Stephan 0 Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 This Shape3D plugin makes us lazy! Normally, it'd be an accomplishment if you'd be able to create a nice orb. Now, it's plain simple. I like being lazy. Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy Man Dan 19 Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Sure, Shape3D makes it easier, but then the challenge becomes scene composition.

cjmcguinness 4 Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 By the way, nice smooth edges on your cutout. Did you use an Alpha Mask for that? No, never quite got the hang of using the Alpha Mask. I simply cutout the image and feather. Perhaps I should practise using the Alpha Mask more often; might produce some even better results. cjmcguinness, NICE job with the Portrait plugin! Glad someone is getting some use out of it. Both your Portrait and Feather plugins are indespensible for photo manipulation. Just got a new digital camera and I am producing some fantastic results using both of them.

surgency 0 Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 alright. i made two images using relatively the same method. actually the story goes that my friend and i were having a competition: who could create a cooler image. i was trying to prove that PdN was just as good as photoshop because he used ps and i use PdN. So, he created something like the two i will post and then i lost because mine was worse. i decided to try to make something like his and he gave me a hint so here are my results (yes, i like the top one more too, but it took twice as long to make and it had 32 layers most of which i combined to get an effect): 1. 2. if anyone wants me to, i can create a tut on how to make something like the lower one.

barkbark00 3 Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 I figured I would try making an orb without the Shape3D plugin... I'm not sure everyone noticed that...:? Â Take responsibility for your own intelligence. -Rick Brewster Link to post Share on other sites

Wow, that's a surprisingly good result for a feather! I'm sure the Portrait effect helped here. It also includes a very soft blurring effect (softer than gaussian blur) as part of its image manipulation.

cjmcguinness 4 Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 2. Framing Composition: Follow the Rule of Thirds to keep an interesting composition. This image was well-framed to begin with, so that's a plus. In the case the the image with which you're working is not, you may have to crop creatively or isolate and move the subject and replace the background. In relation to the compositional Rule of Thirds, I actually published a tutorial on that very subject in this forum a while back (went pretty much unnoticed). So, for anyone who's interested in aesthetic photo composition, as well as checking out the wikipedia entry, take a look at this tut - Cropping Photographs - The Rule of Thirds Link to post Share on other sites

trooper 0 Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Playing around with abstractions again and came up with this image: It's along the fractal lines again, but this one seems a bit more "3-D" to me and a lot less chaotic due to fewer colors. Link to post Share on other sites
FireFly 0 Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 ^^Huh? I think you mean artists.. Well I'll try and answer your question.
