Thread: Any photoshop pros want to help? Or think this is possible?

Tweet

I absolutely love the lenticular image dustin2dust had made. (See below)

I am not sure that I would be able to get my husband to do the makeup and posing for the second photo so I wondered if it might be possible to alter a photo we have (the nice one) to look creepy for the second part (bloody faces, creepy eyes, dirty or tattered clothes).

Does anything think this would work? Are there any photoshop pros out there that might like to try it for me if I email a picture?

oh now that is totally cool , dustin2dust that is awsome .

halloween princess , i would love to help you out i am clueless in that departement , i have paint shop pro but dont play enough in it to try this , but i too need to know how to make this , i love lenticulars

I'd be glad to do it for you if you'd like. I'm not a 'Pro' but I messed with it enough to at least attempt it. If it turns out good, I'd like to do one with hubby and I. In exchange, you have to tell me how you make it into a lenticular image.

Terra, that's great! An attempt is better than I could do as I do not have a photo editing program nor know how to use one. If you pm me your email I will send a couple photos. I am not sure if a smiling or non-smiling photo would be easiest to alter into "creepy" so I chose one of each. Although, my part of the exchange isn't so great. You have to send the two images into a company and the combine them. Here is the website Dustin2dust shared

You actually want to work with the original picture, it makes for a smoother transistion. I actually did my avatar in photoshop. You just neeed to find photos to composite with the original or use the brushes to add effects. There are several ways of aproaching this.

Glad to know working with the original photo is best since that's my intent. Your avatar is great btw.

Thanks for the info. I downloaded the software and am going to order some lenses, if I can get it to work I will let you know.

Problem with the software to make your own is that it does not come with the lens or screen that goes on top. If you don't have that, then it's just a messed up looking picture. They take the pictures, slice them lengthwise and mesh them together alternating a strip from one image and then the other. The lens on the top is what allows you to see one image or the other at one time instead of seeing the slices of both. The lenticulars that I have seen have the lens glued to the combined final image. I tried taking one apart to see if I could use it for a home made version and it didn't look to promising. The other thing is that the lenticulars I have seen in the stores have smaller ridges in the lens, which I'm guessing means smaller slices and the one I ordered has larger. This leads me to believe that there are multiple sizes you can slice the photos to making it even more difficult to find the correct lens.
Arastorm, have you found a place that sells the lenses? I searched but wasn't able to find anything.
The gal at Get Flipped was excited to do our picture because they usually do them at parties for normal people acting normal. BORRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIING!
I think my man and I are going to do a new one every year. It was a lot of fun and we both love looking at it. I need to start brainstorming what the next one should look like!

creepy....love it.
saw something like that at a flea market here is SoFla (Swap Shop)
looked cool....but ya' know....kinda boring...and pricey too....like $35 I think

Yes, I have found a few sites that sell lenses. The higher the number the more "slices" per say or beveled edges. The software actually allows you to define that. I am learning more as I go. The reason for glueing it or it having a sticky back is so that the lines in the picture do not get misaligned. I will keep you posted as I get more info. What is funny though is that Liquid Crystal picture frames are coming down in price and you can actually do so much more with them. You can use animated gifs or jpegs and add sound.
