Practising Paintshop/GIMP...

[Marcel]

Hi Wojtec, I agree, but I also overdid it to test the two different effects as I had no idea what they really did.
What you suggest: I have no idea how to do that in Paintshop Pro, so it'll be a nice thing to find out. Will take me a while, but it'll be a nice thing to learn. I'll post results later.

 

[Wurger]

Photoshop has the Effect menu and there are some with their settings.I think Paintshop Pro should have the same options.If not use Color option froim Upper menu and then Colorize one.For getting colour you can can use a dropper ( in menu on left).

 

[Marcel]

Okay, found it:

 

[Wurger]

Oh... too much dark.Plese, try to use other tonalities.But idea is good.Also , try to gain a ghost effect.

Ah Marcel, in addition, is there possibility of removing the background under the Swordfish? In that way you will have white background and you can use transparency settings for better adjusting.

And can you send me PDF file of the project?

 

[Gnomey]

I agree with Wojtec. A lighter blue would be better whilst keeping the same transparent ghost effect.

 

[Marcel]

Sorry, I didn't really understand how the tool worked. Wojtek, I suppose you mean you want the PSD file?

 

[Wurger]

Oh sorry Marcel I must have been very tired.Of course PSD file.

 

[Marcel]

Here it is:

 

[Wurger]

OK.THX

 

[Marcel]

Blue... subtile

 

[Wurger]

Yep, looking better.
Here you are my version and PSD file for you.

 

[Gnomey]

Wurger, I think the blending of the blue in Marcel's version looks better - a little "cleaner" looking. That being said with some more transparency yours should also look better than it already does.

 

[Wurger]

You are right Gnomey But our idea was to avoid transparency at the Bismark hull area and make the pic with the Swordfish similar to sepia effect one but instead of yellow and brown tonalities using these blue from the background.

 

[Gnomey]

I see you mean something similar to this?

 

[Wurger]

Nop, the plane became unvisible in your pic.But colours are fine, the only thing which is a bit incorrect is the Swordfish shadow.Too inky.

What about now?

 

[Gnomey]

Looks good but the Swordfish isn't blue enough in my opinion.

Right might the Swordfish a little more visible and removed some of the shadow. Any better?

 

[Lucky13]

If it's supposed to be like a ghost airplane, it should be more see through I think....great work nonetheless fellas....carry on! 8)

 

[Marcel]

Well, not too much as it makes the a/c to faint to recognise, like you see in Gnomey's first pic.

Gnomey, I think the last one looks great. You're using Paintshop pro as well, don't you?

 

[Gnomey]

No, I use Photoshop CS3 Extended.

 

[Marcel]

Tried Photoshop CS3 again, but could make head nor tail of it. Effect are operating quite different from Paintshop
