Cucoloris Effect

Tried out a Cucoloris Effect on a shot taken about a week ago.

A cucoloris or cookie, is putting patterned shadows into the background of a photo.
Used a macro shot with shallow dof of a twig, then drew multiple flower 'custom shapes', changing the sizes, angles and opacity.
Resulted in creating the vague shadows (from the flowers) into the twig shot. A treatment often seen in movies or in advertising shots.


other sizes: small medium original auto

This is cool and excellent work, Carol. I assume I can find this technique in chapter 10 of your book on Photoshop. :) Vote
