Hi all,
For a contest, I’m trying to create a banner for a web site. It’s really just for fun but I have this idea that I want to use to make one and it’s a struggle to do. What I want to do is take a bunch of images and blend them in so that it’s like theres a smooth flow and they integrate together like a transition. Here’s one as an example to show what I mean:
What I did was take 4 different caps and used a smudge tool but it didn’t have the desired effect I wanted. As you can see, they don’t really blend together as one. Any suggestions here?
I’ve looked into Ben Willmore’s "Studio Techniques." I’ve often tried using a magnetic lasso tool to cut out the person and sometimes their head is cut off at the top or the torso at the bottom so I end up having to place them in a corner or at the bottom of a blank document I place it on. I’ve tried layer techniques such as multiply, overlay, luminous, etc to try to hide these with other backgrounds but sometimes the "cut-offs" are still noticeable. So I think the best thing to do what I want is to try to keep these individual caps without cutting out the person or anything so I can get the transition/blend in together effect. But how do I do this?
