Scanography with Borders

4x6 Blend


8x10 Blend

For this border effect I used the flexible brush tutorial to create that brushed on effect. After I got it how I wanted it to look I added a rectangle box and put a stroke on it. I wanted the colors to match and tried to get it as close as I could. I thought it turned out well.

Scanography

One Scan

This is my one scan image. I layered a bunch of my jewelry on the scanner and left the lid open. I turned off the lights so was able to get the black background. I liked how the scanner made little shine marks on a couple of pieces of jewelry. I boosted the contrast a little in camera raw.

Blend

For this blend I use an overlay blending mode to combine the little rocks and big rocks. Because I used a plastic covering over the scanner so I wouldn't scratch the scanner, I boosted the contrast and warmed up the temperature in camera raw. By boosted the contrast, I kind of got rid of that plastic glare.
For the flowers I used the quick selection tool in Photoshop to select the flowers. I just drug the flowers over on top of my rocks. I thought it turned out nice.
