About the Image(s)
A simple composite of a B&W image and a colour image.
Nothing fancy as you can tell. I attempted to use the overlap to show the lines, shapes, and colours of an ordinary guitar. The overlap is not perfect, but the main characteristics are there.
Comments and suggestions always appreciated.

Very nice. Great color and leading lines. I might have added a vignette or shadow to soften the sharp edge at the top left. A light flare might work too. Posted: 11/07/2023 16:22:35
Thanks, Steve
I tried to fix the upper left corner, but my PS skills are not yet there to do that.

This is a great study in shapes and lines. So interesting to move your eyes around the image. I love the colors and the lines going every which way. I agree with Steve W. that the cut off blue edge in the upper left needs some kind of editing. I wonder if PS AI would generate a complete guitar from your original. As I typed the last sentence, I decided to try it. I generated a "blue guitar" from your original, copied the area where the corner was cut off, then pasted it into your final image. You can see where the overlap occurred and it's obviously not fine tuned, but it did generate something to work with. Your vision for taking your original to a new level worked beautifully. Well done! Posted: 11/10/2023 21:41:35
Thanks, Jan well done.
Are you using the PS Ai feature a lot, and how is it working for you. Certainly worked well in this example. Posted: 11/16/2023 16:38:05

This was the first thing I created (generated) in AI. It was surprisingly easy to do. It feels like cheating to make new stuff, but I suppose it could have a creative application in some images (not for competitions though). I have used generative fill to add more background after expanding or rotating an image just to fill in more of the same, which usually works great. Posted: 11/16/2023 22:21:09

Hi Gunter. One thing that I really appreciate is your creativity. You post different concepts almost every month. Far from being monotonic. I like how you make colorful and bright center piece in this design. Posted: 11/12/2023 09:44:48
Nice study in lines and curves. I might have rotated the image a bit clockwise to provide more of a diagonal to the original blue guitar. Agree that the cut off of the blue edge in the upper left needs correcting and like Jan's remedy. You have a nice color palette. Posted: 11/14/2023 18:38:59
Thanks, Candy - great suggestion - will try it out. Posted: 11/16/2023 16:39:25
Like everyone else, I like your use of lines and shape to create this excellent image.
I'd probably have taken it much further (and possibly ruined it in the process). Here's one I created a while back, using some of my guitars: Posted: 11/15/2023 21:55:19

My hat off to you - WOW, that's all I can say Posted: 11/16/2023 16:40:40
I really enjoyed this creation, which works well as a geometric image. I also enjoyed the title! I don't think any changes or improvements are needed since it works beautifully as it stands! Posted: 11/16/2023 12:07:14
Thanks Mike. Posted: 11/16/2023 16:41:36
