 "Here
are a couple of pieces I did in school. This first one called "Creative
Genius" was originally put together as a comparison of differing types
of creative genius, contrasting scientific and artistic genius. It was
put together in Photoshop (started in 3.x and finished in 4.0). It is
composed of some 25 layers, about 10 different images, many masks and
numerous tweaks, filters and corrections.
 "The
second one, entitled "She was..." is a surrealistic look at a woman
pining for her lost youth. Like "Creative Genius", it is made up of many,
many layers and tweaks. Possibly the most difficult portion of this was
the intensity of the masks used to blend the items together. It is about
7 different images and represents probably somewhere in the neighborhood
of 40 hours of work." -KineticMan

 "The
picture I'm posting was done in Bryce 2.0 and Corel Photopaint 7.0. The
toughest thing about the various techniques was masking the foreground
car. I finally used a vector path and that worked spiffy. The car and
lion are from the free photo libraries on Image Catcher. The background
was done in Bryce 2.0 and the whole thing composited on multiple layers
in Photopaint." -Plexxy

 "I
started with a "Bryce" background and added the car and the sphere behind
the rocks. The car was easy to cut out from a photo using Photoshop 5.5
with the pen tool and the feather set to 1. Then I rotated and scaled
it to "fit" realistically into the scene. I also added the proper shadows
and reflections under and in front of the car for added realism. I made
the sphere with the circular selection tool adding color bands and then
used the "sphere" filter with a lens flare. I also used the "plastic wrap"
filter. I painted the sphere reflections on the water and the car. Lastly,
I added the "Eye's" in the sky by cutting & pasting them from a photo
into a new layer mask. I scaled them and trimmed the unwanted part of
the eyes then I changed the layer transparency to 40%. I saved the doc
"for the web" in Photoshop using the Maximum setting, then I scaled it
in "image size" to about 50% and ended up with a Slim & Trim 29K. Oh yea,
I also used the "Hue & Saturation" adjustment to adjust the color on the
car to match the sky." -Ziner

 "I
am currently in a SuperPlanet class for PSP with Lori Davis and composite
images was one of our assignments. This was a small motorcycle toy that
I scanned and experimented with in different modes. I believe this ended
up being saturation at a lowered opacity. Found a stock photo in the Paint
Shop Pro 6 Power ebook that was the perfect angle for the mysterious motorcycle
dream image. It's a bit melodramatic but does represent that off road
feeling." -Horsebreath

 "This
was done about 3 years ago in a "Digital Imaging" class where I also learned
Photoshop 3.0, as my project for our "Seamless Fantasy" portion. It's
comprised of a photo of my son reading "Dinotopia" along with a scan of
a dinosaur appearing to walk into the room. The background of the dinosaur
is masked out, and appropriate shadows added to match existing shadows
in the photograph. This composite took me 9 hours of class work."
