Youth Hockey Collages

RichR · 5th of March 2008 (Wed)

Hi Folks,

Just sharing some hockey collages I've recently done...

Paul S · 5th of March 2008 (Wed)

I really like these - what software did you use ?

RichR · 5th of March 2008 (Wed)

Thanks Paul... all done in PS3... no templates. Just merged images with the gradient tool.

p.s. forgot to mention I use the Fluid Mask 3 plugin to make the cut outs.

I like the presentation of the collages but I found it hard to figure out the names in the first two with the pictures over top of the name. That may not be a problem for them (since of course they already know their names!). Also, you put the year on a couple of these but I think it should be on all of them, not so much for now but for five or ten years down the road. Good work.

Great work on the collages as well as on the photos that make them up...assume they are yours too? I assume it is the Fluid Mask tool that gives the black "halo" or shadow around each cutout image?

Very nice indeed. How do the prints look?

Wow...very nice and I bet well received! Fluid Mask plug-in...I must check this out.

Actually, the halo effect is just thedrop shadow layer style in PS3

The prints come out great... I print them in 13x19 then mat them in black and frame it in 18x24... the parents eat it up.
