Thanks, ritage. You have obviously noticed my progress working with a displacement map. I was pleased with this one, too. I think you have pin-pointed why my earlier attempts were less than successful. |

Added the flowers to the fan using a displacement map.......changed the tones of the flowers using a hue/saturation adjustment layer. Background image from Stocksolo.
Helen, you have really come a long ways on displacement maps. This one appears to be your graduation project!
Do you have a tutorial that you would recommend that gives you such effective results?

Thanks, Tom. I have been using the tut posted by fotofrank in the CE Challenge. As Rita pointed out, I have found that it works best when applied to a part of an image that has defined contours as opposed to parts that have little definition. I have worked with it enough now that I actually remember the steps! |

Image from yopriceville and the BG texture from Coffeeshop Textures. BillieJean, this is really nice. It would make a great illustration for a children's book. |

I did a whole bunch of stuff, mostly changing colors, duplicating layers and rotating them horizontally and vertically for the background. Then I masked it in the shape it's in and changed the hue to a -137 to get the blues. (I didn't use a clipping mask; I "cheat" with a brush layer.) I kept the main image and added a stroke on the outside (1). I've never done that before, and I have to say I like it a lot.
