In Josephine's words...look very hard at something wet and poke it! 
Good idea Ben

Re: Contest 248: Out of the depths
Sorry Steve, did you say Oslo or Copenhagen? 
Only when I came to post this did I see that other minds were already working along the same lines.
dwindt - To get this wet rock effect I duplicated the rock layer and then using a curves adjustment layer I slightly darkened it. I then created a layer mask on the new rock layer and filled it with black to hide everything. Then I used a small hard-edged brush to paint back the 'wet line' (using white on the mask). You can then lightly enhance a few of the highlights using the dodge tool. Hope that helps with your earlier question.

What saucy ladies - I could have done with their help when I did my Feejee mermaid exhibit. James - that looks like an awful lot of hard work there - I love the ending. _________________ I'm not really bad - I just draw that way |

Re: Contest 248: Out of the depths
Great work from everyone so far.  Jo I just adore your newspaper, very clever and so well done! Big thumbs up. 
Apologies that I haven't contributed, I've had heaps of niggly Photoshopping to do in work this week and I'm just sick of looking at it at this stage. O the drudgery of the working class.  |

Re: Contest 248: Out of the depths
The rather more elegant way to do it is to just use the original rock layer and apply a curves adjustment layer. Then you can use the adjustment layer's mask to do exactly the same job. That way you save on your file size by having one less layer. _________________ The meek shall inherit the Earth if that's ok with the rest of you. |

Re: Contest 248: Out of the depths
Tides out! and Galapagos crabs have migrated to cooler climes - maybe 'global warming'! James great animation - loved the flapping wings then the synchronised 'ducking' Josephine - great newspaper Excellent ideas as always For some reason I've had to save this at a massively lower resolution to get to file size. Normally I can save at about 88%, this time I had to go to 51%, even though the original file size is the same. Maybe it is the hue of the crabs!!  |

Thank you Deborah. It would be an insult to suggest your effort is a photograph; it exhibits such a high degree of skill. It’s amazing |

Re: Contest 248: Out of the depths
I nearly always have to save at 50% or even less, it has a lot to do with how many sharp details there are in the image. _________________ Perfect confidence is granted to the less talented as a consolation prize. |
