted, in front of the fireplace in the cucina after her long giorno of work. Cinders and ash smudged and coated her face, hair, gown, and hands.
Lady Tremaine was growing tired of the constant requests to see Cenerentola out in society with her and her daughters. When da chance she remembered that she had heard that there was need for servants in a castello far away but not too far, that belonged to her secondo husbands old friend. So her plan was quickly hatched. She threw a party for Cinderella, whom she claimed was called away to be a companion to a friend of the family. The people, suspecting nothing but finally glad that the girl would be away from Tremaine, were pleased and wished her well. Once the party was over and society placated. Lady Tremaine packed Cenerentola up and sent her off to an unknown castello and an unknown fate, to be servant to who knows whom. But Lady Tremaine did not care as long as the girl was out of her hair.
The journey took three days, only stopping twice a giorno to let the cavalli rest and be watered. Nights they rested also but resumed their course at the break of day. Cenerentola was left at the gate of a grand castello not knowing what waited for her on the other side.
"Belle, you've gone pink as your dress!"
Tea for a Princess and a Piglet!
"Make him think you don't love him!"
"I think you ought to talk to your father."
Here we go! Odette is a much softer gray with Eric, though not as desaturated as we'd like. Oh well, I'll show you how to cheat with that later.
A wild background appears! Click the 'layers' tab, select 'Add Layers', and open the background of your choice. Adjust it to the preferred size, then select 'Push Back', until the kissing couple is brought to the front. Save this picture to your computer.
Open Pixlr in another tab. I cannot stress enough the importance of keeping Fotoflexer open in case you need to adjust size. Click on open photo editor, and open your manip.
Here they are, cropped because I'm lazy, with a brand new background. This is when we touch up.
Here is your tool bar. I could go on for hours on how to use these tabs, but if you hover your mouse over them , it will tell you what they are. I like to blur the edges of my couple, perfect the coloring on their lips, and fix any bad hair issues.
Save the image once you are satisfied, and go to the homepage. You can shut down FotoFlexer at this point. Now, this part is only if you are dissatisfied with the coloring. Go to 'Vintage Affects'.
Upload your manip!
You should then see your picture in this quaint little set up. You can click the individual schemes scattered along the bottom to change the coloring, I went with 'Ramona', a person favorite of mine. Once you are satisfied, save the manip again.
Before Pixlr
