Where does the rainbow end?
Only the source image and a lot of work with gradients was used!
I won't upload a step by step guide because my computer is pretty much full right now, so i'll just describe my method:
The sky was a blue to white gradient, and i just blurred that back of the water to increase depth.
I made a water abnormality using a high feathered selection and the liquify filter, then i added a a russel's rainbow to the image. that can be found in the drop down menu in the gradients tab under 'Special effects'
I then changed the opacity to 60% and changed the blend mode to screen.
I added a Spectrum (again in th gradients tab under 'spectrums') and placed it in a high feathered selection, then i just reduced the opacity to about 60%.
That's it!! (5 years and 3884 days ago)

I just wanted to say that this isn't my usual manipulation.. i suppose it's good to try new things, but then again, i hate gradients![](http://www.pxleyes.com/forum/images/smilies/14.gif)
I'm sure there was a lot of work on this.. its just a shame doesn't show in the result (your description pretty much covers the Labor) but i saw a piece on here just awhile back where some one took a picture and manipulated the source picture BACK into the same exact picture.. it was really really weird, but I learned a lot from it, it's good to do new things.. gives you perspective on other things available to you.. GOOD LUCK and good job..
good thought
superb
Thanks everybody! It's not a very striking result, i know GolemAura, i just thought i might as well give it a shot.. everyone needs to try things they hate. and apparently Gradients hate me as well![](http://www.pxleyes.com/forum/images/smilies/10.gif)
very nice![](http://www.pxleyes.com/forum/images/smilies/1.gif)
aww pretty, nice work but it is rather simple really.
Yeah.. once i get more confident working with gradients i'll move on to more complicated things.. this was just a test really :p
nice job with the rainbow not sure how I feel about the liqueify coming out of the water with it. But your learning quick
keep up the good work
Well i didn't want to make something so simple even simpler, so i shoved in a little water spout
Thanks DigitalDreamer!
Howdie stranger!
