Hi
First of all thanks to @jane-e and @Trevor.Dennis for bringing us the last two challenges, also to all those who took part in them.
I got the idea for this week's starter image when thinking about the last perspective challenge. So I bring you this scene of an empty lift (elevator for my friends over the Atlantic). What can you now do with it?
The “rules”:
* Anything goes, as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright etc
* Anyone, and everyone, is welcome to have a go, whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert. This is not just for our forum "regulars".
* There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off, or bring a bit of humour and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go!
* The starter image is made available for you to use in this forum challenge only. Sorry to have to add this last one but it has come to light that some of the starter images have been taken (not by our regular participants) for other uses without permission.
To download the image below at full size, hover over the image and click on the circle with the arrows at the top right. Then, when the image opens in its own window, right click and choose “Save Image As/Save Target As” (or similar depending on your browser).
When posting back your image – please use the blue reply button in this first post. If posting a comment on someone else’s entry then please use the grey reply button next to their image post.
Have fun
Dave

How David Bowman got to the hotel room at the end of the Universe:
He took the elevator, of course.
By @Semaphoric
Where he met Marvin. "The first ten million years were the worst, and the second ten million years, they were the worst too. The third ten million I didn't enjoy at all. After that I went into a bit of a decline."
'Open the elevator doors HAL.'
'I'm sorry Dave. I am afraid I can't do that.'

"There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable."

The golden rule with frame animations that have multiple elements is the create all of the layers before you start making frames. If you realise something needs changing _after_ the frame animation has been started you need to be uber careful and save a lot. Then _when_ it goes pear shaped, go back to the last save and _don't try and fix it. Of course this only helps if you take your own advice. This comes under that acronym from the early days of the Internet. DAMHIKIJKOK

If I made just _one_ person spill their coffee, then my work here is done. 😃

I was having coffee when looking at this. Lucky it was on a table next to me not in my hand at the time 🙂

Dave, your work is truly breathtaking! It’s so photorealistic.
Well, here is a hallway with a different view.

Thank you K. Nice job - I like the way you extended the skirting board below the tank.

A great job with the people. They fit the scene perfectly, and even their eye lines are spot on. I don't know if you added a tiny shadow under their feet, or if that was included in the selection, but they look anchored to the floor. I's details like that, that make all the difference.

Thank you Trevor.
The masking of the people took quite a long time.
The shadow under the shoes in part I blended the original and then painted the rest.

why only 3... is that still a thing for Covid or because of the lightsaber?

The number varies according to what floor you are on and the integrity of your government.
