Some low opacity green was added to punch the green water patch back up to how it looks to my eye in the oil. <br /><br />But of course for fun and laughs, you should put your talent in recognizing digital messing around to use while reading this blog: <A HREF="http://photoshopdisasters.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Photoshop Disasters</A>.Glendon Mellowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03582347493421110738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-978531190643365040.post-19459835656562031032009-05-08T12:02:00.000-04:002009-05-08T12:02:00.000-04:00Hmmm... perhaps high contrast isn't the phrase I w...Hmmm... perhaps high contrast isn't the phrase I was looking for.<br /><br />But there's a particular crispness of image that you can get with Photoshop that is strongly reminiscent of photography. When I see that 'photographic' look in an obviously hand-drawn image, I tend to assume that Photoshop or some similar program has been at work.<br /><br />The way the waves twinkle was the tipoff. Tell you the truth, keeping this effect under conscious control is something I try and do in my own work.<br /><br />Man, have I developed a ridiculous skill set or what?

So to answer you Sean, it's kind of both. <br /><br />How could you tell? What did you mean by high contrast?Glendon Mellowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03582347493421110738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-978531190643365040.post-28060802866745322912009-05-08T01:50:00.000-04:002009-05-08T01:50:00.000-04:00Looking good, dude.
