I constructed a light box to enable me to take photos with no distracting background. It's something I've been wanting to do for myself for quite some time.
I keep this old coffee can on a bookshelf in my studio - the addition of silk flowers and greenery adds a bit of whimsy, don't you think?

A ripple filter was added to the texture layer. This layer was duplicated and a layer mask applied.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful work!
ReplyDeleteI used a graphic program called Paint Shop Pro and in that program I have different plugins(effects). On my photo I used a plugin Flaming Pear - Flood. Flood makes the water(waves)there are many ways to make the waves. Well...That's it :)

The lightbox worked exceptionally well; very nice to have the white background that then showcases your texture choice. Lovely processing and a wonderful image. Thanks for sharing. Karen (visiting from PAF)

A light box is a fantastic idea, and I LOVE that I could mouseover and see the original. I must have done that twenty times.
ReplyDeleteNice picture and you have done nice work with this.
ReplyDeleteHow interesting and different the two versions are. The lightbox looks like it achieved the effect you wanted. I also like it with Bonnie's texture. Great work, Pat.
