Hi
Our forum regulars will know that we used to run a weekly challenge in the old Photoshop forums. We had to take a break, due to some issues with the way this new forum was handling the images, but I am very pleased to say that those issues have been resolved and Something for the Weekend returns.
So, for this weekend, I bring you a jail scene that I modelled in Blender 3D and textured using Adobe Substance. The scene is set, what will you make with it? Who, or what, will you put behind bars?
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.
- There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off your skills, or bring a bit of humour and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go!
To download the image below in jpeg format at 3000 x 2000 pixels and with an embedded ICC color profile (sRGB), hover over the image with your mouse and click on the circle with the arrows that appears 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 and attach your image using the Image button at the top of the posting box that appears. If posting a comment on someone else’s entry then please use the grey reply button next to their image post.
Have fun
Dave

Hi Dave,
your wonderful plastic scenery I, the layperson, can only deface it. But anyway, I dared it. As a trained mason, it challenged me. That's the reason why my colleagues and I subsequently must still fill the joints with fine cement mortar! Please be merciful to me, my PS-experience still is in its start-up phase!
P.S.
The originals of my for it revised photos I found in Adobe stock.

The floating wheelie bin has been captured (maybe).
Jane, that plan I mentioned...
Dean well spotted with the bars. My clipping path included those bars, so I think I might have got my layer orders mixed up. The clipping path was done in two goes because I hadn't realised the hole in the wall layer extended that far to the left, but that still does not explain it.
I have a trick of storing selections by filling that selection with a solid colour on its own layer, and turning the layer off. I like being able to reload that selection by Ctrl clicking the solid colour layer, and I often clip to that layer rather than use a layer mask on the clipped layer as I can distort the clipped layer or the filled selection layer it is clipped to. It's the same as unlinking a mask, but I think it gives me more control.
Right I have found the problem. When I was moving layers up and down the stack I left the left-side-bars layer one click too low leaving it clipped to the hole-in-the-wall layer (or its mask to be precise).
I found the hole with brick wall gap explosion
When I tried to find it again just now I had to resort to history as it needed that precise search criteria to find it again.
