Thanks for looking Steve. Sorry about the break in. I had a favorite guitar stolen after someone kicked my door in, years ago. No fun. |

Re: Contest 176: Hiding in plain sight
Thank you Steve for your helpful advice. I knew there was something wrong with the objects in the foreground as they look like they are floating but I couldn't find a way to fix it. I'm going to work through your suggestion and paint beneath the base. As for the perspective, this is a problem for me. I'll submit my question to the correct category. Abby-Helen |

Thanks Steve for your comments. This was too much fun. By the way the camera is on the shelf above the door next to the Christmas present. and the passport repeated several times is in the curtain. Markey |

Re: Contest 176: Hiding in plain sight
I used Jquery framework, a pre-defined library of JavaScript methods, and CSS to create the movable objects. I used PNG files for the transparency, however, I had to add a lot of code to get Internet Explorer 6.0 to co-operate in the trick. It took a little time to align the images and figure out how to hide them until the page loaded. The beauty of using a framework is I don't have to write a lot of code to get the effects I want. It took a few months to learn the Jquery syntax, but it's a great asset for a web developer. |

Thanks, Neal. Of course, I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, but it's enough to convince me that I need to get someone to do this stuff for me! |

Thanks for commenting Steve. This was a lot of fun to do! Thanks also for being lenient on my scandalous cheating with the camera! |

Thanks, Steve. I wasn't really happy about the perspective on the laptop, but sometimes you just run out of time. The passport is hiding under the crochet doily. If you look closely, you can see it through the holes in the doily, and even some of the gold writing. 
Kate, I rather like your husbands wet clothing painting myself  |

Re: Contest 176: Hiding in plain sight
sorry i didnt post this week steve me and photoshop had a bit of a disagreement. I had a very clear vision of what i wanted to do in my minds eye, but i just couldnt get it onto the screen (totally down to lack of skill on my part). So i gave up in a huff and deleted my attempt  |
