I was in a silly artistic mood this weekend and this is what I ended up with..
"My Favorite Show"
It all started with a trip to a fabulous antique shop where I nabbed a shot of a great old Zenith television.
I played in Remix a bit to 'mess up' the background. Normally I would have cloned or painted it out but I had a lazy moment and in the end I liked the way it turned out. I came up with these three versions and actually posted the color version on Instagram.
That same night I edited a sunflower photo in Leonardo by adding 2 texture layers by 2 Lil Owls and one of mine.
I wasn't happy with the foreground so I set it aside and went back to the TV because it just fascinated me. I thought about looking for a tv test pattern from back in the day then decided to put those sunflowers on it.
Since Leonardo saves your layered files, I reopened the sunflowers and imported the TV to the bottom layer.
Here is a trick I use for a lot of my masking, depending on what and how much needs masking. If I only need a small part of the photo to show, I'll actually mask it 'away'. Then hit the 'invert' button to reveal the part I want to see. I'll flip the invert back and forth, adding and subtracting until I have just what I need. I hope to do an actually edit on screen soon to show this.
Some rabbit ears would be nice.
Fun, fun Fun. And that TV is so wonderful. Excited to see your step by step of this effect.
