I am curious. What is the reason for creating a pure .pdf?
Creating the .psd takes some time on account of the very intricate vector paths. The result is a big file which requires more than 30 s to open in my PSE15. Since it only contains vector shapes plus a solid color fill layer, it is fully scalable and can be enlarged without any pixellisation. I wondered what would be the result in size and ease of use for an illustrator pdf keeping the layers. The result is small enough and opens immediately in Acrobat DC. I did not want to save as pdf from Elements, since it uses the Photoshop pdf format, combining both the psd and pdf version. - a sitll bigger file - but opens directly in Elements (vey slow...) or Acrobat DC - with the advantage that the Elements 15 Organizer shows the thumbnail (it ignores the pure pdf). From the organizer you can either use the edit in Elements or the right click and open in Acrobat DC. The pure pdf is ideal for printing at any scale and sharing (not available in imgbb.com...) I have not yet tried to use the Microsoft Print to pdf virtual driver, I preferred the safety of Photoshop. Michel, thanks! It makes sense! As I said before, I need to try this technique and I will incorporate creating a .pdf file as well. I also have Acrobat DC. |

two versions  
Frank, a very creative approach. These two images are mesmerizing! I am having a hard time picking a favorite one. I guess I will go for the first one. It brings to mind a design on an American Indian shield.

Rita,
Such an original idea and a great execution! The punch-out effect raised your work not one notch but many. You don't seem to ever get into a rut, doing the same thing (effect) again and again or to have a photoshopper's block. You never cease to surprise me!

My mother is a snow leopard.  They named a car after me.  (My all time favourite - the Sunbeam Tiger). |
