I have a confession to make about this photo of Amanda which I posted on my previous blog post . . . it's not a real shot.
It's actually a composite of three separate photos that I put together in Photoshop.
I started with this photo of Jove and cloned him out as best I could, mostly around his outsides.
I used this photo for the sky. I took this picture years ago at Ala Moana Beach Park. I knew it would come in handy someday.
I then extracted Amanda from this photo and added her in.
There's actually a fourth element . . . this texture (my favorite) from Jessica Drossin called Sublime. I applied it two times to add some pop to the colors. I also blurred out the grass in the foreground to give a little added depth.
So now you know the truth . . . it's Photoshop . . . not me.
this and that

Thanks Mich. I wasn't sure if I liked the tree trunk picture. Now I'm glad I included it in Amanda's CD.
Hahahaha. Thanks Les. It's fun.
Thanks Kat!
Came in handy, Shun Wah.
Awww, thanks Dean.
Photoshop is unreal Betty. And I only know how to use a fraction of its potential.
You are very good. I find it difficult to take things out. I am not patient and agile with the magic lasso. Please teach grasshopper.
Celia, I'm not good at cutting things out either. Instead, I combine two photos and paint away portions of the top photo to reveal the hidden image below.
I'm shocked you used Photoshop to alter the photo. I thought you did it all in camera. LOL
I hope you're not too disillusioned, Erick. Hahaha!
