    Really inventive Ezra!
    Well conceived and explained. I’ve never used CC Threshold before and its a simple technique which works well.

    I only liked it because at the last minutes of the tut you burped.

      Hey!
      Sorry about that, I thought I deleted the audio but apparently I didn’t. And that’s actually my coffee mug, I didn’t remove the lid so it makes funny noises :-)

      Cheers

    When I use my own images, the blur actually blurs the image instead of looking like a shape morphing. Do I need to mess with the threshold more? or will my images just not work?

    • http://ezraistiroti.com Ezra

      Depends on the image itself, but remember to apply the threshold and blur in the right order and on to an adjustment layer to an image with no alpha channel. Let me know if it works.

    Thank you everyone for your comments, they are really appreciated. I also wanted to thank Sergio Toporek as he is the one that introduced me to this technique in the first place.
