Popping Colour

[.Wilier.]

I was goofing around with Paint Shop Pro the other day and sussed out how to do this effect. Ive seen it used before but its really easy to do and looks pretty cool I think.

You do realise that you will now become a prime target for photoshopping?

Dunno about painshop, unless there's some selection tool like in 'shop. You know, layerpainting or some such.

Proposterous!

is that a shaved leg I detect?

One of the easiest things to do in PS can be really effective tho

Another nice thing to learn is how to airbrush which is also rather easy

 

[bob269]

Add a touch of motion blur to give some sense of speed

I'm enjoying making stuff from scratch atm. Not much i know but i come from a photo editing background with my photography so making things from scratch is new to me

 

[Sparx]

One more from me

Try painting with light next too

The scary thing about my 'shop is that it makes the original guy look like the shopped in guy

hehe if that is Wilier, he'll have buns of steel and the ability to fart a bull-elephant to death! o0

That orginal pic looks brilliant

SPPPpppeeeeeeeedd blur.

 

[Ch3tan]

Your pic is not working.

Damn you for being so quick.....

.Wilier. i've noticed a nice trick with speedblur.

First, use a bit less even if the "one billion dollar man" blur is cool as heck at times

But the trick is, copY/paste your "portrait", as in the thing you want to be the moving bit, and then paste it back on after the blur.

I'll show what i mean soon...

Well i did a bit more here, but illustrates the point:

- One speedblur for the background.
- Leave the "focus point" original sharp.
- Add(not necessary) another speedblur to the object, but move the blur to the "back" of the blur. As in, opposite to the direction.
- Leave blur off from the sharp original.
- Unify with any form of filter really, blur, light etc.

Result is a bit iffy 'cause there's a lack of good direction in original pic:

Thats quite cool though.

Thing is, I didnt add any blur, thats just how the image came out
