Timelapse


Make a time lapse sequence:

Choose your view and time parameters - minutes, hours, days
Arrange your exposures in sequential order - free to use photoshop or scalpel and glue
No limit on how many pictures you combine or the final dimensions

Assessment: Wednesday 27th February 9.00am Studio 22

Ideas and information:

More info on timelapse

Here are some simple instructions for those wanting to assemble their timelapse montage in Photoshop:

Make a new blank canvas big enough to frame your montage:
File – New (make sure the dpi resolution of the new canvas is the same as your timelapse images – ideally 300dpi)


Use the crop tool to cut a slice from each image and drag it into the new canvas

Use the Move tool to position each new slice on the new canvas


You can adjust the position of any layer by selecting from the one you wish to adjust from the layers palette


When you’re happy with the timelapse montage you can preserve all the layers – for future tweaking – by saving as a .psd (Photoshop file). If you’re bold enough to commit – you can merge all the layers and save as a .tif or .jpg

Advanced Photoshop users could stack all the images on top of one another and use the erase tool selectively on each layer to reveal and blend the layer underneath to create a merged version...
