Work with layers tonight - how'd I do?

[limr]

Oh come ON, tell me this landscape doesn't just BEG for a gorn!!

(And yes, it's intentionally cheesy. I was inspired by the original )

 

[Rick50]

Looks real to me. I have played a bit with this in photo shop. Definitely can get involved.

Power Rangers?

 

[limr]

Power Rangers?

Dude, Star Trek!

 

[runnah]

Oh I saw that on mythbusters.

 

[bribrius]

well.....you are doing better than i am at it. i can say that much...

 

[limr]

Sometimes I forget just how low budget that original series was and how silly it looked.

And this is another reason I could never live in Arizona: I would see gorns everywhere and gorns are never NOT funny.

Add a little shadow and it'll be perfect.

I'm jealous - been working with PS for over 15 years and used all kinds of layers but I never had an image with a gorn layer.

Add a little shadow and it'll be perfect.

Gotta learn how to do that first!

Do gorns have shadows?

It's easy.

select, fill, rotate, flip, blur, fade and distort.

Oooh, good question. I think you need to watch that video I posted to figure it out

It's easy.

select, fill, rotate, flip, blur, fade and distort.

Tonight, I'll translate those instructions into Corel-speak and see what I can do. Because of course we want to make the gorn look more natural

But seriously - I did watch a video of someone using Photoshop and it took me 5-10 minutes just to figure out how to find the same tools in Corel because they are named differently and placed in different toolbars.

I am fluent in both languages. Although I prefer adobe speak.

I'm taking a PhotoShop class right now. Our instructor would have made us add a shadow to the Gorn, make the lighting hitting the Gorn reflect the lighting of the background picture, put the tree branch in front of the Gorn, blend the feet slightly in the soil and added William Shatner.

Vasquez Rocks, just a bit north of Los Angeles. Toss your Gorn in these images.
