Re: Image using opacity mask
one is tempted to say 'good shot'... but one had probably better not...
I really do like that image jono, and the way you made it; so nice to see that kind of use still posted up on these forums
oh btw welcome back :D
Re: Image using opacity mask
@Jon, very, very inventive.
I like the cowboy on the bullet, very Dr Strangelove.
I'm not sure how you managed the sphere. A Circular Enveloped doesn't cut it so I'm guessing you included another filter.

Re: Image using opacity mask
Cool idea adding production notes. I need to start doing that. I totally forget what I have done on older images, if I ever did know.
Acorn - I had a method of apply masks, which apropos of my first comment I have forgotten but it could product a similar fish-eye distortion.
Attached is an example done in 1999.

certainly looks like it might be the magix fisheye live effect

It turns out I had, back in 2019 for the image below. At the time I even made margin notes, but when it came to that crucial step, I just wrote 'apply opacity mask'!
Anyhoo, for the first time in weeks I fired up my Windows laptop and Xara and reversed engineered the drawing to see if I could work out how I did it.
Basically I used the mask painter tool to 'erase' areas, converting the masked area to an opacity mask (keyboard shortcut 'O').

Looks great Jono thanks, good idea using margin notes as to how you did it, I had done something in the past I just didn't use margin notes just an how I did it file.
Re: Image using opacity mask
Thanks all for nice comments :thx
@handrawn "welcome back" made me grin :D
@Acorn and @handrawn, yes, I used the Deformation Filter --> Fish Eye Perspective for the sphere.
@GWP - Production notes. Unfortunately I've not always made them. That's a great image from 1999!
@Larry - Thanks. It's scary how quickly I forget the small details. I guess it's also down to what you've got going on in your life at the same time.

Yeah, I know what you mean.
