Beautiful! :D
I agree with Tatiana, it's a wonderful exhibit. Intriguing to poke around in Aldo and Sere's heads like that
Thank you so much Lorsagne! I'm glad you like the exhibit.
As for no halos, well ... here's what I do in GIMP:
I add an Alpha Channel in Layers
I cut around the pictures frames as tight as possible around the outside with a crop and/or the erase tool.
I erase the backgrounds with the erase tool. Go slow and make a clean edge as much as possible.
I go to Filters > Light and Shadow > Drop Shadow
Here are the settings for Drop Shadow:
This creates a slight drop shadow around the inside and the outside of the frames.
Go to File > Export .... I save and upload the files in .PNG format.
I hope that helps, I don't have Photoshop, if that's what you use.
Cheers
Thank you Alessandra )
Thank you Louise and Stormy! *warm hugs*
Thank you very much Tatiana and Jean-Matisse
~Un Piccolo Studio~
An interactive artist studio with animated easels and a posing area. Come explore and create with us! For a twist and to add to the realism, we will feature a real life historical artist and offer their works for sale. Strike a pose or create a painting like the great artists of the past. You're more than welcome to make a mess.
Our current featured artist: Maria van Oosterwijck (1630-1693) famous for her incredibly realistic still lifes in the chiaroscuro (strong dark and light contrast) style. Her works are inside the studio, not only on the walls but tucked in on the floors as well. "Maria's Blooms" is the title of our new exhibit. Part of the 17th century Dutch Golden Age of painters, her works are truly beautiful and will get us all 'Thinking Spring.'
Her paintings are priced at 49L each with Copy/Mod permissions and a Resizer script is included with your purchase. Informational notecards are included.
Don't forget the easels are interactive, so feel free to paint a bit.
See the landmark below, the candles are always burning so stop by anytime.

This is really amazing, I can't imagine living such a long life and seeing all those change, wow ... she must have had some terrific stories to tell!
