Pulled Pixel Tutorial

I tried a "Pulled Pixel" tutorial I found in Adobe Studio Exchange. It was easy and fun and results in a really unique background. Go to Adobe Studio Exchange and search on "AMR Pixel Pulling" to find it. I used it on a photo I took of one of my sunflower bouquets.

Diana, what a neat idea! And so quick and easy I had to try it out.
Great idea for simple backgrounds! (or blankets maybe)

LOL--does kind of look like a blanket, doesn't it. Great job on the background!

Oh, this is fun, Diana! Here's mine. I did a shear effect and a motion blur on the background after "pulling" it, just for fun.

Thumbs up

Linda--That's a new twist on it I wouldn't have thought of. They say two (or many) heads are better than one! Thanks.

Took me a while to figure out that you need to use the rectangular marquee tool and set it to fixed aspect ratio at 1 pixel by several hundred.

Kept looking for the column marquee that doesn't exist in PSE3 or 4 that I can find.

Once you've done this, play with distortion filters... here's a garbage image... Lot's of options...

Hi,
Couldn't get it to work until I read Brice's post about fixed aspect selection.
Here is my attempt, so easy and so effective.
