^^^ Nice work Vicanon. It's been done before, but your editing is really great and keeps it within that quality level for that genre.

I'd really like to see the original (the bird part), solo.

Not difficult but my first post so I thought I would throw one up.

Nice to have you onboard Nigey, and welcome to POTN! :D

[dkimages]

I used these for my christmas card pictures.

[Kendoway]

Neat idea Donna - I like that second one.

Try some tighter lasso-ing (or the eraser) around the hair next time, which is very hard to do. Great job otherwise, I love it.

[dkimages]

Thanks for the suggestion and compliment. This was my first attempts at doing this, so I was fairly pleased with my outcome. Thanks, again.

[DozerLYP]

Donna, to help you get raid of all that white in the hair, try using the Color Range toll under Select. Then just click on the white and it will select all the white on that layer, then hit delete.
Beside the white, you did a good job. Keep them coming.

Very nice work .:D

Thanks Vicanon, as I mentioned in another thread, I was so consumed with adding the chair, light, frame plate and shadows for the glove and walls etc that I forgot about putting in shadows for her....after I posted I said S..T, I forgot her. :cry:

First attempt at using a skin texture technique in the GIMP.

[Kendoway]

^^^ That is mega creepy and I love it!

Simon, you should consider killing the entire background and making it black, and then clone out the text on the back of his shirt.

Awesome skin texturing!

I didn't think it was that good, but I was pissed at my son so had to go into "creative mode" rather than bust a blood vessel!!!

That would help straight away!

This is a very good idea, but another thing that would help is to think about perspective as well. If you can imagine cutting a carrot into slices, you won't necessarily see both sides of each slice depending on where you are standing. If I were to personally try this idea, I would take some raw beef and pound it on my cutting board to really get some bloody saturation going on...and you can't fake that kind of realistic beast juice a raw steak puts out. That would really set the scene for a shot like this. Still, very creative though. Nice idea.

Thanks everyone for the tips and what not. My shadows are very shallow and pathetic. Like I said I'm not good at photoshop at all and my ideas are never fully executed because my lack of knowledge would make my 365 pictures an 8 hour job. :/ I'm trying though. Thanks everyone!

Not that I'm into advertising for this guy, but I took his class and am very satisfied with where I am with my Photoshop knowledge. If you're looking to take a class on it, he does a very good job.

I LOVE that shot, and knowing it's a trick picture takes nothing from it - which shows when Photoshopping/GIMPing a shot should be seen as a "must", as opposed to a "mustn't"!

Let's see more humorous shots like this one!!! I'll be doing same :D

For my money, I'd say the finish is best on the first one, with your lips as part of your hand. Really seamless!!!!!

The others - as I'm sure you know - need a little refining....but great concepts all the same.

After I get over this bout of 'flu, I must do something to add to this thread again, as it's been too long since I contributed!

[Disturbed UTT]

My effort. Had to re-teach myself (with help from the net) how to OOB. I need to add shadow to the frame, make the frame more interesting, maybe change the background.

My main concearn is the outline on parts of the cut out. Birds right wing mainly. Any suggestions?

Was also thinking about putting a moon shot as the background but the black would bring out my outline too much.

Anyway, here it is :D

June 19th there was a huge gathering, I'm still processing the photos, but here's the gallery from last year (http://www.envisioncreativeimaging.com/Events/RC-Model-Cars/SL-09/8706568_rbmiH). Just decided to take it a step further this time.

my video from last year, just for fun... Just about got hit in the head this year, really need to be aware of your surroundings at all times.

Probably one of my favourite edits that I've done.

Wow! Just saw this one. Excellent! If I were still shooting sports, I could sell a ton of images like this. (that is if I could reverse engineer and duplicate the process...hehehe)

Rudy; nice poster and great masking work. What program do you use to mask out the players. I've never been satisfied with any of available programs and always fall back to the standard photoshop tools.

same here, tried a few plugins, and didnt like any of them. I just used photoshop cs5

[Hinson]

I have to agree. I'm still using CS4 but the tools are the same. I stick with the pen tool. You?

quick selection, then refine

[Hinson]

I tried that but could never get it to work. Too many small details in what I do cutting around wheels, engine parts, etc.
