Pop-Art 3

NOTE to lurkers & snaggers - You are welcome to do the project, but DO NOT snag the images from this tute and post them in any other group.

This one is super easy. It works best with scenery, I think, but try anything you like. Experienced imagers will know how to do this, pretty much in one trip.

If you need pics here are some great resources:

You will need to use your fav extractor for these 2.

Free Foto

Free Desktops Note - Choose 640x480 from the dropdown under each pic, then go to the extractor.

(1)  At IM, resize your image to about 370x . Effects = gaussian blur at 10x10.  Out and SAVE.

(2)  Resize it again at 80% of that ^^ size. Add a 3x3 border of one of the darker colors in your image. Go to effects and use gaussian blur at 6x6 - 10x10. Output and SAVE.

(3) Now resize ^^ that one to 80%. Output and SAVE.

Ready to assemble - you can probably see how just by looking at the pic above.

Enter the largest one (1) first. Comp number (2) OVER, northeast -5-5 or just enough to move the outer border off the image.

Comp number (3) the same way. Out and save.

Now resize your original to fit in the middle of the pic. I added a border around mine to set it off.

Comp that & offset a bit so that it makes a nice presentation. See above for visual.

Add any other borders or frames you like, and your done! Note - pop art doesn't have flashy frames, so keep it simple.

Other examples.
