This is some old stuff I created during the years. The first one is made from a shot of this statue. This woman lived in my former hometown in the beginning of the 19th century. She was famous for her pretzels and today the town has a nickname, Pretzel town, and a supermarket with that name. In Swedish Kringlan. I made it "Old photo".

The second image is one of the first where I used layers. That was not an easy task back then.

Third is a mistake of sort. I had the wrong setting in my camera but I love this abstract image.

Images used for "Ninja fight with variations"

For the set of images shared on NatureFootstep Photos, I used two softwares. CS5 and FotoSketcher and the three images shown above.   And my grandchildren acting. 

One of the final images using the above images.See NF Bild2
It is impossible to describe what I did and how as there were so many steps back and forth.

How to create Ghosts in the tub

To create the "Ghosts in the tub" shot over in NF2 I used these 2 "lousy" shots as originals. It is my grandchildren ages ago when digital cameras was still not every mans tool. The images are small but the camera was rather good anyway. It was my first back in 2004. I´m not sure but I think the first image was with a flash. The other not.

The first one I used as it is and copied the second one and overlayed it in Arc Soft Photo studio.  I adjusted the image to fit the waterpipe and tub. Then I cropped the image and set the top layer to about 50% visibility.  And, voilá ghosts was born. :)

After using the quick selection tool in CS5 to erase the background I accidently hit the Fill tool and it was set to "Content aware". Gave me this shot that I liked. It filled the empty space of the shot with it´s own copies. I liked it.

Edit / Fill / Content aware then converted to BW for Weekend in Black and white.

I did not use any Blending mode. But I had visibility to about 70% on the girl. And a bit of the usual enhancements.

NF Photo 120201 isrosor i ett växthus - ice patterns in a greenhouse

Jag ville sätta in Johanna i det istäckta fönstret. Bilden rätades upp och färgen förstärktes en aning. Sedan beskar jag den.

I wanted to put Johanna in the icy window. The image had to be slightly rotated and the color was saturated a little. Then croped.

NF  Photo 070720, Johanna

Johanna fick speglas för att bli som jag ville. Sedan beskars bilden och kopierades in i fönstret.

Johanna had to be mirrored to fit the image. Then the image was croped and copied into the window.

Johannas lager fick suddas i kanterna för att passa in i rutan. Sedan fick den en opacitet på 64 %. Fönstret fick en blandning med "skarpt ljus"
The layer for Johanna had to be erased a bit in the edges to fit the window. Then I gave it an opacitet, 64%. The window blending mode was "sharp light".

Done!
