My first real photoshopping effort... comments?
I turned the waterfall from static to "wannabe-flowing". That's all I did, those people really were there...

Of course, doing this by leaving the shutter open for x amount of seconds would cause the dingdongs in the picture to move about and get all blurry...

I've yet to apply barrel distortion correction, too...



The original was taken 4 years ago with a crap camera (for an SLR, it lacked every exposure feature you could think of... :mad:) and scanned it with my dedicated negative film scanner. :9


Just wait until you see the next in my "Oh the irony!" collection... rock climber just south of the sign saying "Don't climb here". Not a photoshop, just a funny pic.

4. Don't apply barrels
It's dangerous to mix barrels and waterfalls. :D

7. Nice
Falls looks great (that's always a tough one)

One thing: water looks like it's falling at an angle. Is that the barrel distortion?

8. Bingo
It was a very crap camera. But Paint Shop Pro 9 that I also use has great one-click de-distortion filters and I will not buy Photoshop 8 just for the sake of those... besides, one program can't do it all.

Chances are I'll do the barrel distortion then re-apply the procedure to make the falls look like it's moving... but I'll try the de-distortion filter first. O8)
