I went over to my former home town of Totnes in South Devon UK.,this morning having checked that high tide was at 09,56 and all was still with the River Dart like a mirror and beautiful lateral warm light. A similar scene to my earlier Reflections of the Past image that was taken with my trusty old Nikon D100. Still getting accustomed to all the features on my recently purchased Nikon D300 but was more than pleased with the results of the images I took this morning, this one having little editing, just a slight perspective crop and a little sharpening.

Not sure if this isn’t a bit too Imaginary Foundation, but I think the message is important. We need to wear more hats, and I don’t mean baseball caps and beanies, I mean trilbys, fedoras, panamas, boaters, bowlers and toppers. Even a flat cap would do, as long as it’s on the right way round and doesn’t have ‘Kangol’ written on it. It would solve a lot of world issues I think.

Controversial home page and no more holidays for Peter
by RedBubbleHello all, Well it seems that I shouldn’t be allowed to go on holidays! For the last two weeks I’ve been hanging out on a beach in Fa…
Hello all, Well it seems that I shouldn’t be allowed to go on holidays! For the last two weeks I’ve been hanging out on a beach in Far North Queensland – boring my daughter with early morning photo sessions: And over these two weeks a couple controversies of have popped up on RedBubble that I feel need to be addressed. Principally, there was the homepage from yesterday: This homepage has been interpreted as anti Iraq war, anti American and anti US soldiers fighting the Iraq war. This was not the intention of the home page. The staff of RB take it in turns to select the home page and the creator of this particular home page wrote to me: My sole intention was to display a selection of silhouette / stencil t-shirt designs that were a credit to their creators. I apologize unreservedly to anyone who has been offended by this home page. Philosophically, we view RedBubble as a platform. It’s a platform for people to share their ‘creative genius’ (art / design / et cetera) – to enjoy the work of others – to exchange ideas – to be encouraged and inspired – to learn and grow. Our role is to provide and monitor this platform – it’s not our role to take sides. We strive to be impartial and independent. There are ground rules for RedBubble – and they exist to help us to cultivate an open and supportive environment. But when it comes to individual topics we want to ‘stay out of it’ except where things start to go outside of the guidelines. The home page was a mistake as it could be interpreted as an editorial endorsement of a particular view on the Iraq war. We make no editorial comment on the Iraq war – and we will be more careful to stay impartial with future home pages (and other places in the site that can be viewed as editorial). Again I apologize unreservedly for any distress we have caused with this homepage. The home page controversy also leads me to the broader issue of dealing with ‘hot’ topics on RedBubble. Some have suggested that we should ban any material that touches on politics or religion (hot topics). I don’t think this would be good for RedBubble – in fact I think it would diminish the site. Art can help us ‘see’ the world – it can help us to better understand the experience that is life. And politics, religion and other such ‘hot’ topics are often very important components of our world and our lives. As such I think they deserve to be the subject of artistic reflection – and subject to debate and discussion. To leave them off the site would be to create a conspicuous emptiness – and would limit the journey we might each be able to make with RB. However, I do acknowledge the importance of ensuring that ‘hot’ topics are handled and debated appropriately – and that we don’t have all the infrastructure for this at the moment. For example, there was a recent forum thread on homosexuality and the church – and this thread was unfortunately de-railed by constant, and in some instances highly offensive, generic attacks against Christians. Notwithstanding this setback, we are committed to the creation of the features, processes and culture that allow a controversial debate to be conducted on RedBubble – without the eruption of world war three. This is really hard to do on the Internet – because without verbal and non-verbal cues written words are easily misinterpreted. But we think it’s important. Please bear with us (and help us) as we work towards a better way of handling ‘hot’ topics. I think the next thing we’ll build is ‘moderated’ forum functionality – where selected ‘hot’ topics have every entry vetted before publication. But perhaps the most important thing we can all build is a culture that’s accepting of ‘hot’ topics. A culture where things can be debated and discussed without it becoming personal. A culture where openness is encouraged and patience is shown. A culture where we strive to respect different perspectives. Anyway – it’s midnight on my last day of ‘holidays’ and I’ve got to pack. The principal purpose of this journal entry was again to apologize for any offense caused by yesterday’s home page. As always your comments and reflections are welcome. -Peter

More Effects For Portraits In Photoshop
by Alison JohnstonThe start image is brought to us by mirimcfly over on Flickr, you can find it HERE...
The start image is brought to us by mirimcfly over on Flickr, you can find it HERE The image is available with a Creative Commons License, which you can read about HERE You’ll notice that the image is a little flat i.e. not very much contrast going on, and this will suit the type of effect you are going to do very well. The settings are relevant to this image 1024X768 @72dpi, but personal taste has a lot to do with the settings as well, so please experiment and don’t take the settings I apply as stock standard. There are a gazillion ways that you could finish this effect with, I’ll show you a couple of different ways at the end. I’ve added a comparison image below of the original colour image, the desaturated image and a (maybe) final version of the image and also a look at the layers you will using. Open the image, Ctrl + J to duplicate the layer, I used a black and white adjustment layer set to Green Filter to desaturate the image. If you have anything before CS3 you won’t have this available to you, so I have added the image above for you to work with (incase you were wondering what that was for). Open both images – the Start image and the desaturated one, then make sure the move tool is selected by pressing V on the keyboard. Hold down the shift key and drag the desaturated image onto the coloured one. Then duplicate the desaturated layer. If you have CS3/4 you can use the Green Filter and then Merge down and then Ctrl + J to duplicate. You should have 3 layers – the original colour layer and 2 desaturated layers. Change the blend mode of the top layer to Overlay and go to Filter>Other>High Pass and use a radius of 20 pixels. Click OK to accept that and then hold down the Alt key and click on the add new vector mask at the bottom of the layers palette to assign a black (hide all) mask to the layer. If you’re working along with the same image as I am then you can simply brush back in the face,neck, ear, hands, arms with a white soft edged brush. You want the High Pass effect to be visible on those parts. See image below. Make the mask pretty accurate because we are going to use it over and over again throughout this project. Ctrl + Shift + Alt + E to stamp visible then go to Filter>Blur>Shape Blur, use the Hexagon shape set to a radius of 5 pixels. Take the layer opacity down to 30%, blend mode set to normal. Ctrl + Shift + Alt + E to stamp visible again, change the blend mode to Overlay and then go to Filter>Other>High Pass and use a radius of 10 pixels, take the layer opacity down to 50% add a layer mask by Alt + clicking on the Add Vector Mask at the bottom of the layers to add a black mask (hide all). Hold down the Alt key and drag the mask from the first High Pass layer onto the layer mask, let go when it is over the layer mask thumbnail – a small dialogue box will appear asking you if you want to replace the mask click yes. You should end up with something similar to the image below. Ctrl + Shift + Alt + E again to stamp visible and then go to Filter>Blur>Shape Blur and choose Hexagon with a radius of 5 pixels. Take the opacity of the layer down to 50% blend mode set to normal. This blur will be used on the b/ground, not the man, so add a layer mask by clicking on the add vector mask at the bottom of the layers palette (white mask). Grab the layer mask from the layer below Alt + Click + drag and drop it onto the layer mask thumbnail. Ctrl + i to invert the mask. You might have something like the image below. You could leave the image at that if you wanted to. Maybe give it a bit more contrast and a sharpen, or you could carry on doing some more things to it. In the image below I’ve used a Hue/Sat adjustment layer set to colorize with Hue 200 and Saturation 5 Brightness to 0 – opacity set to 50%. I’ve used the mask to confine the adjustment to the man. In the next example, I’ve dupicated the original colour b/ground and dragged it to the top of the stack, changed the blend mode to soft light and taken the layer opacity down to 50% The next image shows what happens if you leave the blue adjustment layer turned on underneath the original coloured layer. Next, I decided that I didn’t like the quite white background of the composition so I added another Hue/Sat adjustment layer, chose colorize and used Hue 25 Sat 10 changed the blend mode of the layer to Multiply and took the opacity down to 75%. I used the mask again to isolate the effect to the background. Next I used a Levels adjustment layer and took the middle slider to 1.25, then used a radial gradient on a mask to lighten the image in the centre. Then I used a vignette to darken down the edges. Next I used an S curve in a curves adjustment layer to give it a bit more punch and confined the effect to the man with a mask and finally I used a High Pass layer to sharpen the image, radius set to about 2 and a mask to again confine it to the man. Below is my final image, if you have any questions, just ask. Have fun!

This was taken on a lake, at Oakbank, in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia, Australia. It was early morning, so there was still some mist around, on the lake. Tripod was used. There is nothing better than being up early on a cold winter’s day and being greeted with such a beautiful setting. A Canon DSLR EOS 350D camera was used. I took this because of the incredible light, mist and mood that it offered. It was also my husband and his sister bonding very early in the morning.

Taken from Kings Tableland, over looking the Jamison valley in the Blue Mountains, NSW. Thanks to Leeo for nominating this image for Pay it Forward. Here’s what Leeo said about this image: / Foggy images are one of my all time faves, and this is one of the best that I have ever seen! The fog / low cloud is just incredible! The lighting on the cliff faces of the blue mountains is just beautiful & the Anticrepuscular Rays in the sky just finish it off beautifully Thanks again Leanne.

Perast, Montenegro.UNESCO protected. / . / feautured in The Mysterious Balkans group. / . Perast lies beneath the hill of St. Elijah (873 m), on a cape that separates the bay of Risan from the bay of Kotor (two smaller bays within the Boka Kotorska) and overlooks the Verige strait, the narrowest part of Boka. The average yearly temperature in Perasto is 18.3°C, and the number of sunny days is 240 (or around 2,500 sunny hours per year). Near Perast there are two small islands: one is called St. George island, and the other called Gospa od Škrpjela (Our Lady of the Rock), and each of them has a picturesque chapel. Gospa od Škrpjela is particularly interesting given that it is the only artificially built island in the Adriatic, with an area of 3,030 m² — it was built upon a rock (Škrpjel) after two venetian sailors from Perast found a picture of the Virgin Mary on it in 1452. Venice owned the city between 1420 and 1797. Perast was part of the Venetian Albania. The city’s sixteen Baroque palaces were mostly built in this period, too, as were its seventeen Catholic churches and two Orthodox churches. The old city does not have a defensive wall, but instead it has nine defensive towers, the most important of which is the tower of the Holy Cross. These were built by the navy of the Venetian Republic in the 15th and 16th centuries. / The two islands off Perast. Perast was at its peak in the 18th century under the Venetian Republic, when it had as many as four active shipyards, a fleet of around one hundred ships, and 1,643 residents. At that time the most beautiful buildings arose in this fortified town. Many ornate baroque palaces and magnificent dwelling-houses decorated the town of Perast, full of typical venetian architecture1. The population has since decreased to 430 in 1910 and around 360 today. The fleet was dissolved by the rise of the steam engine. From 1941 to 1943 during WWII, when Mussolini annexed the territories around kotor to the Kingdom of Italy. The area was part of the Italian Governorship of Dalmatia and was called “Provincia di Cattaro”. After 1945 Perast was restored to Yugoslavia and now is part of the independent Montenegro. In the last census there were: 146 Montenegrins, 101 Serbs, 29 Croats, 10 Yugoslavs, 3 Bosniaks, 1 Macedonian, others: 59,TOTAL: 349. / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—- Should I think to give it all-should i claim to give it all? / In a world where not much ever seems / To last long. / If the naked eye won’t see-if we make it i won’t see / It’s broken.

Masking - It's more than black and white - Photoshop Tutorial
by Alison JohnstonWe all know about masking – White Reveals, Black Conceals or Hide All (Black) Reveal All (White). So what about the other 253 shades/ton…
We all know about masking – White Reveals, Black Conceals or Hide All (Black) Reveal All (White). So what about the other 253 shades/tones inbetween, have we forgotten about them, and how can they benefit us. We can use masks to precisely perform an adjustment/filter/effect on an image, but also use it to give varying degrees of the adjustment to certain parts of an image. Think of it in terms of 255=white 100% revealed 128=grey 50% revealed or 50% hidden, whichever way to want to look at it .. and 0=black 100% concealed. It’s all those different shades inbetween that can add an extra dimension to an image – or as Chris Orwig likes to say “Subtle, yet Significant” You can borrow my image to practise on if you like, copyright is mine etc., Open the image and duplicate the b/ground layer by pressing Ctrl + J on the keyboard or dragging the layer to the create new layer icon at the bottom of the layers palette. Take a few moments to look at the image (your image, if you have one of yours open) and really think what you want to do with it and where you want the viewers attention to be focused. In my image I’d like to hit some of the b/ground with a Gaussian Blur to increase the shallow Depth of field. I’d also like to do something with the green stem sitting right in front of the flower. Cloning it out might be a pain in the bum, so using some of the Gaussian Blur on that might be a good idea. I’d also like to take the back petals a bit more out of focus, but not a great deal. You can do all that on one mask using different greys as well as the standard black & white that we associate with masking. Go to Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur and I’m going to hit this with a 10 px blur – you might want to choose something lower or higher. Hold down the Alt key and then click on the Add Layer Mask icon at the bottom of the layers palette, you will be presented with a black mask (hide all). Make sure the f/ground colour is set to white and choose a soft edged brush and start painting over the b/ground area. Zoom in and out as necessary Ctrl + the plus key to zoom in – Ctrl + the minus key to zoom out. Hold down the spacebar to temporarily get the hand to move around the image. If you make any mistakes while doing this, simply hit the X key on the keyboard to get black (provided your b/ground colour is black) and paint over to fix. You may end up with something like the image below. You can also check on your painting abilities by holding down the Alt Key and clicking on the layer mask. See image below. Hold down the Alt key and click on the layer mask to go back to the normal view. You can paint directly on the mask to make sure you have everything selected. Lets have a look at that two petals at the back of the flower. I don’t want them to be waaay out of focus like the b/ground, so I’m going to try a 50% neutral grey i.e. 128, 128, 128. Bring up the Colour Picker and in the RGB section use 128 for each of them. Paint over the two petals behind the flower. Your layer mask will now look something like the image below Okay, now lets deal with the leaf thing. I don’t want the blur effect completely revealed like the b/ground and I don’t want it as subtle as the petals, so lets try a darker grey. Bring up the colour picker again and in the RGB boxes try 200 and paint over the stem/leaf thing. Your mask might be looking similar to the image below. We really need to do something about the bright green. Click on the little ying yang symbol at the bottom of the layers palette and choose Hue/Saturation from the menu. Choose greens from the drop down menu at the top of the dialogue box. Use the eyedropper tool to select one of the greens, then use the eyedropper with a + sign next to it to add some various shades. Take the saturation slider all the way down to -100. Click OK to accept that change and then click on the white layer mask and press Ctrl + i to invert it (black – hide all) Open the colour Picker (by clicking on the f/ground colour) and pick 64-64-64 for the RGB colours – paint over the stem/leaf. Change the f/ground to a neutral grey 128-128-128 and paint over the b/ground area. Your layer mask might look something like the one below. Create a new Hue/Saturation adjustment layer, and this time just increase the Saturation by +15 on the Master. Click on the white layer mask and then use Ctrl + i to invert it. I used a white brush to paint over the main flower petals and then took the layer opacity down to 50%. You can carry on doing this to your hearts content, at the end of the day you will probably want to sharpen selective areas as well. You’re going to do a Stamp Visible (you may want to phone a friend to help with this keyboard shortcut) Make sure the topmost layer is selected, then Ctrl + Shift + Alt + E will place all the layers below in to one single layer, whilst still retaining the layers below. If you adjust the layers below, the adjustment will not be visible on the Stamped layer. Once you’ve done that, duplicate the layer and change the blend mode to Overlay. Go to Filter>Other>High Pass and choose a radius of 3 pixels. Hold down the Alt key and click on the Add Layer Mask icon at the bottom of the layers palette. The mask will be Black (Hide All) Go about the business of selecting various shades of grey – white etc., to bring some areas into sharper focus than others. Just to finish off this image you may want to create a new selective colour adjustment layer and choose whites from the drop down menu – make sure Absolute is checked at the bottom of the dialogue box. Move the Yellow slider to about +10, click OK and then click on the layer mask and press Ctrl + i to invert it. Use a white brush to take out some of the glaring white areas and then take the layer down to 75%. And there you have it. You will probably take much more care than I have. Have fun!

Well October was a busy month. Here’s a few interesting stats from the last month: - 1,981 sales notifications sent; / - 7,812 items of art ordered; / - 90,000 new works uploaded; / - 5,000 new members; and / - 350,000 comments. But stats don’t tell you everything. We’ve continued to receive feedback from people on how the RedBubble community is helping individuals rediscover their creative passion – and this is awesome! Your encouraging and supportive comments are powerful. And a short note on comments – the longer and more meaningful comments are the ones that people have found most encouraging. It makes people feel that others have taken the time to really study and consider their work – a sign of respect and a huge compliment! We’ve also received lots of feedback on how people would like to see RedBubble evolve – and we’re listening to this feedback. We’re not always able to act on all suggestions and even the suggestions we want to act on often take a while to make it out the door. So please be patient with us. Our philosophy is to listen and adapt. We often always launch things at a very early stage and then listen to your feedback to evolve the feature. Groups is a good example of this. We launched a very early version of groups and we knew it wasn’t the final destination. We will evolve groups over the next three months. A lot. If you want to know what’s on the road map for the next few weeks Justin’s written a good post here and if you want to understand what’s behind the RedBubble team more generally Pilgrim’s written a great post here . And finally we’re very keen to avoid a late rush of Christmas orders which will stress out our production folks – so we’re running a couple of promotions in November (hint: please place any Christmas orders in November). Here’s a free shipping coupon that you can all use as many times as you like: ‘Novembershipping’. Just enter this coupon during the checkout process to receive the free shipping offer. For all orders over US$100 (AU$110, GBP50, EUR70) we’ll also e-mail you a coupon after the order to the value of 10% of the transaction for your next purchase on RB. - Peter
