Enhancing Self Portraits: Photo Compositing with Alexus Roberts – 2 of 2

Join Alexus Roberts on Adobe Live as she uses Photoshop to embellish a self-portrait with visual storytelling elements. Over two days she’ll create a collage that questions unrealistic expectations women of color face in the corporate industry. Embracing and emphasizing her natural hair, the end result will be an empowering representation of what it means to be a black woman in corporate America. Tune in, share your story and help Alexus select images as she works!

Guest Alexus Roberts is a photographer specializing in product, branding, stop-motion, and composites, based in Atlanta, GA: https://www.alexusroberts.com

Outlined Interactive Picture in Text | GIMP Text Effect Tutorial for Beginners

pixelmove.com

In this beginner-friendly GIMP text tutorial, I show you how to easily create an “interactive,” outlined picture-in-text effect that makes main objects or subjects in your photo appear to be intertwined or interacting with your text. This is a great technique that I often see used in professional advertising or artistic works for more eye-catching and advanced looking text. Take your text editing and photo manipulation to the next level with this quick tutorial!
