Puzzling images


This image of a 32" x 24" painting was created by scanning four times from each corner to collect the whole image. Then in Photoshop I put all the images back together using techniques that John  demonstrated for assembling a panorama from a photo series. It is like putting a puzzle together. 

One of the images is selected to add the other images to. The canvas is enlarged to accommodate the additional images. Make it plenty big, it can be cropped later. All the images are cut and pasted into the enlarged canvas. Each pasted image appears as a new layer. For each layer set opacity at 50% or less and move image to align. To fine tune placement use the arrow keys when using the move tool.

Kent, this is a really moving piece! i love the colors and that it is abstract. Cool that you scanned it in that way and put it back together!
You better put this in the UAS Student Art Show!
