Edge Effects

Brushed-on Effect


Sweet Sunset-Rexburg, Idaho, 2/3/11 6:45, f/4, 1/1600
I decided to change this one up a little bit, in the book it said to have the background be white, but I thought that a black background would look better with the sunset. I thought it was cool how there were different brush styles, to make it look like there were actual strokes or just paint splotches.



Burned Border

Oatmeal, Yum- Rexburg, Idaho, 2/14/11 11:34am, f/3.1, 1/125

For This one I started with the regular steps, I copied the layer then darkened it by using the multiply blending mode. But then instead of using the rectangular marquee tool, I used the elliptical marquee tool and just selected the layer around the Quaker Oats guy then hit delete, I thought it looked cool.


Flexible Vignette

February Sunset- Rexburg, Idaho 2/3/11 6:50pm, f/4, 1/640

Just did the steps in the book for this vignette, I think the dark border really adds to this picture.

I don't have any scanography pictures due to me having health problems and not being able to get onto campus to use a scanner. My roommate has a scanner, but it didn't work!

  1. I really enjoyed the brushed on border effect and the flexible vignette in the temple shot. I felt that both showed that you knew what you were doing when you edited them. I also liked the color contrast that the black borders offered to the sunsets. Well done.

  2. I love the colors in your sunset picture and the picture of the temple. They are beautiful. You took your pictures at just the right moment. I really like your flexible vignette border too. I think that it complements the clouds in the sky really well. It also gives good contrast to all of the bright colors. Great job!
