Layer Masks

             

When you paint the layer mask black, the layer becomes transperent showing the bottom layer picture. When you paint it white, the layer which is being layer masked is opaque and shows completely. When you paint it grey, the layer which is being layer masked becomes translucent.

“Always Looking Forward”

a) I was trying to show that I am prepared and ready for the future. I consider whats to come.

b) I used a motion blur which was done to the whole picture. Also, a solarize filter was done just to the head. Lastly I used another motion blur to blur the orangish leave like pictures near the rear wheel of the car.

c) I used a overlay layer blend on the whole picture. A colour burn was done to make parts of the car gold (it was originaly blue). A linear light layer was used to create the pathway of light from the inside of the car to the left of the picture.

d) I used the special brush that creates leaves at the rear wheel of the car.
