Re: Challenge 290: a block of ice
Thanks Steve I created the ice using the 'ice cubes in the glass' method featured in the book, with a couple of applications of plastic wrap. The lettering was loaded as a selection and used to copy that portion of the background scene onto a new layer. I applied a Levels adjustment / gaussian blur and a little ripple filter. I think the displacement map would have worked well. Nick |

Re: Challenge 290: a block of ice
Thanks for the comments as always Steve... Thankfully, no - using Transform, Alt + Arrows, followed by Transform perspective, seemed to work, just! The worse bit was drawing / duplicating each of the rounded rectangles, and lining them up first. It seemed to take forever, and resulted in too many layers  !

Re: Challenge 290: a block of ice
 Hmm. I never really considered vertical perspective until today. That explains a lot. Now I'll grab my transformer and mess with those mountains on the horizon. And, perhaps I'll finally be able to use a photo of overhead clouds in an intelligent way._________________ Onward and upward! Excelsior! |

Re: Challenge 290: a block of ice
One more thing, if anyone is still reading. I discovered something on this exercise that I'd like to pass on: When using Plastic Wrap : Image / Adjustment / Selective Color / Neutral Colors I could change the color of the wrap itself! Overlaid on another colored layer yields great colorful things - real good for veins and arteries _________________ I aim to give pause. |

Thanks, Steve. Refraction? Ah! Gotcha. An easy adjustment for a big difference. You sure have a master eye. Nothing gets by ya! _________________ Lonnie |

Re: Challenge 290: a block of ice
Thanks Steve. I will have to revisit the horizon / perspective. I'm not too sure I understand what to do to fix it at this moment. |

Re: Challenge 290: a block of ice
Hi Steve. From my view that part of the C is lifted off the surface so would not meet the reflection.  |
