How I did it. Simple really.

This final photo from previous postings ended up like this:

His Majesty will see you now.

You will notice that this little Lego man--lets call him "Joe"--shows up in my daily photo every once in a while just to keep things light.  Anyway, this photo started out when I noticed the pillow on our sofa and its decorative trim.  Here is the location shot:

Then Joe found his way into the "tent" and I moved in close with the iPhone to take the picture that would ultimately be processed.  I took about 5 pictures and chose the best one for the next step.  The selected pre-processed picture looks like this:

From here I took opened the picture in Filterstorm, cropped it, then opened it in PhotoStudio and put in a vignette and the frame.

That is all it took for this finished product. Once I saw the pillow on the sofa, got the idea for the photo and completed the final edits only about 5 minutes of time had elapsed.  Oh yea, Joe is always close by too.
