January 6: Dispersion (Technique Challenge)

This challenge was almost the end of me. I understood the technique, I just couldn't figure out how to get it into a layout I was happy with. BUT, I finished a page I am not embarrassed to share, so I will take that as a win.

Regardless, I am still glad to be learning so many new things this month.

 

Definitely something I need to keep trying.

I'm not really thrilled with my final dispersion but loved getting to learn a new technique. And now that I understand what each step is for, I think I'll enjoy trying it again sometime. Thanks for the step-by-step!

 

I scrap exclusively on my ipad using apps, I could not get any of the ones I currently had do a dispersion similiar to the output as described in the photoshop example. I did find an app, after trying many of them, that gave me this dispersion, I loved it, and I hope you do to and that it allows me to continue with MOC6.

 

Here's mine... finally... I did understand the concept but struggled with a photo that would work to achieve the effect. I finally went out of the box and it worked out okay I think.

 

WIth this post I am caght up...I enjoyed learning a new technique although I don't think i did a good job at it...I watch several videos and thought I did it right only to find out I didn't...I might contine to play with this but for now this fulfills the requirement and I am done with it...sometimes things have to stew for awhile LOL...anyway here is my LO that I am NOT happy with

 

I started this layout sooooo many times. I can't tell you how many times I trashed it and started over. I did the dispersion technique on day 1, but the "layout" part is what I couldn't settle on. I finally did one that I like. Thanks for the challenge, Jan!

 

This technique was not in my comfort zone so I took my page a way I don't usually and I LOVE IT! Thanks for the challenge.

 

Tough one!

 

Photoshop does wonderful things, but this took me 2 days trying to remember all the extra clicks and places to go! Still, I think I did an okay job. I was trying to convey the passage of time with out words. Suggestions?

 

Does this work for to qualify for the challenge? I use Artisan and had a hard time with this one...

 

Loved this challenge! Thanks so much for teaching it!

 

Okay. Not the result I was hoping for, but I did give it a college try. I had problems with the tool and after a reset of all my tools and a few googling my issues, I got there. Unfortunately as part of the reset my history got reset to 20 so when I realized I hadn't picked up the right layer, I couldn't go back as far as I wanted and there was no way I was starting over at that point. Now that I've done it once, I can kind of understand better what each step was trying to do, so I think if I tried it again it would be better. I guess not all these techniques will be my "cup of tea", but I tried it.

 

Well, this technique didn't really work out as planned but points for trying something new! I could get it to blur but not the spray/fracture effect, not sure that worked right!

Does it still count if it didn't work out well?

 

Here is my layout...I will do this in the future on more sports layouts! I like the feel of action on the page!

 

I finally got it done. Don’t know why I was dreading it @IntenseMagic your instructions were very clear! Thanks for the challenge!
