Try it now. I think I fixed the problem.

Works OK for me now - earlier I could not see the large size.
Wonderful image that looks like it was inspired by the Old Masters.
How large can you print this still keeping your the aesthetics to your liking? From your earlier discussions on your printing, I thought you did not print on canvas - have you tried canvas, and would you modify your textures?

I plan on printing this one on canvas at 36 inches high. I worked the file at that size and it looks great. Might be tuff to print. I'll let you know.

I just posted another version of my "two nudes" on Flickr.
My client thought it was a bit too revealing.
Here is the link.

Not a texture blend but a multiple exposure - 3 exposures, 4 images, "blended"
Shot with a GF1 and a Rusian Helios 44-2 58mm f/2. All images were shot oof. I'll post some sample in-focus images in the Russian lens thread as this copy is truly exceptional - razor sharp.
Thanks Diane,
I been working on this for a while trying to get the balance right so that it is not too revealing. I'm working on a cropped portrait as well that I might upload later.

Re: Fishermen
In point of fact I use the "Difference" Blend mode in my Layers work in Photoshop too! Not as a pure transparency but partly "exposed" so-to-speak in the layer stack.
Thank you Diane.

I agree Uwe--I prefer the second texture. I don't have a large library of textures to draw on so have been on the hunt online to find hi rez textures to use. I now have enough to work with including some of my own--and will layer a few to create some more to suit me. The hardest is finding a texture to work with an images, but I decided that using masks, layers with the textures gives me more latitude to get what I want.

Yes finding textures is challenging. Right now I stay away from using masks but it would of course give optimal control.
I create often new textures by blending different textures. The texture I used above was a blend of 3 different textures. The new texture is now in my catalog of textures.
It is also important whether you create entire new images using blending of if you blend to enhance a main image. In the tree picture above it was all about improving the sky in the overall picture.

Re: Textures
Masks and Layers are indeed the key to satisfying blended images.
Oh but you do, Diane. If I remember correctly you were in the "textile business", weren't you? All your fabrics are ideal textures. The main reason Mike's are so beautiful to the eye in my view is because he uses painted canvasses - cloth is a good alternative, don't you think? Well lit with side flash will produce excellent examples.

Re: Textures
But, my husband is a designer with lots of fabrics stacked in many places. There are some in there that may be worth shooting--hmmmm, we'll see. I don't like repetitive textures much, so will look for more complex weaves that have large repeats along and perhaps mix with some of my more 'random' textures I've shot and accumulated. :thumbup:
Yes, you're right, but mostly all gone. I tried one of my screens with complex weaves and surface design this afternoon--we'll see, but I have only a very few left. But---OTOH, glad that everything did find good homes, walls, whatever.
