4 recommendations | Creative Impressions #349 Hey there gang. I am throwing up some stock photos for you guys to play with this week, and I do mean 'throwing up'. No. Nobody is sick, but I've not chosen them for any particular reason, so there is nothing in particular that you must do other than to throw up some of your creativity when taking them on. Remember, no bigger than 1024 on the longest side, and I have not pre-sized them. Start your engines. Go................. -- JKK

OK, I was able to smooth out the color banding while still compressing the image by adding dither (noise) to the image layers. Adding dither blends the transition of the various shades making the banding invisible to the human eye. Cool stuff!

Hmmm... don't know what I did to cause that 'growth ring of a tree' effect?
Anyone know what causes that?
I just found some info. It's called color banding. Reading up on it now.
AHA! I compressed the image too much. I found the original swirl background at a much higher quality 3D image (2560 x 1600) on another website and used it instead of JKK's image. Then I compressed the image before animating.
Oh, here's the higher resolution 3D image in case someone else wants to use it.

Same base image as the first one above, reworked through a program called Pixlr Express. |

What program did you use to isolate the woman's image? That was really well done. |

Got to throw in some text at the moment for the Attachment button to show... God, how I love technology! I did this image this morning on my Nook HD while in bed and uploaded it to Dropbox. I'm in the living room now (in the evening), fired up the Nook HD+ that I keep there and attached the image from Dropbox to this thread.  |

6 recommendations | reply to jaykaykay You guys are fabulous. I spent most of the weekend in bed, having tweaked my back. It's better today, and I couldn't stay in bed forever. I am on my way back, but before I go, here's one for you all. I will allow the crabs to march out of sight and hopefully be back tomorrow for more. |

 DownTheShoreToday's GOP - Not Fit To ServePremium join:2003-12-02 Beautiful NJ kudos:13 | Feel better! |
