Ldina Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 I was experimenting with Photo v2 and had fun creating this crystal ball effect. The final image used two photos, one of Aspetuck Reservoir (in Connecticut, USA, taken with a DSLR) and a second one of my hand, which I took with my iPhone, stripped and added before generating the crystal ball effect. This distorted my fingers inside the crystal ball. I needed another un-distorted hand layer for that portion of the hand and wrist that were extending toward the viewer out of the frame. AP has some incredible functionality and tools. Hope you like it.

MikeC60 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Why would your fingers on the backside of the ball be transparent? jmwellborn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ldina Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 Thanks, Mike...you're right and I agree. Since that was a composite with the hand added above the background image, I was trying to find a way to dim down the hand somewhat, so it wasn't so prominent. Lowering the opacity probably wasn't the best solution. Perhaps leaving opacity at 100% and adjusting brightness, saturation, etc, would have been better. I appreciate the feedback.

MikeC60 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Yes, I agree, brightness and saturation are good choices. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
