Tricks with Digital Photography
How to do tricks with your digital photos and family pictures.
Here are some pictures taken with a
digital camera then processed in Corel Photopaint
You can see the different steps in the
photo processing sequence using different techniques available in Corel
Photopaint. In this series of photographs I took a picture of an
aircraft on the ground and put myself in the cockpit high above the clouds.
The top
photo of the L-39 Jet Aircraft was taken at the Quad Cities Air show.
The second photo is of the webmaster announcing at the Lamoine Ramblers
Motorcycle club. The third photograph was taken while I was flying
with my brother in a Cessna 150 over western Illinois. Now I cut
the picture of the of the L-39 Albatross out of picture #1 and added it
to picture #4 above the clouds. Next I made a mask around my
head in picture #2 and let it sit while I went into picture #4 and cut
the canopy bars and instrument panel out of the picture then pasted it
back as an object. I now went back to picture #2 and copied my face then
pasted it as an object into photograph #4. Now I set the layers so
that the canopy and instrument panel were in the top layer and my head
was in the second layer behind the canopy. I repositioned the components
so everything was lined up then combined the object components with the
background. And, last but not least, I took a blue green tint and
painted it over my head so it looked like I was behind a tinted canopy.
