Combining them in photoshop with multiply for the lines over the color export. Screening the lines back at a lighter transparency (50%).   Usually I see a lot of the degregation in the linework quality.

I don’t really know of any other good books.  I have both of the books mentioned above.  There is a tutorial online for anything you want to learn though…just google a topic and search (i.e. night time photoshop rendering..)

The plants are contained in boxes (approximately 18″ sq.). These boxed plants are then hung on the structure itself. Therefore if there is a problem the boxes/panels can be replaced individually. As with Horizontal landscape more effort is…[Read more]
