Love the giant cat and the placement of the no trespassing sign! lol - great composites Lisa! I think for most of us being 'newbies' with doing this, they are pretty good! I like out of the normal way better, it's much more interesting (&fun to make)! :0 )
Rach,
Thanks! I wanted to and tried to make the background of the "Haunted House" photo some dark eerie color but the magic wand tool kept selecting the whole darn photo, instead of just the blue that I was selecting, and I finally got too frustrated and gave up. I will have to try again when I have some more time.
I also realized the my final photos were sized kind of small, not sure what I did, but the originals are on Flickr, because I am sure it is hard to see that in the "Graveyard" photo I have three tombstones floating in the air.
Yeah, this was definitely fun to try out, and experiment with. I just read the Layers demo that Karen posted on the discussion board, and had never thought of doing something like that with the sunset. Very cool!
Really great, fun and interesting! Good work, I really enjoy seeing peoples process, it's really fun, eh?!!! Nice work,...Thanks! Diana
A few things: first, I'm curious how you upload pictures to blogger; in most cases one can click on them for a larger view, but I couldn't do this on any of yours and I really wanted to see them larger. Second, I liked how you moved the 3 individuals leaning on the tree to the roof top; very clever. Third, I couldn't figure out how one of your cemetery shots was used, but this could be the result of seeing it so small. And I suppose lastly I was going to point out that I completely missed your explanation because the purple font color blended too closely with the black background, but highlighting it made it readable.
Cool compositions.
That's really strange that the magic wand was selecting the whole photo. Were you on the right layer? I think I've done that before and I was selecting an entire layer instead of the image. I also love the cat next to the no trespassing sign.
Jay,
A few weeks ago I had problems adding photos to my posts using the what blogger offers, and this could be because I use a Mac, not sure, but I figured out that if I loaded the photos to Flickr I can then drag them into my post(s). However, even though I did use Flickr agai n this week played around with resizing them so I wouldn't use up all my allocated space on Flickr, and as I posted in my reply to Rachelle. Which answers your question about the 3 tombstones. I was looking at this the other day and realized I should have made these bigger in the photo but since I put them in the background I could have made them only so much bigger to follow near and far : big and small rule.
Sorry I again about the font color. I could read it so I assumed it was viewable by all.
Diana,
Thanks! Yes, this was fun to try out and experiment with. I normally don't use Photoshop for this kind of stuff, except if I am trying to put open eyes from a person in one photo to the closed eyes of that same person in another photo. And this is because the closed eye photo is best out of the few shots I took of the group being photographed. I read somewhere that whatever the number of people are in a group being photographed that is the number of photos you should take, so if there are 8 people in the photo then 8 shoots should be taken. Sounds good in theory but can you imagine trying to convince these people that they have to pose for that many shoots
? I don't think it would go over well, and plus with digital these days it is easier to quickly see if you go t the shot, in most cases.
Leslie,
Wow, you know, not that you mention it, I am not sure what layer I tried doing this on. Good point! Thanks! I was so focused on using the tool itself that I didn't even notice. When I work on this week's photos I will have to try it again and see.
I showed this photo to my kids and we all had a good laugh. I laugh at it every time I look at because of my two cats this is the one that is the big baby and who would rollover so you can pat his tummy.
Lisa I think you are on the right track with just practicing with handy photos and keeping in the spirit of the season. My favorite time of year actually...between the colors and the pumpkins and the leaves blowing around. I mean after all what is "real" in Photoshop? You did an excellent job. To me one of the most frustrating things is resizing things before placing them over others to make things look correct perspective-wise.
