Cut out my son and his friend from a photo and placed onto a dandelion macro. Then applied melancholytron filter for softness and tone.

Alana Ibe August 24, 2005

Could you share some general info on how you used the Melancholytron filter in this photo?

Thanks! Love this picture!

#1761193

Julie Abston August 24, 2005

Thank you Sandy and Alana! Alana, I don't remember what settings I had it on. I know I chose a sepia tone and used the round shape to create a soft blur vignette around the bottom. Hope this helps a little! Thanks again!!! #1763451

August 28, 2005

Great job Julie!
Congratulations on this well deserved finalist!
Minolta has a macro on 13 cm - how did you get so close to the dandy?
Best regards Reine

Julie Abston August 29, 2005

Thank you Her! Actually, this is 2 images layered...both taken with different cameras. The image of the boys was with my Minolta, but the image of the dandelion was with my JVC GC-QX5HD. I probably should have noted that. Great observation! I wish my Minolta had a better macro. Thanks again!! #1780010

Hendrik Storme September 12, 2005

Julie, I love this!!!
Is this a plug in filter in PS 7.0?
If so, can you download it anywhere?
Thanks and a lot of plaesure with your camera! #1828963
