Very nicely achieved! One point: while the rays from the sun should appear in front of the saucer, the sun itself should of course be behind it. Welcome to the forum! |

The hallway I found the rays of light rather difficult and took me about five attempts because photoshop doesn't seem to allow you to do anything after you have applied a blur. So I had to find another way around it.   |

Very good! But when you say Photoshop doesn't allow you to do anything after you have applied a blur... what do you mean, exactly? I've always found Photoshop to be remarkably compliant. |

Re: One of my first attempts with the help of 100% photoshop.
Well after applying the blur to the rays the free transform would only select the whole image and after pressing Q to exit quick mask mode the selected area wasn't just the rays. Without the blur I entered free transform spread the rays and after pressing Q the rays were selected. So for the centre of the light rays I went over it two or three times for the outer areas I only went over once so only soft light would shine though. Its not the first time I have had trouble with blur. Most of the time it works fine but sometimes it refuses to let me do a certain something or other after I have used it. Last time it was the cloud filter. So I just run it backwards instead clouds then blur. It maybe me missing something I don't know, very new to this, so far all I have done is work though the Photoshop PS6 book to learn how to use it in the first place then I found your book. As a traditional artist turning to digital for health reasons your book is a gift thank you. |

Just finished! Taken a bit longer than the previous two but I am rather pleased with it. Looking forward to the next one.  |

Well done Emy from here too! I really like your 100% draw and fascinating contents. Steve's book on 100% PS is a great inspiration I think. Look forward your further contributions when you can. |

Thank you so much, I have started the next one in the book and will post it as soon as I have finished. It's getting me used to the liquify filter I haven't liked so far, but I think this picture has just changed my mind.  |

My latest picture I have just finished, but is only small enough to post on here if I make it tiny. Then it posts really small so I will post the attic one when I have finished that one. Sorry.  |
