After a month of designing my photo book and taking a week-long Lightroom course, I was ready to cut loose when I saw that 5+2 was doing an Alien theme. My first attempt to turn myself into a cat was a creepy disaster (!) but, why stop when I was just having fun?! It's said that cats are suspected Aliens, so here's the proof!
Now that I got that out of my system, I need to start packing a bit. Though the house remains unsold, we're going to begin clearing and taking items to the family members who asked for them. Bittersweet...
@radiogirl I worked all thin in PS...Used select subject for the cat's head, then Select & Mask to soften the edges. I ended up making the head bigger than my own so it looked more proportional. Add a "mask" to the cat and erase over where the scarf was and I had a patch of skin showing, so I covered that with cat fur, too! For the helmet, I found a brush with bubbles and copied just one that I could enlarge to help make my point! Ultimately, they're quite easy to do, and I've been a but obsessed with making a few others! I've also used this technique to have a single photo of Ken and me sitting together when we'd taken turns photographing one another at a particular spot. We had no tripod, but planned it out and it turns out well!
Great and funny processing.
I would love to try this.
