I wonder what you would see through such a telescope? 🙂
For what it is worth, this edit was made way easier because of the new(ish) Free Transform > Warp feature. I just Ctrl click the area I need to move, and drag it into place. The way I approach an edit like this is to select the man's right arm and shoulder, and copy to a new layer, and rotate around the shoulder. I then Ctrl clicked the new arm position to load as a selection, and stroked that selection with a bright colour, and that showed exactly where I needed to make good under the arm. The same thing with the man's left arm, but this time in two stages making the forearm separate. IMO that gives a more natural hinge at the elbow than usiong Puppet Warp. FT Warp filled in the gaps. The back of the man's head and ear came from another picture of course.
Those naysayers, who insist CS6 is all they need, have no idea what they are missing, because there are so many new features that speed up our workflows, and older features that now work so much better.
I'm beginning to think I've got "Something for the Weekend" madness, I mean fancy producing something like this!
Almost got it...not bad for a 70 year-old man, is it?
Hi Jane,
I love the base image and would like to see it in it's original form.
It reminds me very much of one of my favourite nature images of Halnaker here in the UK.
Well, I didn't have to think about this one at all. There's a famous statue of the Duke of Wellington outside the Gallery of Modern Art in Glasgow.
It ALWAYS has a cone on his head. If the authorities remove it, it'll be back in hours.
Kind of an institution thereabouts. Much more difficult to get a picture without the cone.
