Sunday, May 10th, 2009 | Filed under Articles, Lessons, Misc | 1 Comment
My most recent photomanip Frozen Valley was created using a few simple steps, that are described in this post. Please note: This is not a step-by-step guide meant to be followed to the letter just so you can create your own “Frozen Valley” (I wouldn’t be happy to see copies popping up all over the net to be honest) – it is instead meant to help you find your way in the fascinating world of photomanips, so you can start creating your own images according to your own visions.
