Graham 0 Report post Posted February 5, 2006 Hi Marcus, I use the full version of Photoshop, but it’s getting old, version 5.0 First I scan a set of wings into Photoshop, or open an insect photo. Then I erase everything except for the wings, and then typically make a few color and contrast changes, all of which can be done with other programs. Then I click on Edit.. Free Transform.. and turn the image so that the wings are either turned pointing straight up or to the sides, this way you can later layout more wings on a printable page. Then I double the canvas size (not the image, just the background) Then I make a new second layer in transparency mode. Copy the original wing and paste it on the second layer, then move it so that it is not located on top of the original. Then I select the second wing and click on Edit…Transform,,,Flip Horizontal. Than you will have two opposing wings, both identical. Then I change the wing sizing to be anatomically correct. Then make a new canvas sized 8.5” x 11” Then copy and paste the wings onto the sheet until the top row is full. Then I click on Layers…Flatten image, which then allows for copying entire rows at a time to past below. I hope this makes sense. When I scan a set of wings I usually pick the nicer of the two wings, discard the other one, and make a set of two wings from the good one. With stonefly heads and wing cases I get the bug perfectly horizontal and cut it down the middle, decide if the top or bottom looks best, and duplicate the process above to make nice printable stonefly parts. Instead of clicking Edit…Transform, Flip Horizontal, I click on Flip Vertical. I like playing with Photoshop, Today I started playing around trying to make a banner for the top of my web site. Haven’t decided if I like it yet, and all of the object as an separate layers, each of which can be tweeked. I’m sure to be playing with it more.

Graham 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2006 Thanks guy's, I enjoy playing around with Photoshop. To make the banner I just took a few of my fishing photos and layered them on a blank canvas, and resized and re-positioned each layer where I wanted them. Then using the eraser, with different opacity setting, anywhere from 30% to 80%, I blended the layers and let some layers have the image below it viewable. I guess its hard to explain, but it was fun making the banner. Graham Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
