Lost Valley
This is four images combined, from Wales and the borders, each selected for their merging qualities. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did creating it .. :))
The four images are
Clun castle
Pistyll Rhaeader
Elan valley
Clouds ( mist at the bottom of image )
DAC group info …...
Each desired element was selected and put on a layer
Layer masks were applied to each of the layers
Unwanted areas were painted out with a soft black brush
I applied Adjustments to each layer
When happy I merged all layers and saved.

Stuart Chapman
It’s hard to say as I don’t know how much enjoyment you had making it. But I am enjoying it a lot, I can tell you that. I would have never known that was 4 images (did that take 32 hours?) had you not said. Truly magnificent and so very well blended together – even the light is consistent. Bravo
richiedean replied
Cheers Stu, surprisingly, it only took about 4 hours for this one ….

Rhana Griffin
Holy Jebus on a popstick!!! That is STUART? Our very own little hobbit? Oh he is soooooo going to be Frodo to me from now on. Actually, Frodo is far too serious. Maybe more along the lines of a Merry or a Pippin do you think? =)
richiedean replied
Oh definitely a Pippin, wish I’d been able to video Stupot at the RB meet and put him up on facebook …. :))
Rhana Griffin
Hold on… let me just try something.
(growls in her very best Gandalf voice)
