| Oooo - I like the idea Lisa!  I just did a montage for my husband's 40th birthday. Baby pics to now, including the few pics he keeps in "his" shoe box (meaning they're extra special to him.  ) He loved it! And I would love to do more!Jeanie |

| Dream Rose Chuck you beat everyone to it. Oh that girl its a great Idea. I had an 80th birthday to go to and needed an Idea so we had a music rose challange and I used the rose from there I made a dream type background with clouds added the birthday girls picture and blended and faded it into the clouds. Added text and thats four items and that should coun t as a montage. So here is my submission. |

| Just to clarify things. How about we first choose 4 images. What I think would be more interesting is have all of us work with the 4 images and see what we come up with. Doug used to do photo tag which is what Chuck is suggesting? I was more or less thinking that we have 3-4 images and then from there - do our own collages. So... backing up just a little. How about we upload some images first and then we can decide what 4 to use. Or - we use the first 4 that are uploaded and go from there. Attached is my submission.

| Challange montage Sounds good to me as well. We could submit a photo each or you can pick four from the challanges. BUt once you decide no fair changing the rules. Since you started it you say what you want to do. The problem you have more then four people on the forum. So pick four you know and have them submit pics. But first I alread did this as a joke. |

| I think Ron has a point. How about we start out with using the images from the mini challenges. When we get enough images donated we will use it for the next montage - deal? So, I was browsing the images from the mini challenge and think I have 4 that might be interesting. How about we use #46 English Ladies #44 Butterfly #15 Wally #31 Yellow Rose Let the games begin..... Lisa |

| Wow - that is awesome! You're right but I thought I would collect a bunch of images first and also get a consensus from others on how to choose. I'm just trying out the idea right now. The goal in the end is definetly to use our own images. Lisa |

| good girl.. hope it works out in a challenge thing... guess you know of your popularity here.... not just your amazing submission of the former modeling proofs... but you know... we are all with you. that said: I've always hoped for a bit more than the manipulation challenge along these lines... I know this is after all "retouch pro" but i do like to play with pix.... guess we all do... RonDon Last edited by rondon; 11-10-2002 at 12:54 AM. |

| Halloween's over, but sometimes in the early morning hours, on your long walk home from the pub, you may be fortunate enough to see something... Inverted layer added some of the coloration, Transform to rotate and skew the ladies. Pixie dust for the horse to make him fly, and the flutterby just hung on tight all by himself. |

| A Spring Day at the Downs Here is my submission base on "Oh That Girls " selections. I put all my pictures on my screen and saw an Engish race track and all these elements would be there. The women appear to be gazing so I had them gaze at the Rose and Butterfly as Walley won the race in the distance. I saved everything in PSD so I could move the elements anround on its Layer. I then scaled each to give the effect of different distances. Tools 1 - Extract 2- Eraser 3- Move tool 4 - Blur tool RE di picture, left something in I did not like. |

 IMPORTANT - Please Read! Wow... Talk about "Great minds think alike..." (well, maybe it's soggy brains that think alike since Lisa and I live where it rains a lot). If you haven't noticed yet I just created a "member initiated" mini-challenge forum to be used for just this sort of thing. LISA: This is a BRILLIANT idea and I greatly appreciate you taking the initiative to get it started. I encourage you (or anyone) to continue these sorts of efforts in the new forum. Well done. ~Danny~ |

| Frank. I can see how you can put the image on the ball but if nobody else saw it you have the images convexing exactly how they would do in a crystal ball. Very nice, they not only look right scale wise it looks like they are inside. Great Job. Lisa. Yours is awsome, you combined English with parchment and a little romantic.(or is it alott) great theme. So far all have themes.Wow! |

| [B]Frank. I can see how you can put the image on the ball but if nobody else saw it you have the images convexing exactly how they would do in a crystal ball. Very nice, they not only look right scale wise it looks like they are inside. Great Job. Thanks Phil, I am sure you know already, but in case there is one person out there who doesn't know... Simply put your montage together, bear in mind you do not want anything too near the edges as they will be deformed later when it is convexed! Make sure your picture is square (works much better) go to distort, spherize, 100%. You will see the circle formed, I then use the circular marque tool and plonk a circle exactly over the circle, select inverse and delete/cut the outside of your circle. It's then just a matter of cleaning up the image and apply some shading/shadow and plonk some "windows" on to give the sphere effect. Job done! I did one with some tall pine trees and they really take on a convex appearance. Probably takes longer to write this than do it.  Frank |

| Lisa, you're welcome! Lisa. Yeh, have a go, having just gone back and seen your work, this will be dead easy for you. So you cheated and took a photo of your crystal ball! Wish I had one, it would save me making one. As I said, if you choose tall things like trees, the effect is even more pronounced.C.J. Yup! A regular of about 10 days now. Just as I thought I was getting on top of it all, I have just seen another 3 fresh challenges! No peace for the wicked. Frank |
