dhayton Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Inspired by some old postcards I had lying around, I wanted to create multiple layers through which you could see various background images. I'm still figuring it out, but here's my first go at it. crabtrem and Madame 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Hi dhayton, Nice effect, somewhere between scratch cards and foggy windows. Have you tried selecting a central section of your post cards and then playing around with the Soft Light, in the Blending tab? This should add a little extra depth similat to vignette...give it a try. peter Quote MacBook pro, 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB, OS X 10.11.6 http://www.pinterest.com/peter2111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhayton Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Hi Peter, Thanks for your comments. I will try changing the blending modes to see what I can get. It was a learning experience. I think with some work it might be a nice technique. Best,Darin peter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solly Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 The subject, Hopewell Furnace, is very interesting as well! This reminds me that I need to get there this summer. I look forward to see how your project develops. It would be very cool to have such graphics for each of the parks represented by the current US quarter national park set. Well done--keep experimenting! Quote Solly JFSJ N3MKH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhayton Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 @Solly, Thanks for the reply. I really like Hopewell Furnace—it's not a large site, but plenty to see. Especially if you visit nearby Bethesda Church. Go visit. And thanks for the encouraging words. I think it would be great to have a series of retro/creative graphics for the parks and sites. I'll keep working on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
