need some serious help (willing to pay)!!!

[blonde]

hey guys,

normally i would try to do things myself but i just can't do this one no matter how hard i try so i am begging for your help. today i had to take a company picture and it came out pretty good. however, 2 people were late and because there is no way i can get everybody together again (most of us are out of town most of the time), i was forced to take just their pic and now i have to combine the two :( my PS skills are pretty much reserved for photo editing so i have no experience with this sort of thing. so..... if anybody here feels like they can do a job and are in the mood for charity, i can send you the 2 files and let you have at it.

thanks

Hey Snir,
Why not have a stab at it and then post it up so people can help you along?
That way you get it done AND you learn something new ;)
Unless it was time critical.

Wish I could help you Blonde, but I am probably one of the worst PP types in this Forum. Good luck, looks like you have one volunteer which is great. I hope he gets it done or others jump in. I can just feel the type of pressure you are under right now. Good luck buddy.

thanks man. this really does piss me off!!! first of all i get asked to do this and then people decide that even though we said 9am sharp, they can just show up at 9:40 and we are all going to wait...

The lighting on the female is very harsh compared to the rest of the image but let me know if this edit will work for you. Check your email.

no problem. unr did a great job but i am afraid that we were not able to save the girl (she showed up after the sun was strong and i was stupid enough to screw this up because i was pissed) so.. unless one of you can do miracles, the image will have to be without her. i will say that the guy came out great and even my wife was not able to notice that he wasn't there in the original image.

WOW! I think you could have positioned the girl and the guy together in that shady part of the shot so maybe it could have included her as well.

[blonde]

thanks man, i know that now. however, i was so pissed at that girl for showing up freaking late (with a cup of dunkin mind you...) that i really only cared about the guy :)

hide her in the bushes

hide her in the bushes

ROFL!

[mkuriger]

also, the fellow you ps'ed into the picture has no feet!

[unr]

Glad you like the edit with the guy. About having no feet if you look at the original... cant see his shoes in that one either
