Thanks for your Lithograph Effect Lillias . It was fun and gave us many interesting images!
A few years ago Davrodigital did a tutorial on how to create a Triptych, but today's challenge is a very new, updated version of this old favorite. He has streamlined the technique, and I always appreciate being reminded about keyboard shortcuts that I can't seem to make stick in my addled head. It is pretty straight-forward, and there are many extensions and modifications that come to mind, so I am looking forward to seeing your Creative Effects!
and here is my result from following it: (click for full-size view)

Here's my first attempt. I especially liked the way he used the crop tool to create the panels! I tend to lean toward the "plainer" side of things but will try to come up with a more creative background for my next try. Due to COVID.....we are allowed to use old images for this assignment. The challenge is trying to select those that will make a good triptych. u.cubeupload.com/HMCA/TomsCEFlipped.jpg |

I love the colour you chose for your shadows and the border Helen. Beautiful image and I think it works well as a triptych. |

I like this one, but I wonder if the separation from the background would be enhanced by spacing the panels a bit further apart? I realize this is guided entirely by individual preference, so don't listen too closely to me. Another "special effect" is to play with the color of the "shadow". On one of the layers, click the fx and then the color sample; you can then click around in the color-picker to see the effect. That can be much fun, but may not give a pleasing result.

Thanks, Tom. I appreciate your suggestions. Unfortunately I don't save layers but I will try to remember your suggestions when I do my next one. When I look at it now, I realize that it would have been better if I took the time to adjust the background image so that the blue showed between the panels. Adjusting the spacing between panels as you have suggested would also have helped. I am sure I will get a lot of inspiration from the images that are posted in this thread. I already hope to find an image that will work with the descending panels presentation shown by Lillias.

I used to think that a triptych was a single image parts of which appeared in three different and separate frames which when seen together on the wall gave a representation of the image as a whole but having Googled the term it seems that that is not necessarily so. The three panels can be of different sizes and shapes. They can also have different images in each panel but I think the images are meant to have a commonality. So this is my take on that with the ballerinas. Credits; images from Pixabay, Pexels and HiClipart. Frames by Jodi.

Took Tom's suggestion to create more spacing between the panels.
Just to be clear, my comments were not meant as "suggestions", but rather speculations and ideas. I see my artistic sensibilities as pretty unsophisticated still, so I am much more comfortable just exchanging ideas and hearing how others think about these things.
Anyway, I like your newest post a lot; the colors are so rich! Do you think the extra space helps or not? I would guess that too much space would shatter the cohesion of the image.

Thanks, Tom. I think it was a good "idea". Because the colors are so bold, I think the separation works well with the composition. I also think that the shadow gives it a 3D look, so I am pleased with it.
I actually just switched it out as I had uploaded the wrong version.....the background was lighter.
