Redone prints

This picture is one of the ones that I worked especially hard on. First off, i used a color gradient tool behind the trees to make that nice colorful sky which reminds me of the Northern lights, then I used a pretty nice glass filter to make it have that glassy look.

With this picture I used three differet tricks to getting it to look lik it does. First, I used a color gradient filter to get the metalic look in the background, then I used the flashlight tool to give it that one shiny spot behind the fountains, then I used the cropping tool to make it nicer to look at.

This was probably one of the hardest pictures that I worked with. I used a color gradient for the background, but because the background is so edgy, I had to use a Magic Wand Tool to get the cracks in there. Then I used a nice grain filter to give it that old movie look. I think that the reason for my liking this picture the best is because it reminds me of a really old movie and I love how old movies look.

This was one of the mose easy pictures that I have done. What I did was use the Magic Wand Tool to select the background with a tolerence of five. What pixels I couldnt get with the Magic Wand Tool, I used reverse painting to get the little pixels. Then I used a cool looking emboss filter on it and the background came out the way it did. I like how it came out. Although I did not add any color to this peice, I think that it makes it look a little more powerful than it used to be.

This picture is called STAIRS IN THE STADIUM and I think that it is pretty good. What I did first is color all of the picture. The stairs are brown, the grass is green and the cement on the walls is yellow. Then I used a Crackeling Filter on the grass by selecting the grass and then using the crackeling tool on it. I made the intensity and depth both 20 percent. Then I wanted to experiment and I used the grain tool on the whole picture after deselecting the selection from before. I set it at 90 percent and when I looked at the final result, I loved it. This picture was taken in the stadium at my school right before fall break, ‘04.
