Nice one... works wellCheers Guys
DK, the blood is done using "replace colour" in Pixelmator. There's more detail just after the image. If you mean overall how did I do the shot, then it's my hand, plus ketchup, plus a low temperature WB brushed onto my hand to give it that blue "been dead a while" look!!!
Ohh...The border/frame:
- Increase the canvas size to accommodate the frame all around.
- Fill the new frame with white (It'll be transparent to start with).
- Select the frame using the magic wand tool, then paste it twice as two new layers, both above the original image (so thinking of it as a stack of papers, you have the image on the bottom, then a white cut out border, then another white cut out border).
- Select the middle layer, and fill the white with black. Turn the top layer off first if you want to see the middle one go black.
- Apply gaussian blur to the middle layer to create the shadow effect.
- Move the middle layer down/up/left/right a bit if you want it to look as if the light isn't from directly in front.
- Merge all layers.
Easy peasy eh?
So not pressing 'Add Border' button then
