1. Just make a collage with something like Picasa and let it do all the work for you.
2. The instruction video I used is called 'Best and Easiest 3D Globe from any picture' by Chuckie Delano, it's only about 12 minutes long which was good for my attention span!
Great fun, quite time consuming till you've followed the video a couple of times but by then it's starting to make sense and gets very much easier.
Works so well using your lovely sea theme. Especially like the middle image and the two either side. Thank you for the instructions - I am going to give it a go! You have done this so well. Fav
@robinm@johnsutton@peadar@featherstone26@megpicatilly@suzanne234 Thanks very much for such positive comments, so happy you liked it. I put the tip above about Picasa because I spent most of this morning selecting, resizing and positioning pictures when I could have just been having coffees and letting the computer get on with it. Hindsight is a wonderful thing!
Great globe! The work you did with the collage ( annoying as it was!) was probably worth the effort. The highlights in each photo and the positioning of them give it such a lift and make the overall result so much better. I tried one with the auto fill of the collage - no where near as good. I really like the pale shadow too. Beautiful result! Cheers
@gijsje@pyrrhula@hermann@robz@dawnee Glad you liked it, although I whinged about the time it took me, I had some serious fun with this one. Thanks v much for comments and favs,
oh, so clever.. love all the individual scenes and the overall theme too.. i also like the almost muted palette.
thank you for the instructions.. at some future time i will try it out..
@merrelyn I use Elements 11 which isn't very up to date but it was relatively easy to get used to in baby steps. It has the bones of Photoshop which is all I really needed. You'll like it, it has so many advantages over Picasa which I used previously.
thank you for the instructions.. at some future time i will try it out..
