    Default Before and After: Photoshopping

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    Let me start by saying I have no artistic talent..at least not with a brush, pencil or even a crayon, that I know of ;).
    Digital has given me a way to express myself on canvas. I've learned how to use CS4, trying to add things to my images, cloning, masking, coloring, etc..and make it look real.
    By getting the angles and sizes to match in both images you can sometimes accomplish it.

    I believe we in OOTB can add, we are not restricted as in other forums. Open your minds..there's no limit to what we can do..it just takes time.

    Here's and example, image on top ok but bridge is only thing of interest, add a bear as in bottom image..and wow..image just rocks

    So thats the rule I've broken "Photoshoping something into an image, trying to pass it off as believable". Hope it makes sense! Tired and Rambling..

    Nice work Paul. I like the poster edges? You did a great job w/ the bear addition. The base image has interest. In a perfect world the bridge and bear would be more to the right in the frame-but this is pretty wild as is!!:):)

    Good job Paul! It works for me. I think the bear looks natural, just out for a stroll down the boardwalk... You don't actually need to get the two images to match in the captures, you can do lots of transformations in PS. To me, the hard part is to get the lighting and color balance to match and you've done a great job of that.
