Marseilles Triptych and hung on a Wall+Painting of it all

Postby Phelon » Sat Sep 06, 2014 2:59 am

Hi Everybody,

I like to enhance my pictures and create a better looking picture than what I took with my camera. I posted this picture of the Marseilles fishing and tourist port using Tony's triptych frame. This made it easier to hang a large picture on the wall; I thought I would show it hanging since some discussion recently was whether their posted picture was worth looking at on a wall. I like this picture of boats in a port, and enjoy seeing it on a wall. It was simple to make and relatively easy to hang. ;)

PS I would also like to see the name of the effect author displayed when making an effect choice, and I hope more people show their SPE photo/art work.

Loved the image the first time I saw it Phelon - STUNNING WORK!

Once mounted on your wall in Tony's triptych frame it looks, and this seems impossible, EVEN BETTER - Wow!

Lovely room and contemporary minimalist environment to show this BEAUTIFUL ARTWORK - I'm sure it is a great conversational piece.

Yes this AMAZING work of ART would certainly find a place in my house, although I would not have the wall space to display as you have - I would need a cut-down version and that might not have the same impact.

The way that you have displayed your work creates a new ARTWORK that includes the room and furnishings and that gorgeous negative space around the triptych frame.

Brilliant!

Well done my friend - keep up the good work and stay well!

Regards,

Andrew

Hi Phelon, This is astoundingly beautiful! It must be so very satisfying to beautify one's home with one's own creation! I love the placement of the triptych in this room with these surroundings. It also adds dimension to the room - like looking out the window into wide open spaces.

Best regards, Eve

P.S. On a side note, I admire your ability to hang the three parts in such perfect alignment. Some of the pictures I have hung on my walls look like a drunken sailor was at work :)

Looks great! I have a couple of questions:
Is this actually hanging on the wall? Are those real frames or are those just the printed frames? I don't know why, but it just doesn't seem real for some reason???

Yes, same question. Real room or computer generated? Real pics or photoshopped (SPEed even) onto a photo of a room?

I noticed what appears to be incomplete masking around that tallest green leaf against the picture on the wall.

Hi Andrew,

My dear friend, your words here are dear to my heart; I waited a couple of days to see what response there was going to be to my picture(s). The picture on the wall is one I took in France and I thought to myself "what can I do to show this picture better?" It's rare to see a triptych picture, especially on SPE, but it's there for everybody to use. Well, even though I have a Canon 5100 printer, which would do a nice job of printing 17-inch wide pictures, it costs a bundle ($1000) just to replenish the inks, and I couldn't do it right now. So I used one of my free stock pictures and used SPE's composite feature to make a 4-layer art work. I'm glad it so so astonishingly real, and I was happy with the look, but then DennB noticed, rightfully, that I missed some masking on a flower. So, I did some more work, and that was fun, and reloaded the new second picture of the "hanging" triptych. I didn't need the Blue puddy that Richard suggested, but that was a very good suggestion that I will keep in mind for next time.

I didn't want to lead everyone astray, and I could tell you all have eagle eyes when it comes to looking at pictures, and I enjoyed all your comments. I knew it looked good, and I held my breath and watched.... So, yes, the frames and triptych and made in SPE, and they are composed on a stock photo (which, as Andrew says "gives the furniture and hanging triptych a new artistic look", and used a 4-layer composite in SPE to bring it all together. (It was fun bringing in each of the three panels of the picture to the underlaying design and using the Select Image and Move, Resize, Rotate to visually get them looking right. The masking was the hardest part to blend the overlayment (the stock photo) with the three panels that were uploaded one at a time into the underlayment.

Thank you, Andrew, for enjoying my work, and your much appreciated comments.

My dear Eve,

I appreciate your comments, also. You were the first to notice the expertly hung panels, and I had a clue you realized something, but you gave me very nice credit. Thank you!

Richard,

Thank you for your sticky putty, (Blue Tak) suggestion. I had to look it up on the internet, and I will use it.

DennB.,

You brought the house down noticing that my masking needed a little more work. So the new picture is a result of your eagle eyes.

The main purpose here is to become aware of compositing and using it for much more than replacing backgrounds and skies. I know of some artists who use dozens of layers in composing their works of art. Remember to keep saving your sessions in case, and there usually is, a reason to go back and modify something.

Best regards to all of you. Love you, too.

Phelon
