Very well written and explained Sir. This is bookmarked for later. Thanks for sharing
-
Cheers Skullbonz. It has already had the Welshblue seal of approval.(I e-mailed it to him) I have had it on my hard drive for almost a month before I decided to upload it today
-
Cheers Sasha, I'm pleased with the photo-manip, I don't really do many of them, but pleased that you like it. The sig is my attempt at emulating the King on here
And with that in mind - A perfect opportunity to post on page #1 a gun barrel that was made by a tut that Welshblue did for me.

Mercy filling station is very impressive, great detail and textures almost like a real photograph. Top work.

This thread is for posting your entries only.
If you want to talk about any of the entries, you can do so in the discussion thread found here.. -
I'm sure the up / down & enter method would be better than hitting the wrong effect
I use that method all the time because I have a massive amount of plug ins in some of the sub categories. That is the only work around I know of. -
There is a way - Open the effects menu and position your cursor on the sub menu so it opens the list of plug ins in there, then use your up down arrows on your keyboard to select the effect you want, then press enter on your keyboard
Edit - When I say sub menu I mean something like Effects > Photo or Effects > Object etc...

@ Welshblue - Cheers mate, I'm pretty pleased with the end result of the photo manip.I have changed the sig slightly to add a little more shape to it. For the matal effect I used a gradient on a negation layer for each part and then colour balance to make some parts golden. I did play with blend modes on the overlap part, I think it looks better now.@ Daniels - Cheers sir, got to admit I either use too little drop shadow or I go for overkill - I'm sure there is a happy balance, I just can't find it
@ Helen, Inspiration from one of the best is always a good thing Thanks for your comment.@dug - Many thanks for the visit and comment too, glad you like them.@ Barbieq - Thank you, it took me a long time to make, but the result is worth it (I think)Modified the sig slightly to make it less tube like.

Thank you Barbieq, If a rat darted out I would be right up that ladder
I am pleased with the overall ambience of the finished product though.Thanks Helen. It was one of those kind of views that begged to be captured. I only thought of adding the barrels after looking at the one doughty made.
New one on page #1 while I am here again

Alley behind a restaurant is top work Skullbonz, the little details such as the cigarette ends, paper cup, receipt, sign on the wall, the detail on the barrel and the textures make it work perfect. Brilliant work and worth a galleria nomination.
-
The entry deadline has arrived and it’s now time to cast your votes. This week we have eight entries, you may pick four to vote on.
The poll will close on Sunday 11 August at 9PM (UK time) to see how that equates to other countries, here is a link to the World Time

Cool
Another new toy to play with. Cheers TR.

Great image Welshblue, very good use of metalize mate, I would never think of using it in that way.
Thanks for the blend mode tip too mate, I have added a multiply blend on the image in my gallery, works a lot better, nice one.
-
Thanks @ Sasha & Helen - It was an easy to follow tute and giving up great results too, glad you like
@ Skullbonz - Credit goes to you for the tute in the first place, top one.
I will go with the idea that the 'barrel' is 'small' in that image
The real reason was I couldn't be bothered to go back out side and take another picture of one of my walls from further back -
Dead Quiet is really cool. I get a feeling of bliss looking at that image. Brilliant work.

Thanks Doughty. I thought the original image looked a little too clean for a building in the process of getting demolished. I think the plugins that I used added just the right amount of grime and dirt
-
Modified. Original.
Completely inspired by Doughty's post. I duplicated the original image, used laplacian pyramid filter on it then on the upper image used TR's Line tracer plugin and set the layer to overlay and opacity on 70. Added the barrels from Skullbonz tut finished it off with a ladder, text and a little red paint on the nearest barrel.
Thanks for the inspiration. Cool image Welshblue, top work indeed mate
