Damen 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2007 I decided to go look through some Adobe Bridge Stock photos and see what I could do for them to make them a little more interesting. So here is what I started with. After some editing of color balance, exposure, levels and brushing in some background this is what I ended with. I know that the colors of the clothes changed some, but I thought they were to bland in the old one. Brighten up the photo some. Any suggestions, or what you do or do not like is appreciated. I will try to do some more of different things also. Okay after getting some suggestions from another forum that I use I have edited it some. I have reverted the shirt to it's original stage then cut it out of the body. Then I hued it to match the background, cut out the undershirt then brought the brightness down on it to create a little more depth. Then I covered his bald spot as asked. I also made the background a little darker to match the new colors. A little better? Also a black and white version that I don't like so much. Notice from rvalkass: Posts merged. Please make good use of the edit button. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
serverph 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2007 i don't find anything to rant about except for one. the "halo" (white outline) which is quite evident in all the edited pictures (left side of the head). i dunno, it is just disconcerting me to find it present there... like a thick fat brush has gone awry in that section. other than that, it's all rave for your efforts here. and the least you liked, new #3, is what appealed to me as the best. oh well, personal tastes i guess (at least color-wise). nice work, damen.
