Mono technique

Trying again with the sand to try and make the walkway stand out. Thoughts?

Mr Blue Sky · 11-08-2007, 20:39

looks pretty good jack, hope you dont mind i did a pimp, probably nothing like you wanted lol

i selected the walkway with the lasoo tool and used the clarify action set at 20(im using paint shop pro x) then inverted selection and ran noise removal to smooth the sand out a bit, then upped contrast a bit.

I like the way you have brought out the texture of the wood here, and I think with the smoothing of the sand it does give a very good contrast in textures

Great pimp MBS! Love that

And as for you two winos...
ever hear the joke about Jonathan Ross?
Two Rhinos are talking, one says:
"I hate that bloody Jonathan Ross"
The other says:
"Why?"
He replies:
"The b*stard called me a Wino"

That's almost Rob Barron standard

***Dave*** · 11-08-2007, 22:55

Hey, we can never get to Robs level of jokes

This is my first try at a pimp

still think the original is the best

JMitchell · 12-08-2007, 20:54

Ooh, nice, like the colours you got on the wood, how did you do that?!?

**Dabhand16** · 12-08-2007, 21:52

Yes that is a rather nice effect

Well done Sawdust.

Suspect it was a layer/layers with selective colour and reduced opacity?
