Title: Does anyone have a need for this tutorial?
Post by: rjmiz on March 09, 2008, 13:37

As some of you know, I post tutorials here in this forum occasionally.
When I do, I usually pick tutorials the would generally serve all of us "Stockies".
Of course the idea is usually to introduce new comers some new ideas.

Well I recently developed a new technique that is rather simple, but I'm not
sure if it would serve your portfolios well. The technique is rather along
the  concept type imagery. (Rather selective) Its quite dynamic and unusual which
is why I'm not sure anyone would be interested.

Below I have posted three images of a whole series I am presently working on.

If you  think you could use this tutorial, please indicate so here. If it appears people on this forum
can use it I will make one.

Aww, you broke it!
I am not sure I would use the whole tutorial, but I often find that parts of your tutorials are useful in themselves. I would like to watch it anyway.  :)

Edit, I just thought of a great use for it. Yes please!

Title: I have a need for compositing tutorial
Post by: ljupco on March 09, 2008, 14:03

Namely, I'm trying to do a composite of two images (a flower and blue sky) and I'm having great difficulties in trying to blend them seamlessly even though I have the flower perfectly isolated against white background. No matter what I do I still get some white on the flower in the defocused areas.

I have tried different techniques but I still get unconvincing results

Anyway I'd be really interested in such a tutorial.I can enclose the pics if that helps.

Thanks in advance and regards from Macedonia, Ljupco

I've actually tried to make an object coming through broken glass in the past and gave up... I could still use it  ;) if you ever do a tutorial on this subject, please make sure you put a link to it!

Sure I would like to know how to do things like that. For now I only do "to be continued" pictures, but having the skills to do much more would be great

I actually never tried that before but I did do something similiar today.
I really dont have it perfected yet but here's a sneak preview.

I suppose if I tried I could substitute the bullseye for a glass sheet
If I do this tutorial you'll get a better handle on how to approach this challenge.
