A question Re. Peters Bike thread…..

[Martin Cole]

quote Glenn Sharp:

How is this done purely in Photoshop?

Ain’t got a clue Glenn 😀

Never really got into photoshop, have the odd dable occasionally. I’m to old to learn it now. 🙁 my son was teaching himself with online tutorials.

It’s Corel for me.

Probably 100 better ways to do it but this is how i go about it:

1 – open Peters original bike picture which will become the background
2 – open 2nd picture (compass) as another background >use the restore down tab so you can see both images > then drag & drop the 2nd image onto the bike, this will now make your 2nd image layer 1
3 – making sure layer 1 is selected re-size to suit> then erase any overlaping areas which are not wanted> after this I just adjusted the opacity to what I thought worked.
4 – repeated steps 2 & 3 with the mountains which then became layer 2

I’m crap at explaining things so hope this kinda makes sense 😕

i liked the compass idea, i see some potential.
permission to nick idea?

[Neil Speirs]

would be chuffed to see it used 🙂

[Glenn Sharp]

thanks chaps…

Cheers Neil……I’ll have a play with that method

[Andrew Bennett]

Thanks Neil, I too will have a play with your method and your idea 😀

[Andrew Bennett]

As I have Photoshoppe 7 I think I must have used a different route to you but here’s my effort.

I do see the compass as part of a dome in a dome job. If you catch me drift.
