Here are a couple of the original images that were used to create the final montage. |
|
The background image was cropped, masked, tinted, blurred, and lightened while still keeping the main focus of the baby crystal clear. The blanket was cloned and extended for continuity of effect. |
|
Above is one image that was cropped/feathered and layered onto the background image. |
|
Insets can be tinted or vividly coloured for a dramatic effect, and edges were rubbed for definition. Colour adjustments were made to the main original photo. |
|
Depending on the original photo quality, portions can be enlarged for more emphasis as shown here with the tail. |

Pop art development |
|
Pop art starts with an original photo(s). Details are removed from the key subject. Depending on choice of style, images are converted to black and white. Several digital methods are used to transform the image into blocks of toned shapes. Areas are then removed or altered to enhance key characteristics. Outlines are added to sharpen edges. Colour is then added/altered to show definition. Layers of contrasting colour is added for bold effect. If an overlay or shapes are wanted this is then added to the background. |
