MMB2014 Tutorial #6

The Original photo...."Background"

First thing i did for this tutorial is creating a layer named "Marble". Using the CLOUD effect, then apply HUE and SATURATION to add a colour to it. Then, create another new layer named "Back Bump".

Created another layer named "Bump 2" which was almost the same as "Back Bump" just added in NOISE effect on it.

Followed by the creation of "Stone" layer.

This is another new layer named "Bark".

Followed by the last layer that we're going to prepare, the "Wallpaper".

My final art work after all kind of editing and adding effect.

Here we go!!!

In this tutorial 6, what i learnt the most was how to use the function of RENDER with applying Clouds or Fibers on the background of the photo itself. Other than that, i also learnt how to use the Lighthing Effect which i can make my photo like a spotlight is actually screening on the photo and use the technique of MOTION BLUR to create a wonderfull shadow on my photo.

It was a pretty amazing effect that i think it maybe usefull for me in the future during the preparation of the Assignment 1, the National Day of Malaysia.

Thank you and have a nice day.
