Creative Effects Challenge No. 170 - Three Photo Triptych

[hmca]

Nicely chosen images, Sepiana. I like your presentation as well.

Wanting to use my own images, the challenge is to find three that work together. Background texture was one of those textures that I had saved years ago but never used before.....inky textures.
It seemed to work well here.

Added a simple inner bevel and a drop shadow.

That's nice...

That was a good exercise - thanks Tom. From my bird collection and a pattern from textures.com

Thanks for trying this out tourerjim , and for sharing your layer stack.  I am curious about the purpose of the extra layer you have with each panel.  It is a little hard to tell because of the size, but it looks like one is a gradient and the other pure black.

WOW! There are many lovely 3-tychs here! It's given me an idea!!!

[Sepiana]

- Ran my Old-Fashioned Hand-Tinting action.
- Applied the Glowing Edges filter (Subtract blending mode, 100% Opacity).
- Applied an Adobe Paper Texture Pro (Ezekiel Plum, Overlay blending mode, 100% Opacity).
- Created the background with a texture by Meredith Images (Grunge Rust Mauve).
- Frame effect done with Filter Forge (Matching Frame).

bg is the gradient bevelled layer as shown in this image & the bird images have also been bevelled.

Like Ms. Anderson said when I was in grade 6, "Does not follow directions well."
Thanks for the thread and instructions Tom. I ignored them, and did my own thing which is pretty much the same anyway. I like triptychs .... except I cannot spell it. triptych tryptick It's always a mystery to me.

I think I get what you are doing, using that extra layer to provide the gradient on the bevel, yes?  Clever idea!

- Applied the Oil Paint filter.
- Applied my Stained Glass texture (Multiply blending mode, 75% Opacity).
- Created the frame effect with a Summer layer style by Panos.

HINTS FOR CREATING TEMPLATE

To duplicate your rectangle and place the others precisely in line with the first one:

For Mac Users: Hold down the Shift Key and the Option Key - grab your newly created rectangle and pull sideways --
the Option Key duplicates your rectangle - the Shift Key keeps the rectangle in a straight line

For Windows Users: I assume you use the Alt Key in place of the Option Key



To precisely space your rectangles, turn on the Grid -- View> Grid

I was experimenting with layer styles and gradients, etc. - finally decided I wasn't getting anywhere, so ...

HINTS FOR CREATING TEMPLATE

Thanks for those hints Janice!  They are very handy for this sort of task.  When using the grid (or guides), I find it useful to insure that Snap To is enabled (View | Snap To).
