My daughter is taking two photography classes right now (one digitial, one film); She is always trying out cool ideas for photos.

Care to fill us in? Was there any photoshopping involved?; March 14, 2007 5:16 PM
b13 said...: yes Rob :) occasionally I will throw an “enhanced” image up on my page. It is foto-GRAPHIC-a... Is it not?

I took a shot of myself holding a white piece of paper on a timer and tripod. Then, in photoshop, selected the paper and carefully clipped my fingers...saving the selection as a channel. I then duplicated the image and shrunk the new layer to fit the paper. You then take the inverse of the saved channel with a slight feather and delete the excess. Flatten and repeat. You double the image every time...1, 2, 4, 8, 16.

Thanks for taking the time to notice. :); March 14, 2007 8:20 PM
