[QUOTE="480sparky, post: 503854, member: 15805"] Well.......... not [I]in a row[/I]. But at least [I]every other[/I] year! I normally refuse to do portrait work, but I've made one exception. That being my neighbor's 5 grandkids. Since they all know me and are comfortable around me, I was aksed to take some pix back in 2009. I started working with the images, and came up with the following composite 7 years ago: [IMG]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc172/480sparky/Personal/Ten%20Away%202009%20post.jpg[/IMG] We repeated the image in 2011: [IMG]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc172/480sparky/Personal/Ten%20Away%20Final%20-%202011%20post.jpg[/IMG] After that, the tradition was set. 2013: [IMG]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc172/480sparky/Personal/Ten%20Away%202013%20Final%20post.jpg[/IMG] And earlier this month: [IMG]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc172/480sparky/Personal/Ten%20Away%202015%20Post.png[/IMG] I have each one sign on white paper using a felt marker. I then scan it, crank up the contrast, and create two layers (both with transparent backgrounds). I invert the top layer to make it white, then move it up and to the left, to create a white signature with a black shadow. I copy it and paste it onto the main composite. [/QUOTE]
