Description
This started with a photo of a large mirror with a very ornate carved wood frame (comes from Thailand) that hangs in our front hallway. I removed the middle section (the reflection of me taking the photo) & replaced it with a photo that I took several winters ago (previously posted here at Renderosity). Then I created a texture for the wall that is actually a combination of about a dozen different preset textures (whose parameters I tweaked considerably) in Perfect Effects, my favorite Photoshop plugin. The trickiest part of that was masking out the intricate shape of the mirror so that the texture wouldn't be applied to the wood. Too much information?

Absolutely brilliant, Claude! Not too much info for me, your fellow Digifiddler.

Incredible image! You worked hard to get what you wanted and, it appears to me, you got exactly what you had in your mind's eye.

the mirror frame would be very time consuming to use the selection tool. very ornate and a great job on textures and separation

Oh wow! This is really an awesome postwork creation. And I love that you told how you did it. You always make me want to try fiddling too. I must look up that photoshop plug in tool. Thanks for sharing your expertise. :)
