>I'll have to see how well I can manipulate this effect, but if I can it could be good for standalone images with single characters and no background.
well well, you have some interesting filters out there. And yeah, you´ve nailed it at where you have to apply it. Those pics with no background could receive a sense of depth with it. That and the shadow effect so far.


>I just felt a bit muddled and confused with the purpose of that one. My first thought seeing it was: "is that 3d. was he trying to make it look different or something?"
yeah, the picture itself is already 3D, just I don´t like the partial coloring in it. I thought that I was going to add a cold vibe with it and looking at it after posting said pic, I must say that I don´t get what I wanted at that moment either. A low point.

>I thought it was a forest. Good job on the trick. That is actually pretty impressive. You removed some secondary elements like the bubbles opens the door for other editing tricks. Certainly I can understand why this was one of the hardest.
It took me almost an hour and I was going to use the flawed effect way more than expected. I have had to put a lot of care with the brightness, contrast and saturation. If I went too extreme with them, I would have ended up with the blue tone.

I have been very picky with the words and I didn´t post the original on purpose. I used the flawed effect for making the bubbles disappear and subtly use it to give some form to non existent trees in the upper part. The rocks transformed into trunks and I had to intensify the color and shadows to fake that vibe.

All of that feeling like I had just simply blurred the picture when that blurriness played into my favor to pretend that something was there when there was nothing over to hold on.


>That reminds of a saying I have heard plenty of times from country folk that I've known. "Believe none of what you see and only half of what you hear" You have proven that part true by at least making that image a half truth.
