I was doing some more video editing today and needed a photo of the front of my Bible cover for the final scene. I decided to go for a close-up and ended up with this:
I think it looks quite realistic although it actually had a fair amount of processing work done with The GIMP – contrast adjustments with curves, sharpening and an overlaid translucent black layer to tone down the highlights. It did the job though, providing the background I needed for my video and banking up a texture I might well end up using again.
