My Carnival in Venice workshop is just around the corner, and I have a slos left in the first workshop (the 2nd one is sold out). I've been to Venice during Carnival many times, but I've only seen snow on the ground once. In the early morning before it melted away, there were no costumed models out because they didn't want the falling snow to melt on the expensive fabrics and feathers they wear. Models in the snow would have been incredible, so I made it happen using Photoshop. I meticulously cut out this romantic couple using the pen tool (I worked at 400% magnifcation), and then I pasted them into the wintry scene. I chose this particular couple because of the color in their costume. It matches the lamps as well as the brick on San Giorgio Island in the background.

Jim - I will look forward to you participating in the Photoshop, Frederic. If you want, give me some dates you are available in the future and I'll schedule the workshop so you can come.

Jim Zuckerman - Thanks very much, Bob. I appreciate your comment. Someone in my frog/reptile workshop suggested I do video tutorials, and I plan to start producing them shortly. The first one will be on using the pen tool. It intimidates everyone, but it's very, very easy.

Frederic Hore - Superb composite Jim! All the elements really work together.
Ever since we first met at the Montreal Camera Club several years ago, when you presented some of your images from Venice, I have wanted to participate. Alas, it always a timing issue... just can't get away. One day!
Have fun and be well.

ROBERT TURNER - Just beautiful! I have your PS CD, I expect I would need a tutorial just on use of the pen tool and aspect/perspective to accomplish similar results. Thanks for showing what an expert can create.
