I'll see you at the cemetery... and then we can be together...
I didn't add a step by step guide because it was a very straightforward manipulation. I wasn't going to upload it due to its simplicity, but i gave it a go.. this took about 3.30 hours, and most of that was with the adjustment layers, i wanted to create a soft, melancholy effect, but at the same time achieving a withering and ageing effect. The final image consisted of 5 groups, each contaning around 20 adjustment layers, and for once in my life i didn't use the Brightness/ Contrast.. promise!!! Again.. i apologise for the simplicity of this cliche entry. Thanks :)
Thanks to Lelaina and CMYK - i fixed the light sources (5 years and 3788 days ago)
- 1: Bride
this would be very good if you lowered the brides opacity to make her look transparent like a ghost...just a thought
Thanks for the comment, i originally had the oipacity turned down, and i had fog in the image, but the finished thing didn;t looks right to me, where her head was it was too bright and detail was lost very quickly. Thanks for the comment!
I believe the light direction of the lady is opposite of the source image. Try a horizontal flip of her and I think it will work better. I like the different tone of your work.
good work! but after reading the descritpion, i have a few questions... you have only one outside source, but yet made 5 groups with up to a hundred adjustment layers in total!!! i just don't get it! are there even 20 kinds of adjustment layers (minus the brightness and contrast) ?? please explain!
Right elficho i suppose i should explain xD My base group is the actual image that i created, i then duplicated the group and merge it, then i apply adjustment layers to that and group it, and i repeat the process top create some kind of stacking.. my workflow is kind of all over the place and myr ecent discovery of the Group layers has really made me a little bit too cautious. There aren't 20 adjustment layers (minus B/C) but i stack two or more of the same ones in one group as well, but yeah, i hope that's valid enough to not make me look crazy. Thanks!!
author, you're borderline crazy well, your comment made me laugh, don't know why.. EDIT: oh, it's you! good work again, i'm a fan
Haha! Thanks!!
Opposite light sources...
i kinda lik the image is ok
One of my moms' coworkers got married in a graveyard. I saw the pictures. Some of it was nice. Some of it was creepy. And some of it was just plain crazy (she had a bunch of Barbie dolls in attendence.)
I like this look
Very nice idea and mood, great job
Nice mood, but if you look, the shadow on the woman is on the right, whereas it's on the left of the stones...
If you look at the original image, there's a dark spot where i placed the bride, i didn;t actually add a shadow myself, it just got darkened up as i added adjustments.
Is she lookig for her housband? Very nice..
Well... thank you for thanking me, but I think you meant laulei I didn't said anything about light sources I really like the atmosphere Good luck!
Ahh! Sorry Laulei, i didn't give you the credit, my mind was elsewhere. Thanks to everyone who commented!
