Saw/Saw 2

Welcome back! I knew you would be interested to know how Saw/Saw turned out. Not sure if this qualifies as a real mural or not; I think it might just be an Odd Job.

Time to start on the ridges in front of Sawtooth, and meanwhile I am still wondering why things look darker on the camera screen. I also realized that if I would put a circular mask over the rectangular photo that I’d get things more proportionally correct.
Sawtooth didn’t have quite the right angle, so here I corrected my shapes.
Better, as each step and layer ought to be.
First coating on the rest of the blade.
Correcting the colors and shapes on the lower parts.

Finally, I figured out what was wonky with my camera. I had been experimenting with the settings, still not quite understanding what they all meant. When I changed “Poster Effect” to “Program” (who chooses these words??), It photographed more accurately.

But now the computer is not behaving properly, and when I export the photo of the finished Saw/Saw, it says it goes somewhere, and then it isn’t there.

My Mac is lying to me and cheating you out of seeing the finished saw blade!

Boy am I mad.

Maybe it will fix itself and work tomorrow. Besides, a job is never finished until these 2 things happen: A. The customer is happy and B. I have signed it.

  1. I just saw a saw saw. ?

    • Gnat, you always make me smile.

  2. My Mac has started doing the same thing, Jana. The easiest way to get it back is to go to “file”, then “find” at the bottom of its list, type in the name of your photo’s file, and it should be listed somewhere in a list of items. You can then drag it to your desktop where you can see it and work with it. I hope this works for you!

    • Oh Louise, we do have our tech problems, don’t we! Thank you for ALWAYS understanding.

  3. My phone photo editing app started lying to me. Says it’s saving my edits but I have no idea where. I feel your pain/frustration. It hasn’t corrected itself but it has made me search for another phone app

    • Oh Leigh, what a pain! Technology is like everything in life – a mixed bag of goods and bads. Maybe the trouble comes when we expect it to actually deliver what it promises. . . stinkin’ liar Tech!
