using a mirror

[nisus]

Hi all,

 

Do you know the time that you worked hard on a project thinking everything is finished just fine and than someone looks at your images and points you out - in less then a second - a very obvious mistake that you didn't see?

When compositing/modelling/retouching, one might look at an image for so long, that you don't see small common errors anymore. What can one do to avoid this? Here's one tip:

 

Flip your image left to right to simulate the first view of an image. But don't look at it for too long, or you'll ruin the effect again. In traditionally media, use a mirror

interesting nisus.

 

a common problem - you spend ages and ages looking at your own imagery just trying to get it right, then after a time it all looks the same you you miss obvious tweeks.
