Umber Corset

[ibclare]

I made this manipulation today. I kind of hesitate to post as I made a newbie mistake, and will have to find the time to redo it. At least I made my selections on the original docs. So I took high resolution models and moved them into a low res background. I always tell new-to-PS members to stay as high res as possible, and today I make the near fatal mistake myself, lol. I will get around to redoing it, but just now, sigh . . . or maybe I'll pick a different environment and post my versions here. .....

2nd version. I have never spent this short a time on a manipulation as I have on these two, but the idea behind them was was pretty simple.



Same models.

Clare, turn your model in the Umber corset around in your second image to match the light source.

EDIT: well I don't know about that now that I look at it more closely.

Well, I will just add shadow to the left side then. The right side, her face in particular would be hard to change.

It is a great " image idea" Clare...very nicely executed.
Sam mentioned to turn around the model in the foreground. I would also make her a bit bigger. And maybe put a frog with a crown in the tub, that would give the model a purpose. Or maybe leaping frogs from tub to tub? Then I would crop the image at the bottom.

Frogs, lol. I'll think of something. I don't know if she should be much bigger, but I'll check it out. I guess the tubs aren't that much larger than she is, huh. She could maybe drown in one as she is. I do like the tubs one better than the first. So, I'll think about it. If I give her purpose, it has to fit the ambiance, lol!
