Transforming Architecture to Bits

My entry for the Photoshop Fixes Group challenge #32. This is the original photo that I started with
www.flickr.com/photos/37351539@N05/4116427017/in/pool-101...

Thanks to Brooke Novak for making her photo of the photographers available through creative commons.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/brookenovak/ / CC BY 2.0

I took out the original photographers using the clone tool and the patch tools.

I copied the layer and changed the layer style of this copied layer to multiply to intensify the contrast.

I then copied the other photo of the photographers into a layer and painstakingly selected just the photographers.

I set the photographers on their own layer and filled them with black. I transformed their size to fit appropriately and positioned them where I wanted using free transform.

On the second cathedral layer, I used the burn tool to add shadows under the photographers. I used the dodge tool to lighten the doors so the silhouettes didn't get lost in the darkeness.

I added a black and white adjustment layer.

I increased the canvas size to add the white border.

I selected the cathedral layer and added a gray stroke.

I added the text.

She Beats the Drum

My entry in the photoshop fixes group for challenge #31 (since I am selecting the winner this week, this is for fun only).

This is the original
www.flickr.com/photos/randysonofrobert/4096462797/

Selected the drummer and her drum from the rest of the photo using the pen tool. Placed her on her own layer.

Enhanced the deep reddish color of the drum by duplicating the layer and changing the layer style to multiply. Masked off the effect on the lady.

Did a lot of erasing and cloning to get rid of distractions on the drum layer and wierd highlights along the edges.

Added a radial gradient layer behind her -- blue to black.

Added paths using the pen tool. Then stroked the paths using the brush and manipulated the inner glow, bevel and emboss and satin effects. (look to this tutorial for inspiration on how to do this -- Colorful Lines Tutorial.

Bird of Paradise Head On

The birds of paradise are blooming all around these parts. I caught this one head one. I couldn't find any shots on Flickr with this perspective.
