Blended Image Montage

[kevq]

After reading David Asch's book How To Cheat In Photoshop Elements6, I decide to try and create a blended image.
In this montage of Exbury Gardens; which is a five minute drive from our house, I used the two top photos to make the bottom image.
Hope you think it was worth the effort.
Kev.

Hi Kev
That is a lovely creation - you have given me inspiration for something I would like to try. :)

Hope you think it was worth the effort.


Your stuff is always worth the effort and an inspiration to the rest of us to get busy put some new idea to work.

A really beautiful collage/montage.

Very nice. I like the overlaps, it makes you almost think the framed images are going to rotate, slideshow-esque, at any moment.

Nice job.:)

That book has just a ton of "tips", plus, you have all those "tutorials" to try. Very helpful..highly recommended.

Kev,

Once more a beautiful montage. You've a gift for it. The blending is perfect.

I agree with you. This book is an excellent source. I used it before for my second stained glass project in which I mixed Wendy's tut with the one in this book. Now I need to go back and try the montage tutorial.

Thanks for sharing.

Good job, Kev. I had to really look at the picture to see the changes, they blended in so well. Looks like I may have to add another book to my collection as well.

And what a nice compliment, to have one of the authors comment on your image!

I was just telling someone today that I haven't been doing anything in Elements lately. (That darned new HDTV taking up all my time! Guess I need to get back to my "small screen".)
