Today's photo is a silly bit of Photoshop play. I took a photo of this little guy's hole, where he's been taking all of the peanuts that he comes and gets from my hand when he climbs up on my lap. Using Photoshop, I played around with the blend mode, changing it to 'exclusion', to get all of these fun colours. I especially like the wonderful blue lines which are little tree roots. I then took a photo of the chipmunk and cut out the selection I wanted so that I could have it coming up out of the hole. I then added a layer of Kim Klassen's texture, kk_peacetexture, at softlight 100%, which brightened the whole thing up a bit.
Very nice. Hope i have the time to learn to use photoshop:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Joy. If you're not familiar with Kim Klassen, check out her site. She teaches some great classes that I have used to learn just about everything I know about using Photoshop.

DeleteI love this! In the thumbnail in the group it almost looked like the little squirrel was surrounded by a bouquet of flowers...well, it was a bouquet of color!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cindy. I do like the fun colours that resulted from the blend mode I used.
