Blending & Type Effects

Week 2: Image Edit




Lincoln Memorial: 12-30-2009; 6:15pm; Washington, DC.; f 5.1; 1/160; Sony DSC-S600; handheld
Flag: 1-19-2010; 2:00pm; Walmart Parking lot, Rexburg; f 7.1; 1/400; Sony DSC-S600; used car as tripod
Dream: 1-19-2010; 1:30pm; My Bedroom; f 3.8; 1/59; Nikon Coolpix; handheld


I merged these images together using the opacity change tool as well as using an overlay. I ran the Lincoln Memorial picture through an HDR program to make the colors stand out more through the other pictures. I boosted the curves on the flag to also have a more dramatic color. I used the opacity tool to lower the opacity of the flag to 30% so the Memorial could show through. I then added the word dream (which is actually a picture of vinyl lettering on my dresser) and made that an overlay. I finished with adding text on top of everything.

  2. Lovely! The Lincoln is one of my favorite places to visit. The overlay worked well - no overpowering the monument behind. Actually, my favorite part is that official, clean looking logo in the bottom right hand corner.
