Click here.
The rest is just finding the right objects, adjusting hue, opacity, blur etc.

Re: Contest 142: Behind bars

Thanks Neal,

Here's how I distressed that wall.
On top of the original photograph, I put a hue saturation adjustment layer. Blending Mode Hard light, Saturation= 0.
Then above that, a photograph of an old wall. It was quite contrasty, almost black and whitish, so a blending mode of Multiply did the trick.

Same thing for the pipes. A picture of a rusty metal surface set to Hard Light (with layer mask of course to mask the wall)

Re: Contest 142: Behind bars

Well, have been away for awhile and wanted to try to get back into the swing of things!!

Too many layers, too much time and still too many things that bug me!

oh... took a little extra creative license...

(Maybe just call it 'view from the other side')
