Re: Challenge 1000
David, thank you for your lengthy answer. I shall look forward to seeing your fix in the problems section later this week.

Fun entries everyone...

Ant - Great to see and 'hear' the moose make an appearance...

David - I've never tried to make an animation with Photoshop, so I may not be much help. My entry's cloud speed was an over-exaggeration of Mr. Sinclair's clouds... you might try to create a 'reflected mirror' image of the clouds you are using for the animation, sometimes this can help to disguise the always present loop in a gif animation.

Re: Challenge 1000
On the basis of my two day experience, not trying to make an animation in photoshop would definitely seem to be the wise route to take.

Yes I tried mirrored doubling. It was the easiest thing to try first. I really though it would work but somehow it looked too obvious and jumped out.

I shall be posting my final method (which has severe limitations) in the problems section later today. I am hoping someone can suggest something much cleverer.

By the way in all the excitement I forgot to declare that the looped sky in my last entry involved some generative fill.

More details here. Now I shan’t need to clog this thread with stuff that belongs elsewhere. Apologies Steve.

Re: Challenge 1000
So I tried very hard to emulate another style. it all started out very well with fast moving clouds and lots of explosions and destruction but then i began to realise that it was still all my own style after all

No matter whose style has taken over, you have been having a lot of fun there Gordon!

Seventeen years ago, to the day, I picked a copy of Steve's book and flipped through it. My first thought was - I want to learn more about this 'Photoshop'. Who knew that such an ordinary moment would turn into a life-changing journey? Thanks Steve, not just for your books, mentoring, advice and friendship but also for this fabulous community you have created.

Some of the entries, I can spot the influence but in others I can't. However, they are all brilliant. Jurassic Park is epic, Gordon

Explosive stuff Gordon! Very good! Could have done with a few loud noises instead of that supermarket music.

Thanks Michael. Yes you’re probably right I should have put in a few bangs but I had already put in far too much time on this one.
The ‘supermarket ’ music is actually John Williams’s theme music from the original Jurassic Park film

Except you seem to be something of a favourite for imitators.

Like the clever way you have turned the man into a very casual driver.
