Speaking of Elysse - will we ever learn whether she regained her memory?
But from the beginning Eli was just Eli. Nothing. Anything. And he is still a mystery to me. John Ajvide Lindqvist

Yes, and that's how JAL and TA present her -- as though her life had been on hold for two centuries.

Beautiful image, BTW.

Can you make out the image in the water?

I love this one. :wub: How did you get the picture of Eli and Oskar (and the cube?) to overlay the water like that? It seems to be in the proper perspective, too.

GIMP can not only do various operations with colours, ranges of colours, selection sets, layers and such like, it can also warp images in a number of ways. I guarantee the perspective is off by quite a bit, but I imported the image onto a layer immediately above the main layer, erased stuff in it I didn't want and changed its opacity to just! this side of barely visible after twisting it.

Yep! I've decided that this one is absolutely perfect--from rendition to symbolism. My favorite in this series.

(I know a lot of these effects are also possible in Photoshop. I've actually done engineering drawings with text that you can twist and distort to appear properly on 3-D constructs, but I've never heard of GIMP...)

Imaginatively enough, "graphic image manipulation program". GNU FOSS, also available for Windows and, if I'm not mistaken, OS X. People who know both packages say GIMP isn't as powerful, meaning, anything I can do with GIMP, you can do with PhotoShop, and probably with greater ease and producing better results. Those same people will tell you that GIMP is a very capable package just the same.

Its user interface leaves something to be desired, though. It's a bit scattered. If you're a Linux user, you might also consider trying out Krita. I don't like it as much, but that might just be because I've not really poked at it much. However, it's also got layering, selection sets and suchlike.
