| new edit |
Since completing this shoot several months ago, I have gone back to re-visit the edits I produced from the shoot to help improve the quality of my best work. The original 'melting' photos I produced were created using a method of different brushes, and then adding shadow to the layers to add depth to the images. I initially thought that the effect looked really effective, but once I had printed the image off, you could tell that the colours didn't match up as well to the skin as I had have liked, and it clearly looked 'painted-on'. I have now changed my mind about the images that I produced and I wanted to improve the results.
I came across the liquify tool in Photoshop recently and I had never really used it before now. Using this tool, I drew strokes down from the hand to give the impression that it was melting, and I think it looks a lot neater and more realistic, as it is simply the hand's properties being drooped down, so there is no need to worry about the colours not being correct or the shadows looking unrealistic. I am definitely going to replace the work I produced using the initial technique with this new technique I have learnt.
