I had fun the last time we did this for a SC, so please add me to the list. I'm kinda busy, but I'll submit when I can if that's OK. Thanks.

ETA: Can't let Robert (Bear_Music) be the only one around the house having fun with this ...

Is it too early to start? Oh wait, I never did stop. I did the standard flip'n'blend & then after I flattened it I added a Distortion layer to Spherize it & blended it on Screen. I don't get as much time for this as I would like. This thread better take off pretty soon, I'm anxious to begin!

LOL

I guess this could be the Flip and Blend Oct/Nov SC.

Same original, different crop, different flip.

Point of order, ma'am: we don't flirt with addictions, we surrender to them. If flirtation is possible, it's not an addiction :-)

Carry on!

Since Halloween is on my mind, and since it's my birthday tomorrow and that gives me license to indulge myself, here's a flip-n-blend with a seasonal flavor. Image was made by taking a square crop of some leaves and making a montage of 4 versions, flipped horizontally and vertically to create a symmetrical, square image, then the combined image was rotated 90 degrees and blended.

In keeping with the seasonal theme:

So I have been playing around with this today.

Here is the photo in a square crop


I really like the full image except for that hard line you see running down both sides


I have tried to get rid of it but can't do it. Anyone have any ideas how to blend that hard line in with the rest of the photo?

I think Robert ( Bear_Music) had a solution to that in the last SC. Check out the thread linked in the first post.

Thanks for the reply cpanaioti. I tried what he posted. Still can't get rid of the line. Think it because it mostly changes from black to white at the line so no matter what I do it is there.

These are the lines Bear_Music was talking about, I think. The strong vertical & horizontal lines in black in this image. I don't mind 'em, butsome people do.You could probably get rid of yours by slightly fealthering & then erasing the edge. I have the same lines you object to, in my image, but (again) I don't mind 'em.

Thanks. I am going to have to spend some time to see if I can get rid of them and make it look good. If not, I will just live with them.

Here are a couple more early ones, the first a picture of a power substation and the second a truckload of garlic ... I'm experimenting more with the rectangular shape and without the "traditional" final 90° rotation.

I have found that I like that a lot better. The one I posted and asked the question of is a combination. I liked the center before the 90 but the outside of the circle after. So I erased the center before I merged the layers.

I'm game this time. Saw the last SC on this and thought it was pretty cool, but never gave it a try back then.

Well I must admit I love the wretched excess of color I get with these. Never knew it until this PP revealed how I seem to select comps with a lot of detail. The sad thing is how much I loose when I save for web. I cropped this one down to just the center, but still...

One of the things I like to do is auto-correct for tone, contrast, & color every time I flatten, to brighten it up a bit. I like bright colors. But sometimes a white bg is fun. This one is me showing some restraint in the bright color.

I like how these often turn out very science fiction-like. Good fun.

Oh, thank you!

You're welcome. When I pick up again on these in November I will try to remember to list the various edits, blend modes and such as well.

Those are really nice variations! Sorry I don't have time to comment more right now, but I like the spirals and the asymmetry ...
