My surreal image created today on photoshop. It is using my knowledge on merging and smart filters.

This is my second image done using the texture technique. When scanning my new texture, a pulled bit of cotton material, when i scanned it in i changed the dpi to 300 but kept it to 24 bit. I once again used the darken layer to create the blue effect but this time also added a painting that i had done previously which i had also scanned in and used the darken layer once again to hide the white background from the photo.

This is the image made using the 'texture' technique. This type of technique is mainly viewed in fine art images or maybe visual communication within an image. This image was made using photoshop. My base image was the image of london and my textured image was a scanned image of a scratched negative. On the scanner, i changed the image of the scratched negative to 600dpi with 24 bit colour. Once scanned i opened both images in photoshop, with the london as the base layer, I dragged the textured image on to the base image. This then covered my base image with the textured and so i dropped the opacity to see what i was doing. Then to create my desired effect I changed the layer of the image to 'darken' and this was my final image. I really like my final image as i believe the textured layer has given a more interesting view on to a dull, cliche photo of london. I like how the scratches within the image have still brought out the colours of the base image.
