Bravo j'adore !
I use to think simple ideas are not easy to find and have the best effect !
And the question is very interesting, I think we are changing color every day.
This morning I woke up dark grey but now feel purple thanks to you !

I like or lovehate photoshop alot....like all who work in design and art I wish I had the time to devote to learning how to do all the fanch shmancy stuff....I took one course at Focal Point Visual Arts Academy in Van. I'm afraid yet curious enough to ask the question:

How was that achieved? I imagine that is not an easy answer!

on this day of grey I appreciate the rays of colours though....thanks

Thanks.
I placed the x-rays on my window and let the light shine through. I then took multiple photo's of each. And then selected the best of each x-ray.

I opened each image in Photoshop and then added a new layer above the original layer. I filled in the new layer with a color and then applied an overlay effect that ranged from 40-60% for each image.

Hope that helps explain it a little better.
