This is my entry to the Manipulate This Challenge held by *Tolkienmaster [link]

Stock used:
[link] by *sempiterna-stock
[link] by *sempiterna-stock

[link] by =nikkayla

Legal note:
:bulletblue: Not stock.
:bulletblue: Not to be used without permission.
:bulletblue: You are not allowed to modify or distribute it, either partially or totally.

Notes:
Mixed media category, as the wings are painted and not a photo (everyone noticed that, right? :lol:)

Tech data:
About 16 hours.
Photoshop CS5 only.

Process:
:bulletblue: First of all, finding the models' stock.
:bulletblue: Clean it, removing the background and picture noise. Don't use the eraser! Paint with black on a mask. You can "undo" painting with white on the mask ;)
:bulletblue: Each picture is saved in a single file, separately. Each image is contained in a layer group, along with a levels adjustment layer to normalize values. The mask is moved to the whole layer group.
:bulletblue: Then, the background stock is found. Same process as above.
:bulletblue: Elements are placed (inserted as smart objects) and arranged in the frame. This lets me change the original file and every other picture that "includes" it reflects the change.
:bulletblue: Adjust several pictures' levels, colors, etc. By changing the original and saving, the final image is updated.
:bulletblue: Paint the wings on a smart object.
:bulletblue: Save the image and "place" it into another image for the postproduction stage.
:bulletblue: Add a vignette, adjust overall toning (photo filter), add chromatic aberration (lens correction) and a bit of noise, to add some realism to the picture. Lacking these makes the picture look somewhat "fake".

Enjoy :)

que lindo1!:love: parece una foto de verdad, que buena elección de stocks! =D Me encantas las alas, por cierto. Hay poca gente que las haga bien, y tu eres una de esas pocas personas :hug:

I wonder what's in a book while it's closed. I know it's full of letters printed on paper, but something must be happening, because as soon as I open it, there's a whole story with people I don't know yet and all kinds of adventures and battles

Muchas gracias, cielo :hug: La verdad es que me ha llevado más tiempo seleccionar los stocks que limpiarlos, jajaja.

Gracias también por el comentario sobre las alas. Tampoco son muy allá, y la verdad es que he tenido que rehacerlas 2 veces :blush: Tal vez haya cogido suficiente práctica :rofl:

:smooch:

Por cierto, no hay problema en que sea "medios mixtos", ¿no? Para mí es un fotomontaje (al 90%, al menos), pero estrictamente hablando hay elementos pintados. No sé, a tu discreción :)

pues no parece que lleves mucho tiempo sin hacer fotomontajes =) Y cabo de darme cuanta que además las alas son pintadas! que bonitas! :love: a mi nunca me han salido. aunque no es que me haya esforzado mucho en ello, porque no tengo mucha paciencia... xD

por supuesto que no hay problema. la mayoria de fotomontajes son mixtos, y mejor así. Pintando se consiguen los mejores resultados. Yo en realidad lo considero parte necesária del fotomontaje.
