Title: Wallpaper made from WWI & WWII films.
Post by: Jed on 27 Mar 2007, 08:14

WWI & WWII (http://www.box.net/shared/6ojnd6k8k1)

I made this using photoshop and screen captures of these films: All quiet on the western front, Cross of Iron, Stalingrad & Band of brothers. Okay the last one is a series. So no actual battle footage and no real corpses! :) It's size is 1024 x 768. I don't know why I did it... Just felt like doing something like this.
I still have to work my fading skills to lose the borders between pics. Any tips on that?

Creepy.

Are you using Photoshop? It looks like you've made use of the texture filter. The simplest way to 'fade' between images is to just get a nice big brush (say 50-100px for the sizes you have), set the hardness to 0, and just erase around the edges.
