I think my biggest problem will be to make the "couple image" pop out from the brick wall, i.e. look like it is extruding from the wall. There is some of that in you demo, but I'm not sure it is enough.
My next question is how to take the motar gray color and use it to outline and provide the "bumps" rather than the black outline color.
I'll also have to figure out why my bump map filter setup (shown in the pixls.us post) won't produce any results. I'll keep trying.
You are ok with a desaturated image, in the case shown, it made no difference, but as an example
(1) subject image
(2) Colors simplifiedÂ
(3) Desatured (HSV) and a small (2.5) gaussian blur + an attempt to add some brickwork (not very successful)
(4) Bumpmapped
Very difficult to get anything to really stand out from the surface unless it is a very simple shape.
not working ???
Your bumpmap is the background, it needs to be the man figure and that layer has to be the full image size otherwise the bumpmap is stuck up in the top left corner.
