I had to try this.

In my meandering of the general gallery threads, I have come accross a few of these types of pictures, it looked kinda fun so I gave it a quick try. This one is not the greatest but alright for a first try.

That lovely lady in the picture is my mother about 25 some ought years ago.

You did a fine job with this...I have experimented with a couple, but never found anything quite cool enough for me to keep...i like the image you chose to do this with..

[MotorPsycho]

i got some idea of how it was done, gotta give it a try.

Thank you very much everyone.

Well I am not sure how other people do it, but what I did was put my camera on a tri-pod. set up what I wanted to take a picture of. Set all my controls to manual. Then take the picture. Next I opened the book. Took a picture with the same settings and that was it as far as picture taking went.

The rest is in photoshop. I just used the clone stamp tool and cloned the inside of the book overtop of the cover at a low opacity and that was that. Well I did mess around with some saturation and what not. And thats that. I hope that helps you out.

what brush did you use? mine turned out correctly but the edges of the brush is clearly visible any help? here is mine:

Do I at least have the technique down?

 

[bantor]

It seem about right to me. I would try a larger brush, with very soft edges. Also try and do it in as few strokes as possible.

Great shot, took me a little time to work it out, because it wasn't a car with an engine, but it's a cool effect and this is a great way (and probably unique) to use it!
