The View

Got bored this afternoon, waiting on the rain, so I played (and learned) a little more in PS. Used mask/refine edge to cut the image out, changed the background, added overlay paper, combined color and B&W image using clipping mask, drop shadows, and adjustment layers. More involved then I first thought but it should go quicker next time.

Is anyone else hearing echoes of, "Get off my lawn you damn kids!"

Very nicely done!

Very cool! Well done.

Thanks guys. PS is starting to make more sense. I still find myself searching for things (especially short cut keys), but every little bit more that I learn, seems to rub off on other projects now.

I took a PS course at Adult School. It was very helpful. I need to take it again.

I definitely LIKE this shot! Fun. And yeah...."Hey you kids-get offa' my lawn, dangit!" pops to mind! LOL!

 

[Destin]

Cool concept! Nice work!

Kudos to your creativity!

I liked it conceptually.

Thanks all. I can't claim to much creativity as I got the idea from someone else, and filled in the blanks from there. To me the most important thing I learned, was how to effectively create "two" backgrounds (The paper and solid white) within the same image, and the way to split an image into both B&W and color. These alone already have the ideas flowing for the future.

PS- I definitely like what you did.

I missed this. I like it. Print it big for the wife and hang it in her favorite room.

@Fujidave, Thank you, it was a fun little project

@jcdeboever Thank you. Though I'm not sure about the "big" print for the wife, she might use it for target practice LOL
