Thank you for your lovely comments about my mushroom collage...I appreciate them.
Thanks to a wonderful tutoring session by fellow 365er, Jane Pittenger, I had an introduction to layers that fit what I was trying to do. I would never have figured this out from the videos or on my own reading so all credit goes to Jane who walked me through importing into layers and masking/cropping/brushing/moving which were key elements I had to learn to control. VERY excited to be posting this. Now the goal is to follow my notes to figure out how to do this again!
Off to Chicago tomorrow and no Internet til it gets set up Wednesday (assuming all goes well). Can't believe 'the move' is here...enjoy your week all!
Ooh I would like a lesson sometime too please. Fabulous sequence, all I need now is my hubby to do this in the Sand dunes too, well done. I heard today that a woman died from a snake bite in Perth yesterday in the sand dunes. Scary there have been too many snakes spotted this winter when they are supposed to be sleeping.
You really did a splendid job, Taffy, especially considering that it was your first time working in layers...which I would never have guessed looking at the result!
Round of applause for you, achieving all this via verbal tutoring. Great actions captures you had to work with too. Best wishes with the long awaited move.
Awesome job!!!! I don't have photoshop but am wondering if you could accomplish this by taking a photo of someone jumping like this, put the camera on burst, then take the photos and photo stitch them together? Think that might work? I've always wanted to get a photo like this and thought they were so cool! Excellent job you did here! FAV!
This is totally amazing, Taffy. I have no idea how you do things like this and have read some of what others talk about and you as well and so super confused. Nice to see the result. Hope your move back into your place went smoothly. FAV
@karlow75 I had a patient guide in Jane Pittenger -- she helped a ton, but the tutorials I'd done made it easier as I knew where a lot of the strokes and task tools were, just not the right order for using them. The Lynda.com ones are really useful.
