| Adrian Warren (AdrianW) Msg: #4 July 10th 2005 20:25:18 | Walt, funny you should ask ;) First step was a little rotation, 1.5°CCW. Then came the tedious stuff. I mainly used a 5px Clone Tool @ 100% opacity, zoomed in to 400%. Choose your source point carefully, and make sure you align it well with the end point. For areas which I couldn't clone I used 5px Paint Brush to roughly colour the area and then a 1px Paint Brush, or Line Draw to add detail. To add reality I ran a 13% BlurTool over the areas I'd painted to soften them up a bit, and then occasionally used the Burn Tool on Highlights @ 3% to drop the intensity a bit. Funnily enough the church is actually the easy part to clone back, the tricky bits are the areas where the large parts of the crane obscure low detail areas - like behind the roofline of the church... If I'd had some other shots taken from slightly different places I'd have been able to do a better job I think. Anyway, glad you liked it :) | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Courtney Brengard (Courtney) Msg: #5 July 11th 2005 12:54:43 | Very nice Adrian! I'm not sure I would have had the patience to work through that one. By the way, nice images on your site. I especially like the angle you got of the bridge in Sydney, beautiful... | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Adrian Warren (AdrianW) Msg: #6 July 11th 2005 14:03:29 | Thanks! I like challenges, and recreating buildings when you don't know what they're supposed to look like is definitely a challenge ;) I just left it open in Photoshop, and when I was bored of something else I'd have a quick nibble on it... Oddly the hardest part for me was the roofline behind the church, mainly because there wasn't enough existing detail to work with so I had to paint it from scratch! It's not a perfect job, but I think it's reasonably good. | |||||||||||||||||||||
