Day 26: Cerulean


Inspired by Thephrog's fish photos, I thought I'd show one of my own. My fish was very cooperative, I had a much harder time taking photos of the bubbles. 'Cerulean' is such a pretty name compared to what it was originally called, 'green blue.'
3 hours later...
I've been going crazy uploading this shot. I don't know much about Photoshop and after I tried layering to include the bubbles with the fish photo, I checked it out in full view and to saw to my dismay that my black background disappeared! If it's not gray and white squares, it's white with the fish and bubbles having black edges. I finally ended up masking them against a black background. Although the upload doesn't look as clear as the original that I saved, I don't want to edit it further because the whole thing might disappear :(

That's a very pretty colour with a very strange name that I never heard of before. Great image and yes, bubbles are very tricky to work with, but this came out well.

Your PS problems sound like you may need to try a Save As and change the file type to .jpg. Also check all your layers are marked as visible, and if that fails, flatten the image then save it. If that doesn't work, then I have NO IDEA how you are achieving such fancy results! ;-)
