Digital Magic, 1.2

.

Week one, lesson 2.

Original:





Use "overlay" blending mode on one layer copy, and then use "screen" on another.





How to make and use a layer mask to show color just in one part of an image.





All of this layer blending stuff is JUST the sort of thing I'd hoped we'd learn -- I
have used it just an eensy teensy bit, and learning more about it is ... Excellent.

This is such a neat picture, I would have never thought to take a photo of such "things."
Hang in there.

Thanks. :-)

When I'm taking pics, I think of some of them as being attempts at "good pics," and some as being "just a recording of what was happening."

Sometimes the ones I think of as not going to be particularly interesting pics turn out to be more interesting than I'd thought.

I was looking for something that had the values and bright colors of Marie's clown, and saw these ketchup bottles and sweetener packs....

I like the way it looks, zipped up using Marie's directions.
