reverse request

madammina · 04/16/08, 07:47 AM

I want to practice my photoshop, so I have an odd request. If someone can give me an image and very general directions I'll do what I can and you guys can critique it. I want to see what I can do, and if I need help, will you guys pitch in?

This is not a sig shop. In fact my first question is how to get specific sizes. I just want to give myself a few challenges, and I figure here is the best place to begin.

Alright, want me to give you a go?

madammina · 04/16/08, 08:41 AM

Yes Please! Just tell me what you want, and I'll see what I can do. And then you can tell me how to improve once I get it up.

Ok then, i'd like to see you do something with these : http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...4/Aqualook.jpg

And this: http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...AquaVenice.jpg

Now, I want this 485x165

Use the pictures as much as you can, try to get a flow going. Use the colours in them to an extent, but try adding some lighter colours(ie. orage, yellow) in conjunction with it

okay, first question. I managed to have one part open at your specification, but whenever I open the second picture, the first one disappears (and doesn't show up in the layer box) and the new picture is a new size. How do I get the second picture to layer on top of the first one at the size.

BTW, when I did my first ever photoshop thing I got images to layer, but they were much smaller. Now I have a grey background and I can't find my other stuff to layer or move onto the layer.

edit: Here are links to what I see.

okay, I got my thing. First off, I didn't quite get the colors to work, but I'll try again since I just figured out how to do it. This is my first try.

I think I used either a diffuse grain filter and I layered the non Ven picture over at a 41% Opacity I believer.

CNC?

Endless Reason · 04/17/08, 03:41 PM

Hmm... Well, it is a bit stretched lol, but ifit was shrunk down to the original soze... i'd say that ain't too bad for a first go.Good on ya!

madammina · 04/17/08, 03:49 PM

YAY!! Okay, any other tweakings or practicing you or anyone else want me to do?

Do you want me to try that one again? Just let me know!

Endless Reason · 04/17/08, 03:52 PM

Ok, i want exactly the same, but use the original picture size, ok? then e'll go from there

madammina · 04/17/08, 03:55 PM

Do you want the filter too? Or just the opacity?

Endless Reason · 04/17/08, 03:59 PM

Err... Filter? lol... bah, just the same as last time, hokay?

Hahaha, i has uber leet post amount lol... 1234!

madammina · 04/17/08, 04:02 PM

Here you go!

Endless Reason · 04/17/08, 04:04 PM

Hmm... well now i can see it... It is good looking... ok, reduce opacity in the back picture, or increase the front one, k?

madammina · 04/17/08, 04:07 PM

Opacity, 58%

Endless Reason · 04/17/08, 04:10 PM
