NEW PHOTOSHOP COURSE


I have a new on-line Photoshop course at Betterphoto.com. I call it Photoshop: Thinking Outside the Box, and the photo of the sphere you see here is an example of what I teach. It is an eight-week course, and applying a two-dimensional photo onto a three-dimensional sphere is lesson 8. I present some very unique techniques that will stimulate and expand your creativity.

Here is a link to the course if this may interest you: http://www.betterphoto.com/courseOverview.asp?cspID=212

This image first started out with a Mardi Gras mask into which I pasted a photo of a glass eye. I then mirrored the image, added an abstract background, and then 'texture mapped' the photo onto a sphere (per lesson's 8 instructions). Finally, I pasted the sphere into another abstract background and then used my favorite Photoshop plug-in, Flood (made by flamingpear.com), to apply a reflection both top and bottom to the image.
