VERMIN : They're heres...

This image is the first I have completed after switching from Photoshop Elements 5.0 to Photoshop CS3. The comparison in features of the two tools is like night and day. If you have ever used a basic image editing tool and been frustrated with the meagre options provided to you, take the plunge! You won't regret it.Here to delight you is a Tribute Image to that wonderful 1982 horror classic - POLTERGEIST - I hope Heather O'Rourke would be proud to be a Ratonga!

Hehehe, funny, and looks great. I gotta send a couple of guildees with a rat fetish for a look at this. Very nice job.

Thanks everyone for the kind comments - I appreciate the feedback. I really think the concept of wicked, mischief-making troublemakers fits Vermin perfectly, as you'll discover if you check our Guild Page at http://vermin.guildportal.com/Guild...80&TabID=983259

The hardest part (for me, since I have not covered it in my CS3 training yet) was the selective blurring of the edges of the character on the TV screen. I outlined the figure using a Layer Mask. The mask over the arms, collar and light sleeves was significantly blurred to make it look as though the light was coming through, but I blurred the mask less over the head since it was further away from the screen and even less over the heavier clothing. I'm pleased it worked. Oh, and a movie credit to Sindar from Vermin for posing as Billy for me. I also had great fun matching the fonts used in the poster

Ninibi - you have a PM
