It's gonna be cold...

... not so cold as it was a few weeks ago, but ...



Do you want to see how temperature dropped dramatically? Keep on reading:

It all started in the kitchen:
In Photoshop, I extracted myself from the kitchen, using filter> extract.


Now the shape can be isolated. I copied it using the magic wand and inverting the selection.


Then pasted the shape on the other photo, the plastic window of my freezer drawers:


Then,flipped horizontally and the blending of layers. I chose multiply blending mode.


Added one more layer, to provide a bit of foggy atmosphere:


I am addicted to Gaussian blur, so I duplicated the layer with myself, and applied filter>blur>gaussian blur, and blended the layer in multiply too.


And finally, the frame: Select with rectagle, copy and paste on new layer, then fusion options, shadow and bisel.

  2. Yep, Elements is really powerful, and a very good tool to start with, in fact I used to work with it before upgrading to cs3.
    The selecting tools are the same, blending modes too. It's got the basics, and sometimes that's enough.
