Something different? Post your working with textures shots here.

First concerted effort at doing textures using multiple layering/masking techniques. I had a very limited texture palette but am sort of hooked so will go shoot lots of them tomorrow....I had funn and I am sure my efforts are pretty sophomoric compared to the rest of you guys, but as with any learning curve, there are breaks in the guardrail. Lots of criticism and comments sought.

This is a beautiful photo Chris.The texture works really well with the photo in whole but the lighter grass at the bottom could probably use a layer mask on the darker spot which can be some what distracting.Other than that it looks really good.

i tried that the first time and it was too muted in the foreground..one thing just sort of melded into another..no deifinition, so I stayed with the natural flow which had a significantly brighter yellow in the foreground, muted those colors and dulled down the green enough to allow it to draw the eye more toward the barn...I will go back and have another looksee. Thanks for your comments.

Went back to it and applied a little more texture over that area, then painted out the other in a layer mask...it's always hard to know when to stop.



I would love an opinion as to which image has the most appeal from the viewers.

I'm really liking #2.It has a soft pastel like apperance that suits the image very well.It's fun to play every once in a while,keeps the mind from going stale...Ron

This has now become a work in progress.Antonio stated that the texture could have been stronger and i agree with him so i went back to work on it and i'm up to this point in it's transformation into something that will work.If there are any suggestions or other tecnnique's that i could use on this image feel free to give a shout.Thanks for viewing...Ron


i still have the 16 bit tiff file saved in psd so anything can be changed.Thanks again.

Here's the next incarnation of my work in progress which was not really a planned thing but some times they just happen.C&C are welcome.Thanks for viewing...Ron

In one form or another i would have to say yes.I used photoshop cs3 to do this image but any software that supports layers can probably do the images in this thread.Thanks for viewing Kevin.

Well... I like them both as it is a great image to start with. But, I thinkI like the first one a bit more. I like the more vibrant colors... cuz, I'm just a bubbly vibrant personality like that.

Excellent Ron Well done.

Very cool Kevin.I guess some camera's have a built in software to do the same thing.

[Antonio Correia]

Thanks Antonio.It's much better than the first version...Ron

I dare to sugest Ron: Try again with a smaller red area

Here's you a version with a slightly smaller red area Antonio.It dose give the apperance of the branches cradling the red orb much better.Thanks..Ron.

Excellent Ron
Have a good week-end

[ilovelucydog]

This is really nice, Ron. The colors compliment each other well... the vibrancy is great and textures just work... definitely a keeper.
