Saying Goodbye

I just finished with a Photoshop Compositing class and thought I would share the results. We learned a TON – layer masks, blend modes, non-destructive dodging and burning, smart objects, and on and on. My final project is not perfect – I  probably should have picked a better background image to help the other figures stand out – but I am pretty happy with it.

I titled it “Saying Goodbye” -

To show all the work that went into it these are all the different elements…

It was a hard class, but I’m very glad I went. Definitely worth the frustration. Photoshop is huge, though, and I still have a long ways to go.

    You’re wrong… you did a great job. It was really hard work and, like I said, very frustrating. There were times I wanted to throw the computer out the window. I’m sure you can relate to that!

  Wow … so cool! Love, love, love it. I have a “thing” for cemeteries, anyway, so I doubly love this. Very cool composite!
