You continue to raise the bar on this site! :) your control over your palette is so well done and appealing. Please continue this hot streak! :D

Totally stunning BD!

Agreed Tim. May I be so bold to suggest something that in my opinion would make the cover even classier...maybe perfect(if perfection exists outise of Scarlett johansson..lol).


In the spine, I think if you lost the middle image of Joan Fontaine and just made it a clean spine without that It would be tip of the top. Don't know if anyone else agrees

I know you spent time coloring that little image but I think without it it would look tip top perfect.

Thanks again, guys! :)

You could go to [b]View > New Guide [/b]to add a few straight lines to your canvas for reference, and then [b]Edit > Transform > Distort[/b]. ([b]Edit > Transform > Perspective [/b]also works and streamlines things a little bit, but that doesn't give you as much control.)

North By Northwest, Rear Window, and To Catch a Thief are my favorites. As you said, even when there's a film of his you don't like, there's usually plenty to admire.

This is mouth-wateringly good!!

Spectacular work Tim, thanks for sharing the insights along the way, I find them fascinating :)

Just one thin Tim. Sorry for being a newb. How did you create what you called the perspective image? Did you just tilt the initial image, and just by strechting and shrinking? I'm gonna keep that animated gif!! lol.

But Rebecca is a tour de force.

Feathering?[/quote]It's mostly just playing with the layer masks, finding out where things fit together and being strategic about what blends where. Generally, you would smoothly blend the layer and then strategically go back and unmask pieces, like Laurence Olivier's hat on the right, for instance.

I'm still figuring out how to colorize well, but the one tip I've found so far is to make sure you treat it as only one step in the larger design process.

Thanks again for the encouragement, everyone! And thanks to Paris especially for his tips. This probably would have sat unfinished on the hard drive otherwise. :cheers:

You now what it says on the back cover?

That applies with no doubt here: AN ARTSITIC MASTERPIECE!

One thing Time...in that black and white rectangular section on the back,what did you use to make it look like a seemingless one shot? Feathering?

I'm going to let this marinate for another couple of days, just in case, but here's the potential final cover: :cheers:
