More Than One Image

 

Original Image 1Same statue I used in project 15

Original Image 2A photograph of some autumn leaves

First CombinationTo combine these images I used the magic wand tool to delete the background from the statue with the feather feature to 2 pixels.

Filters appliedNext I applied a number of filters to this combination to make it more attractive. First I applied Cutout to the leaves. Next I used the lasso tool to copy the head of the statue. I then applied Water Colour to the torso, set it’s opacity to 51% and applied sumi-e to his head which i left at 100% opacity.

Second CombinationFor the second combination I had the leaves open in one window whilst the statue was open in another. I then selected the clone tool, set it to aligned, defined an area to clone from the statue and drew onto the leaves. With this technique I was able to draw the statue’s head in the centre at the top of the image. Next I set the clone tool to Non-aligned and drew fives vertical lines at the bottom of the image. By doing this and starting in different positions each time, I was able to draw a pattern of half statue heads.

Filters and BlendingI then decided to apply some filters and blending modes to this image. I applied Hard Light to the head at the top to make it appear as though it is spookily appearing from the leaves. I also applied the cutout filter to the non-aligned heads, altered their hue to green and set their opacity to 89% to create an abstract image.

Part 2

Two Photographs of me, one sensible, one silly

Filters and combinationI then applied the Photocopy filter to both of the photographs, rotated one of them by 90 degrees and placed them next to each other.

ColourNext I used the Bucket fill tool to fill the white areas in with different colours.

 

I then applied some distortion filters to the image.

Wave

Twirl

Shear

LiquefyLiquefy is my favourite distortion tool because you can just click and drag the areas that you want to distort.

MirroringI then mirrored the image by copying and pasting it, flipping one of the versions horizontally and placing them next to one another.

Final ImageAfter I had mirrored my image I applied the Fresco filter to give an abstract butterfly painting effect.
