| Technique! Week 8
Welcome to Technique! Week 8. Week 7 is officially closed for new photos. Special thanks to Edit This  for sharing his technique for using masks to apply patterns to a picture. Definitely a lot of fun!
The goal of this thread is for one of the members of the forum to share a photographic technique with the rest of the forum. Then we can all practice this technique & upload our results. The technique doesn't have to be limited to digital editing. It can be related to other things as well, like exposure, depth-of-field, etc. A good example of a technique thread can be found here.
Any takers? |

| Since I am still a copy cat, I would love to see a few of the techniques mentioned in this weeks posts demonstrated so I can learn! Paint and photo techniques combined, how do you use a paintbrush on a photo (especially from those with drawing pads) or how do you create a great canvas/watercolor photo?

There are some very nice tutorials here: »www.skydancers.com/_fo2pix/buzz_tutes.html Note this entails the use of a filter called Buzz-Pro. I have the filter and really like what I can do with it. It's basically a bunch of filters but the main ones are the simplifier filters (much like a median filter but with more controls)
You'll find more samples of this filter's use here: »www.pbase.com/buzzpro/root
You can achieve some very nice water-color looks with this filter.

OK - so it looks like this week's technique will be to create paintings from pictures using any of the links provided above. If you choose to practice this using climbers technique, here's a step-by-step tutorial:

Instead of using the "canvas" texture I used the "burlap". I found burlap to be please my eye more. The top photo is a resized ver. of the original. I resized it to 800 x 600 pixels for web posting. The bottom is with the technique applied. Also, it is resized to 800 x 600 for the same reasons as the first.
A very cool technique.
Thanks!!!

Just a personal preference and not meant as a criticism of anyone's work in any way but I have a dislike to the standard "hayes technique" that is shown, not because that the results look don't look good, but more because they look "too" good.
I don't like "perfect" when it comes to art or paintings. I like style and personal touch.
So, what I like to do with this sort of technique is once I have obtained the "painted look" or feel that I am aiming for by following the "rules", I go in and purposely add in imperfections.
I do this by creating new blank layer(s) and using the eye-dropper to pick up various colours from the canvas and then "throwing" and "pushing" those colours around the "canvas" to add or subtract detail. I try to emulate traditional paint brush and pallette knife techniques and cut in new objects or over top of existing ones to "roughen" up their look.
It takes a longer and sometimes doesn't work but to me it gives a final result that looks more authentic and gives each piece done that added personal style.
here are some sample of past ones.
Rodeo
. . . .orginal photo . . . on this one I used a "wet brush" and pallette knife to trace over a lot of the existing objects and did some blotting out on the trees.
from first edit this thread I more or less painted over top much of the entire image. Using many varying brushes and playing around I added in lots of custom details to distinguish it from the original photo. (easily seen if one looks for them).
Now I realize this is only a "personal taste" sort of thing and some may not like the idea of "ruining" their creations by purposely adding in imperfections. Indeed others may not even be able to tell any difference, but its just something that I enjoy doing and I like the results of. . .
so I thought I would impose my ideas on to all of you and try to infect you with some of the methods to my madness
(and of course I'll be doing up another one for this thread

| Hi Kalford,
That is the whole idea to the oil or water color conversion. It is not one technique, It is a personal thing. It is how you would like the picture to look in oil or water color. That is the idea of this thread. Try them all and either use it or do it your way. I got to quit typing, I am starting to sound like a commercial.
