| Bob Wallace (BobTrips) Msg: #2 July 2nd 2005 08:47:31 | I'd say, treat this kind of shot as you would a portrait. Use a shallow DOF to separate your main subject from a busy background. Perhaps underexposing and using a bit of fill flash to let the front guitar stand out a bit more might also help. I faked the shallow DOF/fill flash a bit with processing to show you what I'm suggesting. Probably picking another place to stand might have given a bit more disconnect from the guitars in the back - the red portion of the one really sits inside the horn of the front one. | |||||||||||||||||||||

I work in elements and I am fairly new to that, I will have to check and see if I can do that. Very cool Thank You! | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Bob Wallace (BobTrips) Msg: #4 July 2nd 2005 17:50:11 | I used Elements. First I selected the foremost guitar with the Selection Brush. Go View -> Actual Pixels and then zoom in some more so that it's really easy to move the brush along the edge. I selected the guitar then did a Select -> Inverse to get the background 'live'. Then I used the Blur Tool and set the strength low, ~10%. That way I could run it back and forth over the rear area more than the foreground area. I also used the Sponge Tool to desaturate the colors in the background guitars. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Jacqueline (Jackie) Msg: #5 July 3rd 2005 03:00:33 | The seperation is awesome. I played once with that in an online class I took for elements but mine was bad, I mean you could see bumps and bad spots all around the edges. I guess I need to practice that, that is cool Thanks | |||||||||||||||||||||
