Double Exposure Style in Photoshop We've featured quite a few posts and images with the effect most call double exposure. This technique consists of 2 images superimposed. There are some really nice examples with very intricate overlaying, usually with faces of people mixed with photos of nature. So in this tutorial/case study I will show you how to create this double exposure effect using Photoshop and some stock photos. Step 1 Open Photoshop and start a new document. Step 2 Isolate the girl from the background using the select tool. Step 3 Now let's add the second image for the double exposure experiment. Step 4 Duplicate the photo of the branches to make them mor compact. Step 5 Now put both images together. Step 6 Mask the photo of the girl with the branches selection. Step 7 Time for some refinements, especially on the edges and to make them look random and not so uniform. Step 8 Duplicate all layers and merge them into one. Conclusion Resize the layers to place the girl in the center of the document. Applications

World of Level Design. Game Level Design and Game Environments. How to make birds fly good 10. Put some effort in Now we have gone some way to creating a realistic cycle, but what if we have to show our character flying under strain? Perhaps carrying something heavy. In this situation there is a temptation to revert to the up/down ratio problem I showed before, with the wings rotating faster down than up. Click to Play Looking at the osprey's up/down humerus ratio as it struggles to get air bourne, I count a fairly constant 12 frames up to 20 frames down, (a ratio of 1/1.67). * Ospreys are medium/large bird, reaching 60cm length. for comparison an eagle owl can reach a length of 75cm ( humerus ratio1/1.7788 ), a barn owl reaches 45cm (humerus ratio 1/1.42) One would think it would make sense for a bird under strain to move it's wings faster to stay in the air. Another situation where a bird is exerting increased effort in flight is during take off. In the image above I have taken the highest and lowest points achieved by the wing tips (note: not the humerus).

Pressure-sensitive freehand drawing of vector paths that are editable with the Illustrator Width tool? Reiterating a bit of what you've posted in your question..... By far the best tool I know of for Illustrator where natural drawing is concerned is DrawScribe from www.astutegraphics.com. Edit as of Jan 2014 DrawScribe has been folded into Astute's DynamicSketch plug in, same functionality shown here (plus more) but with a new name. This does everything you've outlined, as well as remaining standard AI art. It merely provides a different method for creating that AI art. (Of course it's easier if you zoom in to select those finicky width points. ;) ) I realize this is a third-party, $$$, solution. The WidthScribe Tools from Astute Graphics are indeed an easy way to apply width profiles to paths. One additional note on the plug ins above. If you must stick with the standard install of AI, there really isn't a great tool for what you are after.
