Cassel Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 The Campus is the perfect place to learn more about photo editing, various techniques, or PSP in general. This challenge will give you an opportunity to practice some of those techniques or use some tools. This time, the Tut/Tech Challenge will be to create a lifted photo effect. It could be one corner or more than one. Show us how you can tweak shadows to give the impression of a lifted corner. Check out the tutorial on the blog. Show us what you learned.

It's snowing here, once I did what I needed to do outside, I decided to participate in this challenge. I have included lifting all four corners in this layout. I lifted the lily out of the photo in order to frame it. I then lifted the top left corner of that photo, and the top right corner of the rose photo. Carole's corner punch, overlay of leaves on the punched out layer. I also made sure I had some shadow on the lily frame, of the lifted petal. My own wordart quote.

Jannette Nieuwboer Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 The one on the right Is surrealistic @Sue. Sorry that you can't see the bumblebee well. It was white here too but not from snow but from fog. As the sun came through the fog was easily gone. Not it's windy and rainy. ?Glad that I'm inside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is so kind of you Jannette, many thanks. Yes, the tri coloured bumble wasn't intended to be the star of the photo, but the flower. It just happened that the bumble came along in the Knick of time to be showcased too. That's the problem with sizing down from a very large file to 600 pixels. The image becomes very degraded. In 6 weeks I will be going home to fog, cold and rain. I really don't miss the British weather. Summer has gone, it has been replaced by Winter, with a week or so of Autumnal weather. Hard to believe a week last Thursday I was in shorts and T shirt cycling trails, and then kayaked last Sunday in glorious weather. The snow arrived on Wednesday. Woke to -10c this morning and more snow. I wish I could grow a nice thick winter coat like my horses do.

Jannette Nieuwboer Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) I made this pic myself in my backyard. On a sunny autumn afternoon, I found this may be a lost bumblebee on a leave resting. Or what insect it might be. I made this project in PSP 2018. For the background, I used the plugin RENDER. 2 colors green out of my photo. The decorative edge is from a mask, SN frame 10. The same 2 colors green. I gave it an orange highlight from the plugin Eye Candy 5 - Impact - gradient glow and a bevel. I've been thrown out. PSP closed due to the many times I tried.

The colours of green, gives a refreshing, calming feel to the layout. By looking at a green colour it will help levitate a headache. A green room is even better. Your bee is defiantly a bumble, possibly a consobrinus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Magerka Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 I like this technique, but every time I follow the instructions in the handout from the tutorial, I have to fiddle around and do things differently to make it work. Eventually I get it and then it works. This one is using a photo of a woman I know who celebrated her 100th birthday last year. I made a layout for her, but not this one. She's still going strong! The text 100 years has an outer glow applied. The rest is just elements I have in my files. 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corrie Kinkel Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 I took some time out from the scripting curse to make this layout. The mushrooms are growing a plenty at the moment thanks to the still mild temperatures and lots of rain. Although I live in a village the mushrooms are on every piece of grass around the trees. One day there is nothing to be seen and the next it's full of lovely, nice and crisp new ones. I had a photo of autumn leaves and used it as a background with a big blur and some blendmodes. I made a co palette from that photo and all the colors are from it. The plaid is made using the script cass-plaid 3 and the big brown leave in the righthand corner is done with cass-embroidered patch. I have one corner lifted out of the frame and I have always a problem doing this kind of things, because my hands are not stable enough anymore, but in the end I got something acceptable. Al the other leaves come from my stash and again with blendmodes to tone them down. Fonts are Madelyn Calligraphy, Bavire and Leaves Baby for the leaf dingbats + Arial. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely, it gives instantly a feeling of summer, which I can use because as Jannette already said we have autumn weather which over here means, rain, wind and fog but the temperatures are still rather mild for this time of the year. It's a pity that with this compression the leaves on the background are almost invisible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, I too had to look what ineffable means and I'm lost for words with all the praise I got for this layout. For me it just started with the photo I took last Saturday and from there it has grown. I have said it before, besides all the scrap related things I'm expanding my knowledge of the English/American language too, so thanks to everyone who helps do that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doska St. Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 On 10/30/2023 at 11:18 PM, Corrie Kinkel said: Ich habe mir eine Auszeit vom Drehbuch- Fluch genommen, um dieses Layout zu machen. Die Pilze wachsen im Moment dank der noch milden Temperaturen und viel Regen. Obwohl ich in einem Dorf wohne, sind die Pilze auf jedem Stück Gras um die Bäume herum. Eines Tages gibt es nichts zu sehen und im nächsten ist es voller schöner, schöner und knackiger neuer. Ich hatte ein Foto von Herbstblättern und benutzte es als Hintergrund mit einer großen Unschärfe und einigen Mixmoden. Ich habe eine Co-Palette aus diesem Foto gemacht und alle Farben sind daraus. Das Plaid wird mit dem Skript Cass-Plaid 3 hergestellt und der große braune Abgang in der rechten Ecke wird mit Cass-Bestickungspflaster gemacht. Ich habe eine Ecke aus dem Rahmen gehoben und ich habe immer ein Problem damit, solche Dinge zu tun, weil meine Hände nicht mehr stabil genug sind, aber am Ende habe ich etwas Annehmbares. Al die anderen Blätter kommen aus meinem Versteck und wieder mit Mischenmodi, um sie abzuschwächen. Schriftarten sind Madelyn Calligraphy, Bavire und Leaves Baby für die Blattdingbats + Arial. Hi Corrie, Kudos from my husband (who has his computer next to mine) for your mushroom scrap. He is a mushroom fan. He thinks it is an umbrella mushroom that is edible. But I don't know if it's called that in English. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I still can't wait!! 🤩 I read on the group FB page that someone met them in person and was surprised that David is very sweet and Michael is the macho one.

We cancelled Netflix and are trying Amazon Prime for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
