Turning a 2D image into 3D by mol smith August 2013                 {PAGE 3}

Here we are then, several hours later.  I find those hours are only sustainable through my curiosity about how the 3D image will turn out. It keeps me going and it makes be try and get it right. You should save your work as a layered PSD file every so often. You can imagine how blue the air gets in my study when several hours in, we get a power cut - a frequent event in rural England.

Do you see how carefully I have shaded things to ensure depth is mapped by levels of grey. When working on one of Dennis's images, I always think about the female assistant in Hawaii who walked these edges with her lasso tool before making selections to colour the original SEM image, something required a the original scan is only one colour. I know, without meeting her, all the places she paused momentarily before moving the mouse or pen to pick up the edge of that fine hair or to define leg from body: affinity by route of similar task rather than by talk and meeting.
