Wow, very beautiful. But I think you should have brighten it a bit to match the brightness of the background. But overall, I think its great. Keep 'em coming!

Josep WoW it is fabulos, thanks very much for teachig. Your friend José.

Masterful, with one omission

Submitted by AlanGilbertson on 14 August 2009 - 2:15am.
A masterful presentation, sir! You did leave out one small-but-important detail: the "reddish" layer must be the same hue as the red on the album title and elsewhere, to pull the composition together. I'd probably have used a color eyedroppered from the final composite background image (I picked 127, 35, 139 out of part of the sky, which worked fairly well) rather than the dark red, but either way, matching the text and overlay colors is important. That "drop shadow" trick is very nice. Never know when that might come in handy!

Very interesting video.

Well the magic you call composition skills

Hi Deke, I have to be a party pooper. In this video and in "Blending Hair and Sky" in chapter 8 "Everyday Channel Masking" lynda.com Photoshop CS3 Channels & Mask - The Essential you take an original layer on a "white" background and you multiply it to "improve" the quality of the blending of the strain of hairs into the new composition. My problem is I do not have either a "white" background and the multiply affects the end composition in ways that are not desirable. What is your suggestion my dear friend? Cheers and have a nice Martini.

Multiply is for white-background images

There are dozens (if not hundreds) of masking and compositing scenarios, which is why my "Photoshop CS3 Channels & Masks" video series ends up being more than 30 hours long. For more complicated scenarios, check out these chapters, all part of my "Photoshop CS3 Channels & Masks: Advanced Techniques": Chapter 10: Advanced Blending Chapter 14: Calculations (aka Channel Operations) Chapter 16: Masking the Tough Stuff As a special bonus, Chapter 10 is available for free to non-members! Even better, watch the entire series (available through lynda.com) or get my book Photoshop CS4 Channels & Masks One-on-One. Both are designed to provide you with the arsenal of skills that you'll need to approach any masking project with confidence and take your work to the next level.

Luminosity blending

Submitted by marioja on 4 August 2009 - 4:09pm.
I tried luminosity blending as in selecting a blend if in Advanced Blending and from such trying and trying my blender broke and I did not get a natural effect. And now I cannot even get a milkshake.

On to the task

Submitted by marioja on 4 August 2009 - 8:06am.
Ok, I knew you knew it, but now I do too. I will read the equivalent chapters in your CS4 oneonone. Which lesson is equivalent for Cahpter 10 Advanced Blending? Lesson 5: Every Day Masking, Lesson 6: Blends and Composites or Lessen 7 Masking Layers or whatever other lessons. And don't say all of them coz I won't sleep for a week! If I keep this up I will need to get a blender soon.

What Link?

Wacom Tablet being used. Right click on what? The photo I get movie no.

On the Mac, press Control and click the link

Submitted by deke on 4 August 2009 - 2:04am.
Then choose Save Link As or and equivalent command. The link to the movie appears at the beginning of the third paragraph. The link to the image occurs in the fourth paragraph.
