Photo Editing. - Before and after.

Damen
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.

i don't find anything to rant about except for one. smile.gif 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. smile.gif 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). biggrin.gif nice work, damen. smile.gif

  6. Best Video Editing Software

    Its really distracting seeing people "create" what they think are master pieces on windows movie

    2 and Adobe After Affects 7 combined to make the best in the video editing range. It requires stacks
    of skills, you can download plenty of add-on effects and you can futher mod it if you wish in After
    Affects. These versions are one behind in the Adobe range since Adobe released its CS3 Prefix to all

    all the sections to find one that suits each issue, and from what I can tell there isn't a
    general " ask questions here about random stuff" section. I'm sure almost everyone here has
    been on YouTube, Google video, or a site like those that contain tutorials for photo shop,
    programing, or anything else that you can find on your computer. I was wondering if you guys knew
    what kind of software they use? I'm looking to take video of me working on my computer....
  8. Video Editing Software
    (11)
    I am looking for a free, decent video editing software. It does not need a lot of features. But I
    would like it to have the "slicing options", so I can split/cut films. I would also like it to have
    a simple intro option, just making simple intros with text. And the last thing, this is really
    important so listen up: It must not require my computer to have sound. I messed something up, so the
    sound is not working. This is causing my Windows Movie Maker not to work - since it requires some
    stuff. I know that I should fix this, but I will be getting a new laptop in a few mon....

    Does that mean that the Frame itself has a memory as I couldn't find anything to say this on the

    fixated with my blog. but anyway, my point is what if the forum was to include this feature so
    whatever you write, you could save them for posting later on. i was thinking maybe some people would
    have some stuff to do and they have to shut down the computer (not everyone can leave their computer
    on, and that would be a waste of energy), but they have already written their topics/posts.
    moreover, some people would have second thoughts in posting their topics so they could sav....

    Well, is quite possible that u use the Microsoft Photo Editor, or the ACD photo viewer, but all that

    a lot of options, like convertion (resized, resample) by batch process so you can make task like
    converting 100 images at once, is very helpful. Also, you can download plugins for viewing movies,
    listening music, and more, just in one program. QUOTE IrfanView is a very fast, small, compact
