This digital image of
a karate student will be used to create a banner and a poster. Scroll
down to see the results and how fast and easy it is to do in Compose.
The
following banner was created in seconds by rearranging parts of the
original image. The armoire panels were rotated and used to fill the
banner sides and the 4G Color Graphic was floated in front of the
student.
Next, we
download a graphic from the web and drop it onto one of the Compose
inputs.
Then, a
few more clicks and the banner is converted to a poster.
The
following screenshots show Compose creating the banner and
poster. You may click on the screenshots to enlarge them.
Now watch both the banner and poster
being created from start to finish in this two minute YouTube video.
This is the best way to see how Compose works and how easy and fast it
is to use.
Karate
Student Meditating
The
digital image below shows the karate student meditating in the
shadows.
For the
new composition on the right, we floated a butterfly graphic in front
of the student. Then we copied the light from the floor of the
original image to the background of the new image so the student now
appears to be in the light. The student was also lightened and
sharpened.
The
following screenshot shows Compose creating this new composition. The
2 minute YouTube video shows the editing from start to finish. Click

Student
Using
Compose, this banner was created in seconds from the first of the two
images below. The background is the dancer's skirt. Then, the 4G Color
Logo Graphic was floated in the upper right corner.
Then,
with a few more clicks, the second image was used for a different
background, shown in the banner below.
The
following screenshot shows Compose creating the banner. Click on
the screenshot image to enlarge it.
And,
with a few more clicks, output a portrait.

What is
Compose?
Compose is a Digital
Multiple Exposure Photography Application. You start with one or
more digital images, select regions of interest and combine them to
create a new image.
Compose includes a
full-featured, high quality digital image editor that can adjust the
individual image components or can adjust the entire composition.
Each of the image
components can be interactively positioned, sized, rotated, edited,
blended and faded until the best composition is achieved.
Save the results in
any of numerous standard image sizes, resolutions and formats, or
easily enter custom values.
What Compose isn't!
Compose isn't a
layer model with frustrating cutout tools and hard edge masks.
Compose isn't a
sequence of pixel operations that erodes the image quality and has
strange, hard-to-learn order dependencies.
Where can you get
Compose?
Download Compose on the Mac App Store. Compose is Gate Keeper and
Mavericks Compliant.
