| These creative tutorials will have Elements-savvy photographers jubilantly producing wildly imaginative, out-of-this-world pictures – and expanding their knowledge of digital technologies, too. Even the most advanced users will benefit from the ingenious image manipulation and compositing techniques contained here.
Most of the lessons concentrate on turning human figures into fantastic beings, including aliens, zombies, ghosts, and stone statues. But there’s also advice on transforming existing scenery into fabulous environments: simulate a flying saucer attack on a contemporary city; fashion a fanciful landscape floating on clouds; or create an undersea world, complete with marine life.
An introductory project even pays homage to the great surrealist artist Magritte! The instructions show how to do it all, with tricks, hints, and expert tips along the way.
