josefstadt Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 This month's Model Railroader has two articles on Photographic back scenes. In one the author shows how to create a backscene 30 inches high and 45 feet long using digital images captured by himself and manipulated using Adobe Photoshop. In the other the author obtained a single 30 inch wide photo from a series of images of a prototype scene, again blended together using Adobe Photoshop. In both cases it was of course necessary to find a printer capable of producing such large prints. It was also important to coat the finished prints in a film which protects against the efects of UV light and thus prevents fading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burnthebox Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Hey, if I know anything about a digital camera, it should be easy for someone who could produce photo which could be altered to show back drops, it's not science, or is it! ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenderg Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 It's not easy by any means. I've done a bit for getting photos of brick and stone textures for platform facing, the track side finish beneath the platform edge. Doing a canal wall suited for a eight coach train and stitching the hundred of photos together is no fun. If you wanted to give it a go you'll need a large open space in front your subject. You'll need to zoom in too to reduce the curve of straight lines so you can stitch them together. A spot like a canal, public park is perfect and a photo needs to be taken about every 5 metres, moving in a straight line parallel to the scene. Then stitch the photos together like this. http://www.fantasyjackpalance.com/fjp/photos/composites/index.html for more that might suit. Richie.
