| View Full Version : The Beach, a Frame and Peacock Feathers raniday 02-09-2006, 08:14 AM Y'all are so creative at combining unrelated images, here are 3 more from Stock Xchange that I thought you might enjoy playing with, using one or any combination of the 3. Please give a few details of your process, 'cause we're all learning from each other :classic: Janet Petty 02-09-2006, 12:08 PM OK, I'm absolutely sure there are more creative interpretations out there than the one I've submitted. Collage isn't really my thing; although these three images were fun to work on. Janet Kraellin 02-09-2006, 12:37 PM cat, nice images. you're enjoying this arent you :) and janet, dont sell yourself short. i love what you did with that frame! craig raniday 02-10-2006, 08:09 AM Yeah, Craig, it seemed like a good idea at the time :) Beautiful, Ms. Janet. RL Design 02-10-2006, 01:03 PM Here are my steps (photoshop 7)... Put the feather image over beach layer and changed mode to saturation. Then masked in cloth of chairs and umbrella. Enhanced the color with levels. Mergered the layers to a new layer, blurred cloth (selected from previous mask), added noise and cross-hatch to cloth. Added frame layer and applied overlay mode. Masked off some of the distractions from this layer. There you have it! ENJOY lkroll 02-10-2006, 06:10 PM Another non-creative attempt. LOL garazon 02-10-2006, 07:33 PM well yes, :o) and in the case attached it seems overpriced! :lmao: Great images, but I just can't find my creativity either. second image lacks the sticker, skipc 02-10-2006, 10:17 PM Foolin around :eek: raniday 02-11-2006, 06:47 AM Aw, and I thought nobody was gonna give this one a try. :hurt: These are so creative.............. Garazon, maybe the frame was too obvious a choice, :ditsy: but you gave me a smile with your Dollar Store tag :) Nice painterly look to the beach scene. RL, all the elements are there, but they're so understated. Love it. Ikroll gorgeous framing idea! Skip, very unexpected, puts me in mind of a framed photo tossed onto fabric. Thanks, folks for giving this a go. I'll have to admit I haven't combined them yet, but here's a watercolor I did using just the beach scene. http://www.pbase.com/catbounds/image/55619072 lkroll 02-11-2006, 08:03 AM Aw, and I thought nobody was gonna give this one a try. :hurt: These are so creative..............

Swampy 02-12-2006, 02:56 PM Wonderful stuff folks... I recropped the beach scene and used the peacock feathers as a rug. :dizzy: Kraellin 02-12-2006, 03:48 PM garazon, love the 'dollar general' one! i've bought way too many of those in my time from there :) dee dee, very nice! love the subtle use of the feathers and the crop and the rotation of the frame :) craig OnAir 02-13-2006, 01:31 AM Peacock structure is used to modify a frame, restaurant - applied an old photo structure and note paper filter. raniday 02-13-2006, 07:34 AM Thanks very much, Ikroll & RL. Since I posted these, one would expect I'd have gotten around to doing a combo myself by now. So many toys, so little time! :) The longer I wait, the harder it will be because you guys are taking all the good ideas! :bigthmb: Swampy, cool idea for a rug. I'm imagining walking on it, gorgeous. OnAir, that has an aged atmosphere, really like looking into a bygone era. |
