I hope that makes sense, but I’m guessing it doesn’t. They are shortcuts for photographers and they speed up editing by automating processes.īasically I wanted an action that would duplicate a section of a photograph I had selected four times, rotate it each time it was duplicated, and combine the four segments in a manner that created a pattern that was, more times than not, more abstract that realistic, and, I hoped, resembling an image one might encounter in a kaleidoscope. Actions allow photographers, at the click of a button, to enhance and enrich their photos in a fast and efficient way. I have found Photoshop “actions” on the Internet to download and use, but I wasn’t completely satisfied with the results they offered so decided to create my own action.Ī Photoshop action, for the uninitiated, is a series of recorded steps by the designer to help a photographer achieve a look without having to manually apply each process. Rotation of the cell causes motion of the materials, resulting in an ever-changing view being presented. The reflectors (or mirrors) are usually enclosed in a tube, often containing on one end a cell with loose, colored pieces of glass or other transparent (and/or opaque) materials to be reflected into the viewed pattern. Since a kaleidoscope is somewhat outmoded in this digital age, we’ll offer a brief explanation of what one is - a Kaleidoscope 101 if you will - to introduce you to the visual effect Cruz wanted to achieve photographically.Ī kaleidoscope is an optical instrument with two or more reflecting surfaces tilted to each other in an angle, so that one or more (parts of) objects on one end of the mirrors are seen as a regular symmetrical pattern when viewed from the other end, due to repeated reflection. From when I was young, I’ve always liked the magical quality of looking through a kaleidoscope, so I thought I’d try to replicate that in some of my photos and then see if I could market them to some of the record companies.” With Windham Hill as a focus point, I decided that I needed to create some images that were more design oriented than pictorial, even though Windham Hill does use what one might call ‘traditional’ images on some of their covers. They are not of the ‘60s and ‘70s rock cover art genre, but more contemporary, sophisticated, stylized design. One company I really admire for their taste is cover art is Windham Hill. I have a growing collection of vinyl records that I’ve purchased at thrift stores simply because I admired the cover artwork. Led Zeppelin created some marvelous covers, but at that time, there were so many LP covers that really broke out that it is hard for me to pinpoint favorites. I’ve been in love with vinyl covers for a very long time. I’ve always been fascinated with vinyl records - well, not so much the records themselves, but more so with the covers and cover art. Very unhappy customer.Design photographs in the style of Charles Sheeler They where supposed to collect today Monday. As we speak the items are still waiting in the porch. My advice to anyone contemplating using Kaliscope is don’t bother unless you can get to there warehouse to take any stuff back to them. I am so fed up this is definitely the last order I will make with kaleidoscope it’s just not worth it.
Each time the arrangements are made guess what no courier. Yes is my answer they are in the porch waiting the porch is open any day you want to come is fine. I have now been on the phone to Kaliscope 8 times to arrange for the courier.
If I have to return them there carnt be the same problem again surely. I vowed never to order anything with Kaliscope again but I relented and thought well it’s clothes this time. It took me ages to prove the coffee table had been taken from my porch I think stolen. Plus it even flooded my porch because with it being shared it flooded with rain which my land lord charged me for. And true to fact that they did go missing even though I had warned Kaliscope it could. In the end as I warn with my porch being a shared one that the goods could go missing. Each time stressing to the customer service agent that the coffee table was left in my porch that I was forced to leave open for them to pick up.
The first time I tried to return a coffee table I made at least 10 appointments for it to be picked up.
But I must and I stress it over and over again the courier service they use is absolutely terrible. “Kaliscope catalogue clothing and household products areof good quality.
