I took this on a houseboat trip I went on last week at Trinity. It was really grainy because I captured it off my video camera so I thought I would try to make it look like a painting. suggestions welcome I am kind of a n00b when it comes to p shop.

nice job though.

i think it expresses the emotion well through the pixilated artesque and the mood seems of a pleasnt one. Yes very splendid Rolling Eyes

(Art critic talking) Nice photoshop for bein a noobie. Its different than what most people do.

oh dont get me wrong im not saying there was any talent involved, just a few clicks here and there, I was just asking if anyone thought it looked cool.

The angle of the picture is cool, it sets it apart......the majority of wakeboard pics (amateur) are taken from the boat pulling the rider, at least the ones I have taken! Looks good.

I like that a lto.... but it does look kinda like fuzzy but then again you can tell it isn't ..... nice job

Then angle is cool. Like he said it's just a watecolor filter that comes with PS, but it's still cool.

Mr. Dave
Are you a graphic design major? Where are you going to school?

How do you overlap pictures like that in photoshop?

Buergday · Guest

It's tough to explain in words, but you basically create separate layers with each photo and then trim away at the backgrounds of your photos with either the eraser tool, the lasso or the magic wand. You'll need to learn about "opacity" levels and layer modes to do a really effective job. You're really just cutting-out the section of the photos that you want to see and then creating a collage. To get the faded-together look, you need to use a feathered edge on your brush or eraser. Then you just arrange them on the page, adjust their color output levels to blend nicely, apply any effects that you want to use, flatten the image (combines all layers into one) - and viola!
It takes a lot of practice to get good at. I've been at it for about 5 years. I took classes in college, but most of what I learned I picked up on my own just messing around or working on ads and posters and stuff for work. It's a very complex and versitile program. I use it for all kinds of stuff other than photo manipulation. Lately, I've been messing around with video animation, using a kind of "flip-book" aproach - small frame by frame adjustments, merged together in final cut pro or after effects. I create the artwork in photoshop and then import it to my editing program, frame by frame. It works great. With enough time and patience you can do some killer stuff.
