The photo on the left is my daughter Sarah. I am practicing working with layers.
Each layer I added alloed me to manipulate a color or saturation. First I added white to her skin,
was the wild eyes, then her red lips and blood drops, then I changed her glass from white to blue.
I also adjusted the tint of the project in Picasa after I was done in GIMP.
The next photo is from the 4th of July fireworks. I added a floating layer that came from a photo
of my son in Afghanistan. The next layer left me blur the rough edges around my son and then the
final layer is the text. I really had a hard time with the text and am not sure how I finally
figured it out.:) I then played with the photo a bit more in Picasa, adding a blurred look to outer photo
which brough the focus more to my son than the fireworks.
I am definately going to keep playing with GIMP and Picasa.
The picture of your daughter came out awesome. It looks like you're really having fun with this. Have you sent your son that picture? I think he would love it. Of course, you probably will get a ton of requests from all of his buddies.
ReplyDeletekeep playing, I'd love to see some more.
Jackie,
ReplyDeleteI like both pictures. The one of your daughter
is really scary.... she looks like she could
be in the next Twilight movie.
Your son is a hero. The fireworks
exemplifies his courage. I will say a prayer
for him.

I really enjoyed the edit of your daughter! The tone of her eyes is perfect and the change in the glasses almost makes it look like she's under a blacklight :)
