Invisibles have always amazed me since I saw them used in movie quizzes at FilmWise. Just the strangeness of seeing an otherwise normal and familiar scene with faces cleverly removed. It also made the quizzes hard, as we tend to cue in on faces rather than clothes and scenery.

I finally took some time to learn the trick myself, and had a go at it in GIMP, the free alternative to PhotoShop.

After a couple of hours of so, including one false start, here’s the result. It’s a little rough in places – and I could have spent a little more time on it, maybe. I’m hoping next time, I’ll be able to get more done in less time, now that I know the tricks.
