C & C please

Covey

First time doing this, all comments appreciated.

Used Fajitas conversion method, except the gaussian blur which I couldn't figure out.

No picture here Cove?

Covey

It's there when I go into edit

Anyone help??

Valentia

Are you using Flickr?

Covey

No, but a similar type site??

Valentia

Are you pasting the link into the "insert image" icon on the edit page or using the "

Covey

Yep,

Pasted the link to the image thingie and it now appears as an img tag in the message, only visable though in edit mode.... :eek:

Valentia

Stick up the link and I'll have a go.

elven

there tis, thanks for help:)

No jpeg in the url. Jeez elven you're sharp! There doesn't seem to be a way of getting a direct link from that site. Unless that when you log in it gives you one.

Valentia

I put it on my own domain space and linked to it.

Covey

Thanks Valentia

Right click, "copy image location".

I like it BTW. Lovely conversion and the woman really adds to it. The scale of the statue and the woman is perfect.

I'm not a huge fan of street shots in general, but I do like how the girl's pose mimics the statue. As far as the conversion is concerned - did you have the gaussian blur layer in there at all? The overlay/soft light blending mode is what would give it a bit more pop, I think?

Valentia

Fair play Zillah!

Covey

No Gaussian blur as I couldn't figure it out. I don't have anywhere to choose a %
as Fajitas says, just a radius/pixel scale .

I did use the overlay though and it did pop out, though I reduced it to 40%, maybe should have left it higher.

The % is for the opacity of the layer, I think, rather than the blur itself.

Covey

Right get it now, you put in the blur, reduce the opacity to mute the effect a little.

Grand, ta.

I think though it might more suited to the type of shots you posted than street scenes, architecture etc. Still the best conversion I've managed to date.

It looks good to me, nicely captured.
