Very nice image and work, Robert!! #698484Carol Brill August 10, 2004
Beautifully composed, RoB, the bright colors and sharpness in this image are outstanding along with the effects! #699659Robert Mann August 10, 2004
Thanks, Murry, Leanne, Deborah, Duane and Carol! I appreciate it very much. Here is a downsized only version of the original for a little before and after look. I pained about removing one of the chairs and finally decided that the image would have a cleaner look with out it. Note: doing it post buzz made it a lot easier. Of course now that I am looking at it, there is an errant leg from the cropped 5th chair....OoopS! Thanks again! RoB #699675Joannie Bertucci August 11, 2004
Robert, terrific PS work on this image, especially seeing the original! The buzzed one has great colors and the effect has a texture to it the other doesn't seem to have. Am I understanding you right, that you selected the chairs and inverted, so does that mean the chairs are not buzzed? #701921Robert Mann August 11, 2004
Yes, Joannie. I selected the all the chairs and the table...When I buzzed with out the selection, all the pattern detail in the furniture was simplified away and I did not want to lose it. So the furniture is not buzzed but everything around is I guess simplified background sort of gives the appearance of the furniture being buzzed as well.Stanley J. Contrades August 14, 2004
