    The September Free For All

    Re: The September Free?For?All Welles! The sky's from Vue, no? [shhh] Love the reflections! Folks, Welles' got the idea, although I really like lasa and nikkie's work! :righton: :righton: I forgot to say that you don't have to use my cow pic, nice as it is 8} Here's another example: "The...

    The September Free For All

    This forum's been a tad vacant for a while...hmm, either summer's the cause, or my challemges haven't been inspiring enough. Here's for September: integrating the synthetic with the real. Create something, or someone, in a modeling or a drawing app. Then use PS to integrate it with a photo. Use...

    Long live Bob Moog

    Yep, Wendy Carlos used a Moog synthesizer to interpret Ludwig's score. BTW, "Switched-On Bach" was Wendy's debut. The album's been digitized since its 1969 release, and it's one of four most important works of our era, IMFFHO. Sgt. Pepper's, Don Byron's bug Music, and Pink Floyd's Dark Side of...

    The Birthday Card Page

    Okay, I admit I primed the pump (I have no shame ;) ), but thanks to all anyhow for the greetings! Birthdays are the "other" special day (Christmas being the biggie); they're for the young and the not-so-young. Why don't we all post our birthdays on this page, so the rest of us can make...

    Long live Bob Moog

    Yeah In my haste, I typo-ed "Kurzweil", and "Theremin"--appy-polly-loggies, as they said in A Clockwork Orange, whose score was done by Moogist Wendy Carlos. I own a Kurzweil Stage Piano, but I still want to get a Minimoog; eBay usually has 'em used starting at $1,500 US...a little out of my...

    Long live Bob Moog

    Moog synthesizers were to pop music in the 60s what Photoshop is to imaging. everyone from the Beatles to Yes featured Moog music on hit albums. It was a keyboard staple, right on top of a Fender Rhodes or a Hammond B-3. One of my uncles who worked at IBM knew Bob, and I bought one in 1975...

    Phun with Photoshop

    Suburban Park Here's a collaborative effort. Maya sent me a pic of a Godzilla from her toy collection. The "jungle" is a Vue render, the couple fleeing is Poser, and the rest is photography. It took about 2 days in PS to compose. My Best, Gare

    The August Free For All

    Help! Mark! Still no-go on Sunday, Mark. I've tried everything with Firefox and IE--cleaning cache; the whole 9 yards. No images, no emoticons (I can live without them, tho'), and a brusque attention box-something to the effect that I have no permission. Hey, we live in a permissive society! -g-

    The August Free For All

    lasa Hi lasa--- Good tips, all of them :righton: Here's some nose help: I photographed a femal relative of Grandma Susie, making sure the lighting was flat and a little to the right. Then Grandma's son described her nose: flat toward the bridge and pointy a little at the tip. I used...

    Extract tool is bad ?

    The Extractor works better in Photoshop Elements than PS2, but it's been my experience that manually defining a path for the basis of selection work is unparalleled in quality. I've tried Knockout and Extensis' "extractor", and neither really impressed me for the price point. Here's a few...

    I'm back

    Multi-apps I find I need to use a half-dozen apps to create a simple idea. That's why Mark graciously allow me to host Application Convergence. Here's a personal piece I did. The splines were drawn in Xara and imported to Maya for lofting. After rendering, I used Photoshop to create the lamp...

    3D New here and i need some advice...

    Khronos Because you are experienced w/ Photoshop, I recommend that you investigate every modeling app you can before deciding on one which best fits your workflow, as PS can help along in the texturing arena, and 3D models can assist in PS compositions. C4D is great. There's also LightWave...

    The August Free For All

    Nikkie Nice job, Nikkie :righton: For all, I suggest: ? Grandma's hair is not parted in the middle (requires some work). ?Her head is on the squarish side--good to know for positioning the flipped duplicate. Nor are people's faces symmetrical, so warping or distorting the flipped copy is...

    The August Free For All

    Nice one! lasa--verry well done! :righton: I see you kept the sepiatone. I got rid of it and used burgundytone because my image is for printing, and hey, why not brighten up Grandmas Susie in the process of restoration? And I found the background just too hard a job to restore. Mark...

    Mark This forum is seriously muxed up. None of the other images on various threads show. No avatars either, although I don't miss 'em. I can see the images I posted here, but all text is centered (not flush left) on all threads. I'm using Exploder 6. -g-

    The August Free For All

    It's Photoshop time, this time with probably the hardest challenge I've a come up with to date! My wife's grandmother had a photo taken that did not survive the years; it was literally torn in half, half is missing, and there are no negs. What can you do to restore the image? Mirroring the...

    Maya fire Hi, Nikkie-- Yeah, Eye Candy's fx are great, but won't completely fool the viewer's eye. Alias has a personal learning edition that's free: http://www.alias.com/glb/eng/products-services/product_details.jsp?productId=1900003 and I found a wonderful fire tute at...

    Phun with Photoshop

    Fresh fro the oven I needed a typography example, so I came up with this. The damagewas real, but I added the flames using Maya PaintEffects, along w/ smoke. The cars were rendered in Vue (composited using PS), and there's tiny people inside: Poser. The trees are also fake>Digital...
