Alright, I though I would post this for those 'experts' out there that know how to get things done. I've tried to produce this effect for 2 hours and have not even got close.

The look:

Vacuum-packed look OR Shrink-wrap OR Glad's ForceFlex garbage bags (you know - like on the commercial where you can make out what is in the bag because it has been pressed against the plastic wall and it is stretching it outwards)

I have these JPEGS of various US landmarks (about 12 of them) I have them arranged in repeating fashion on a canvas and I want to put a red film over them so that it looks like I've stretched a garbage bag over them very taut and the outlines from the JPEGS are showing through- show you still can make out what the landmark is.

Any ideas on how to accomplish this look??

(I'm sure someone knows how to easily do this. I only know that I am not one of them! - )
