Struggling with new photography software

Vince has been working on a new photo programme which allows you to create a photo which stands out from the page and looks a little like a 3D image. I’ve used an example for this discussion. It has taken him ages to work it out and has involved a certain amount of bad language but it seems he has now got the hang of it although it still needs a bit more refinement. The two riders are husband-and-wife endurance riders and on this day they were on their way to completing an 80-kilometre ride. Do you like the 3D effect?

Wow, good job. That must be so interesting to see the original and then the 3D version of it. I love these aspects of technology, and a little cussing won't kill anyone along the way.

He had so much trouble with it but eventually he worked it out. It's quite a nice effect I think.

Vince isn't an 'other'. He is my husband and anything that is his, I have first choice over. I'm glad you like it.

I can understand how learning to use a new software can be frustrating. It can take a lot of time before you start making beautiful images like that one.

@JudyEv I’ve been there. I know how it feels. But in the end it’s fun

He would get a little way then do something wrong and have to start again. Several times he went off and did something else for a while but then he'd come back and try again.

He did a good job, those programmes are not easy to master and it takes a lot of time to have a perfect picture.

@JudyEv I have very little patience, so when something requires too much time, I usually abandon the project.

@LadyDuck I don't know whether to call Vince determined or stubborn? Which word do you think fits best?

Some photos are easier to do than others so he is learning a lot of stuff as he goes along.

It's a nice effect for some photos. It is quite a complex process but each time is a bit quicker with a bit less profanity!

Listening to the tutorial (over and over and over ) it did sound very complex. And if you got a step wrong it seemed there was no way out but to go back to the beginning and start again.

I have a dodgy eye and can't see any 3D effect at all. I have enough trouble just working with Photoshop elements, so I won't be playing with anything more complicated

It's really only a little bit 3D but the process has potential.

I love 3D. I used to want a 3D printer so I could make 3D things. New software can be tricky. I am glad he got the hang of it.

@JudyEv Judy, I would say that is what matters. I hate if I cannot figure something out.

It's something a bit different. Obviously it doesn't suit all photos.

Wow that is impressive. My son works in animation and does 3D work but it is beyond my ability

I think this would be considered pretty simple 3D stuff although it impresses me.

That is so awesome. I hope he uses it often enough to refine his skills and retain the knowledge. I usually learn new stuff then fail to use it and have to relearn it.

It is quite involved so it might take a while before he can do it without referring to the tutorial.

Wow its awesome I like 3D images. Its looks like picture is alive. Its so awesome . I like 3D effects. I love new technologies too. Good job. Good effort too . I know its a tough job preparing such a effective photography program . Its a pro graphic program its so tough because we should care of minute details while preparing such programs . That's makes program effective .

It took him a very long time to do the first one and he had to start again several times but now it doesn't seem quite so difficult.
