| Over Bored ....om Technique Explained | February 17, 2010 @ 1:10pm |
First I made a duplicate of the background layer.
Next I opened the grid option and selected the first square at the top of the photograph, put a circle selection in it then I twirled the contents of the square three times in each square of the grid. I repeated this until all the squares in the grid had been twirled.
Next I made the grid squares smaller. Then I put a smaller circle selection in the cross lines of the grid and twirled three times on each selection until the whole image was done.
Next I put a circle selection and twirled three times on the spots that were not yet twirled.
I hope this makes sense. All I know is there was a whole lot of twirling going on. 
Then I got the pen tool, drew out the image I wanted, made a selection and put that on its own layer. I did that for every image I drew and put each one on its own layer.
Next I put a stroke around each image. Then I added a drop shadow.
Faded the background and selected the area that I wanted to be water and put that on its own layer. I faded the water more and added some ripple effect.
All of the images I had on their own layers I duplicated, flipped them vertically, added the same amount of ripple as the water and faded them.
The main objects I brightened a bit so they would stand out a little more.

| February 18, 2010 @ 10:10am | My gosh, Charlene, didn't you get dizzy with all that twirling? 
Anyway, thanks for the "how to's" - that must have taken all day! Very creative and impressive.
Would you like to give PS lessons?

I'm sorry for the late reply, I had a mishap playing with my dog so I'm in recovery mode. Dog is o.k. though.
Thank you all for your generous comments, you've made my day!! I'm glad you liked the results of all my twirling.
