Fun to play

My attempt worked out pretty well, considering It's not the best stock peice one could use for something like this. And then I went overboard and started adding all kinds of extra tripe, which didn't really work out how I planned, but by that time it was so darn late that I couldn't give a toss.

Good pass. You might want to play with using more layers for your effects. I find it gives me more freedom to clone or patch on a layer above the original and WHEN I go to far, I have not damage the original and can easily back-up. More layers, more options.

Keep havin fun, that's what it's all about.

I probably used like 20 layers with image masks, so the file was frelling huge, and then I meged without taking a snapshot, so when I re-opened it, I could not undo the additions. Re-taught me a very valuable lesson, 'snapshot before each major alteration'.

Been There...LOL
Had PS3 lockup on me last week and almost lost everything cause I had not saved. Got lucky when I grabbed a screen shot that saved a flattened low res version of my file. Computers suck till you realize you could be working on canvas.

so true, imagine having to do this by hand, with shed loads of pics.
