I cut out my model and chose wings that I thought would look good. My wings had a black background so I set the layers to Lighten. I put a motion blur on one set of wings and then a surface blur on the other then put the wings under the layer of the model. I also put planets in the background to make it seem more fantasy like. After I finished the background I put a motion blur on it so it would not distract from the foreground. To make the snow I have 8 different layers of dots with a gaussian blur on them. Some of the dots also are different sizes within the larger dot. Lastly, I put two different textures in cyan and grey tones ontop of the picture.Cassandra Le Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12800620916664718223noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605907131589661569.post-43459935113625178612011-06-16T12:25:00.000-07:002011-06-16T12:25:43.995-07:00Final Project :(<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX8EQyhzgHhG81_KTJwey8q3IS6YTWC0SoXQQVNcsSaKHqzZ83_s6o50pKqKilRi453bZM1_bZ96XjVxcaxCAFlTB2WurCO_g4fvZNv2b6ti_8Fp0NVOHJSy5M7Ts26uDseTIPmjySBBI/s1600/fb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX8EQyhzgHhG81_KTJwey8q3IS6YTWC0SoXQQVNcsSaKHqzZ83_s6o50pKqKilRi453bZM1_bZ96XjVxcaxCAFlTB2WurCO_g4fvZNv2b6ti_8Fp0NVOHJSy5M7Ts26uDseTIPmjySBBI/s400/fb.jpg" t8="true" width="400" /></a></div>I incorperated the tutorial that you did with the angle guy with my snow idea.

It does not look nearly as cool as the origional picture I looked at. I had some bumps along the way that made this quite time consuming. My photoshop will not select the little squares unless you move it with the arrow over one. I know this is odd huh? Also when I went to use my square to fill in the spaces when I selected the square it would use the origional so I was copying and pasting them. Due to coping and pasting each one it put it on its own layer. Which was fine when it came to layering them on top of eachother but when doing the multiply step it was aweful! Any suggestions to over come those problems and or make my second project for this week cooler?Cassandra Le Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12800620916664718223noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605907131589661569.post-60298882301419854812011-06-05T20:05:00.000-07:002011-06-05T20:05:02.552-07:00Next weekI would like to do:<br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">To do this image I followed instructions from this site </span><a href="http://www.tutorialized.com/view/tutorial/Surreal-Photo-Manipulation/67407"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">http://www.tutorialized.com/view/tutorial/Surreal-Photo-Manipulation/67407</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I will touch on some of the problems that I found the tutorial did not touch on very clearly. First off, if you do not have CS5 then you cannot do puppet warp. Under edit transform the regular warp does just as well I think though. The most problems I had was cutting off the head and using the elliptical tool and filling it with a gradient to make it look kind of natural. I found out that to remove the head is just doing a simple mask to erase it. Then in order to fill the elliptical tool the circle you make must be already on the skin itself and not on the background otherwise filling it will not work. You can move the gradient circle around to find where you like it afterwards. Another thing that I found difficult and just took some playing around to figure it out was using the perspective tool to make the shadow. </span></div>Cassandra Le Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12800620916664718223noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605907131589661569.post-23303240106493558362011-06-03T13:12:00.000-07:002011-06-03T13:12:59.066-07:00help!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFr5ZCdFtq08PpMVuWqcDRjm-lzhCQT6QUD_nwMlUaOcamqhB0-i64zyWsZLb1MNsvLal4xTCQlpwwSNa1Phpn8DgBvnp3_zH9XKS6fPCgLPcKAIODur1Jq9AsH2qaQQhfhBgU93l1Ye4/s1600/nude+surrealist.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFr5ZCdFtq08PpMVuWqcDRjm-lzhCQT6QUD_nwMlUaOcamqhB0-i64zyWsZLb1MNsvLal4xTCQlpwwSNa1Phpn8DgBvnp3_zH9XKS6fPCgLPcKAIODur1Jq9AsH2qaQQhfhBgU93l1Ye4/s320/nude+surrealist.jpg" t8="true" width="239" /></a></div>I figured out the warp but I still am not able to figure out filling the head part.

I found this ocean landscape from when I went to Corpus this past winter. It is kind of boring and plain by itself so I figure it would be perfect to add different elements to make it a piece of art. I decided to put a vignette around the corners to keep the attention to the center and cleaned up the beach of unwanted items dirtying it up. Next, I found from my collection of where I took a picture of the sun so I thought it would be a cool element to put in the sky. I just copied and pasted it into the sky and picked lighten as the blending mode to use since it didn’t mess with the sky. I wanted something on the beach so I looked up footprints in the sand on google and picked the one that I liked. It took me a few different tries to figure out how to make the sands blend in where it looks natural. I finally found out that if I put it on darken for the blending mode it made it pretty close look like it was natural but then to make it perfect you have to play with the levels. Next, I went to the picture that I made earlier in the week and dragged the little girl in that picture to this picture. I wanted here to seem like she was fading so I chose darker color for the blending mode and took the opacity down to 65. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkI57Hik32AmlQ7zrrxN4zWpKHdguVedXL2vjgSFZTQ-h9uwuWDzyBBiuyGQ8pECRiL0VchYiI5aopqnV2aTGBRqJ6uFCmyk-GVW0oHZchSTuKLcrHqUIDFTVVTsz4p6TtQHBcFkM7qgE/s1600/girl%252Cprints%252Csun.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkI57Hik32AmlQ7zrrxN4zWpKHdguVedXL2vjgSFZTQ-h9uwuWDzyBBiuyGQ8pECRiL0VchYiI5aopqnV2aTGBRqJ6uFCmyk-GVW0oHZchSTuKLcrHqUIDFTVVTsz4p6TtQHBcFkM7qgE/s320/girl%252Cprints%252Csun.jpg" t8="true" width="320" /></a></div><br />

I also put a rust texture on the top of it.

I started off with just a simple background of trees with a misty look that I thought would be a good starting place. </span><br />

My first couple of tries did not work well and the pictures just did not seem to fit. I finally found a house that seems to look natural and put the blending mode to multiply. I also put a vignette and burned down the picture to make it seem darker. I also looked through my photographs with children and picked one that had movement to it. I had to scale down the child though because she was bigger than the house when I copied and pasted it in. I also used the multiply blending mode and adjusted the level of the picture of the small child. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMRBO1VwRxm4n0LIRAMrWaFN1EYzP9nYD6s4W77gsVgsVte2dY-DdtQUTiZIYxTekbTo-7cTRlmGu8TRMZPXp_QfkojXnAc-dIbYGv5uDeWcQLflxB6M4btAR9JtKEPE0ygdBXC9RsqKk/s1600/house%252Ctree%252Ckid.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMRBO1VwRxm4n0LIRAMrWaFN1EYzP9nYD6s4W77gsVgsVte2dY-DdtQUTiZIYxTekbTo-7cTRlmGu8TRMZPXp_QfkojXnAc-dIbYGv5uDeWcQLflxB6M4btAR9JtKEPE0ygdBXC9RsqKk/s320/house%252Ctree%252Ckid.jpg" t8="true" width="320" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">These are the three cloud pictures that I picked out to use. The first cloud picture that I used was the third picture. I opened it in photoshop flipped the image and adjusted the levels so that most of the blues would become black in order to make the blending easier. After I adjust the levels I copied and pasted it into the image I had been working on and put the blending mode to screen with the opacity set to 11. I did not like how the clouds were falling so I scaled the cloud image and moved it around till I found what I was looking for. Next, I used the cloud image that is in the middle and copied and pasted it straight into the picture without changing anything with the original image. I put the blending mode to multiply with this image and took down the opacity to 75. I then went back to the last cloud image and copied and pasted it again into the picture but this time with the blending mode to multiply to give a luminosity look to the right corner of the sky. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lastly, I took the very first cloud image adjusted the levels and used the screen mode again.

I chose a high key background because it makes it easier to select my model so that I can put a textured background. I learned from last time if you have multiple layers to start off it does not work so I merged all my existing layers from retouching so there was just one layer to start with. Then I looked up textures in google images and chose one that I thought looked cool and grabbed my attention. I opened the texture in photoshop and selected the whole picture and pasted it into the picture that I had been working on. I had to scale the concrete image so that it would be close to the same size as my original picture. I then made the concrete layer the very first layer so that it comes before the picture with the colored design on it. I turned off all the shapes and the concrete so I can see just my model. I double clicked her picture so that it says layer 0 instead of background. Then I duplicated layer 0 so I can select my model with the magic wand. Once I have selected the picture I went to select then invert. Then under edit I selected fill and filled what was once my model with white since the background is black. The image is now a black background with a white silhouette. While still on that layer you need to select all and copy it then turn off the layer so it does not appear. Next, you should click on the copy of the layer 0 and drag it down to the mask button at the bottom of the layers panel. You should get a white box that appears right next to the actual image of copy layer 0. If you hold down the alt key while clicking the white mask box that you just created then it will appear and then you can paste what you copied to create your mask. Make sure that the mask is selected when going to edit, adjustments and then to invert. The new textured background will appear around the model. I then adjusted layers, brightness, contrast, exposure to both the image now as a whole and the background itself. I wanted to see what it would look like if I took the background and layered it over the picture again. I really liked the look and this way I was able to adjust the opacity over my model and still having it strong in the background! After that I made a new layer at the top and filled it with 50% grey. Then I went to the filter gallery and played around with putting more textures on top of the texture I had just added. I picked Texturizer and made it the feel of canvas and put the lighting to the Right since that were my lighting for the original photograph was directed. I then decided to look up a shattered glass affect to layer into my background. To add it I just did the same exact thing with all the other textured looks from google images and put a bit of a Gaussian blue to the layer. I also added a water ripple at the bottom right of my picture. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Calibri", "sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">How constructed my final image: First I chose one of my images off of my hard drive and made sure that it had been retouched and then converted in black and white in Photoshop. Below was the image I choose off my hard drive before I put the circles and the textures on the photograph.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlQY3aGNUqDVVaM1HKYx5FpuWjsAkkwRFYul1o9TRS4zdwzoRLftVlHHZ0FdBIXsaWtQJECG84J7FBG6E2eOFa3KS_4bjSe8Zo9alQvLZM9Cl9JNTFkbKmNqUajEE4PdGnM4iSAtdf1c8/s1600/IMG_5428.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlQY3aGNUqDVVaM1HKYx5FpuWjsAkkwRFYul1o9TRS4zdwzoRLftVlHHZ0FdBIXsaWtQJECG84J7FBG6E2eOFa3KS_4bjSe8Zo9alQvLZM9Cl9JNTFkbKmNqUajEE4PdGnM4iSAtdf1c8/s320/IMG_5428.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri", "sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">From there I chose the shapes tool which is located towards the bottom on the left hand side. If you right click the icon you can choose different shapes that you can work with. Most of what I used was the custom shapes tool which allows you to choose from a wide variety of different shapes. Make sure you have shapes layers and create a new shape layer clicked at the top of your settings. I found that after you created a shape if you did not click new shape layer again that the next shape was on the same layer. To make the shapes symmetrical you have to hold down shift when you drag the image out. I made all my shapes white first and then clicked each layer and changed the color. After I choose all my shapes colors if you go to your layers on the right hand side you can play with the blending modes to made the shapes blend in with the pictures. I used both the screen and multiply blending modes and changed some of the opacity levels to make the picture flow better. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Below is what my picture looked like with the layer of shapes.<span style="font-family: "Calibri", "sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After I was done I put all the shape layers into a group so it would not be so messy.</span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOot7Vof9VbZyVQb_nga6FivgdnNiizOxWKEsrgOOXePTr28Pt3BVTOXrKEQmeDWsMiFzUoaHgVkyF9Z1TcwVHDeCuwggHbu7_NHvaXtGbyGt1pQkqE8_fYaY-tfsOmAAHubJHCdwRLr8/s1600/sized.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOot7Vof9VbZyVQb_nga6FivgdnNiizOxWKEsrgOOXePTr28Pt3BVTOXrKEQmeDWsMiFzUoaHgVkyF9Z1TcwVHDeCuwggHbu7_NHvaXtGbyGt1pQkqE8_fYaY-tfsOmAAHubJHCdwRLr8/s320/sized.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: "Calibri", "sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">I then wanted to see if I liked my image better with the textures Professor Babcock showed me. I chose a concrete texture off of the internet to use as my background. I opened the concrete in photoshop and selected the whole picture and pasted it into the picture that I had been working on. I had to scale the concrete image so that it would be close to the same size as my original picture. I then made the concrete layer the very first layer so that it comes before the picture with the colored design on it. I turned off all the shapes and the concrete so I can see just my model. I double clicked her picture so that it says layer 0 instead of background. Then I duplicated layer 0 so I can select my model with the magic wand. Once I have selected the picture I went to select then invert. Then under edit I selected fill and filled what was once my model with white since the background is black. The image is now a black background with a white silhouette. While still on that layer you need to select all and copy it then turn off the layer so it does not appear. Next, you should click on the copy of the layer 0 and drag it down to the mask button at the bottom of the layers panel. You should get a white box that appears right next to the actual image of copy layer 0. If you hold down the alt key while clicking the white mask box that you just created then it will appear and then you can paste what you copied to create your mask. This is where for me it got tricky and I am not totally sure how I got the concrete to show up in background. You are supposed to be able to hold down the alt key while clicking the new mask that you just made to see the concrete but instead I kept getting the white silhouette. I think though after I had deleted my other layers of the background is when I finally got the new background to show up. Since I had deleted all my previous background layers I had to do an adjustment to make my model black and white again. I played around with the adjustments and adjusted the levels, contrast and brightness of both the image as a whole and just the background by selecting the different layers. Lastly I made a new layer and filled it with 50% grey then I went under the filter gallery and selected film grain. I bumped up the grain and made sure it was applied to the whole photograph. I did not want my model to be so grainy so on that layer that I had just made I put a slight Gaussian blur on that layer. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0L9z17hUfcMsegmJbuRQfbX6m0-VjYQGu_vJ4eCE6wvlDD8c4nH2q99cfPxoFC6R1FE2Iw6qWXzp2OsjLR4nc2OqB9ITGnaO4cX3ZhcZzPMVcwBH_HQcfYWGmFD337Bg96VsNyDizZKs/s1600/final+textured+and+sized.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0L9z17hUfcMsegmJbuRQfbX6m0-VjYQGu_vJ4eCE6wvlDD8c4nH2q99cfPxoFC6R1FE2Iw6qWXzp2OsjLR4nc2OqB9ITGnaO4cX3ZhcZzPMVcwBH_HQcfYWGmFD337Bg96VsNyDizZKs/s320/final+textured+and+sized.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><br />
