The Gallery

Just recently discovered how good the Light and Shadow filter can be when used with depth maps, So as some of you will be aware I have played with crown mouldings and photo frames before but this time expermented by using the above filter, pleased with the results.

I think the spotlight effect came out really good. Looks great! Although the painting does seem to be hung rather low to the ground.

It's a big painting, to be honest I couldn't be bothered redoing the image to make the picture frame sit better.

I was thinking the same thing Merrak, although it could be a very large painting within a small gallery. :hehe

Come to think of it, there are tons of very small art gallery's in the western part of 'Chelsea' in NYC. Chelsea has become the center of the New York City/Manhattan's art world, with many art galleries located in both new buildings and rehabilitated warehouses.

I thought that might be the case, too, except for the baseboard. I bet if its height were cut down, the bricks (and hence the painting) would look bigger.

I see what your saying... Maybe it's just a very large baseboard and picture frame. :mrgreen:

he4rty: i think the lighting looks perfect! in what way did you use the light and shadow filter for it, what were the steps? it worked great with your crown moulding frame. i like the image in itself too, it would be nice to see a picture this size and hung this close to the floor in a real life museum or gallery, you'd feel like you could step right into the painting.

Thanks for the comments I shall look at sizes of things.

AnMal - the short version create a thick border around your image make sure you leave a gap between border and canvas edge, fill with colour of your choice, then on a new layer create the crown moulding frame. select original layer and the light and shadow filter, use the crown moulding frame as the bump map play with the settings and your done.
