Photoshop Challenge (#5)

[jadin]

Well I was going through my archives, and I found a shot I've always liked but never been satisfied with. And when I saw it I thought... ooo! It'd be perfect for a photoshop challenge, and there hasn't been one in awhile. So I came over to TPF and there was already #3 and #4!

Anyway this'll get moved to the new folder when it's ready. Blah blah blah... on with the photo!

I need to find me a photoshop tutuorial on how to cut somethign out of one picture,and paste it in another...I'm not that good with PS. :(

[mad_malteaser]

I'm not great with Photoshop, but I love this picture so I thought I'd have a little play around...

pursuer...how did you get everything so it was so straight?

[pursuer]

pursuer...how did you get everything so it was so straight?

when you crop in PS there is a check box called perspective, when it is checked it allows you to move the four corners of the crop box at any angle. I just matched the sides of the crop box to the angles of the building. After it was croped there was still a slight bow to the roof, I used a 3% pinch (filter/distort/pinch) to get rid of it.

[Corry]

Wow...thanks! I'll have to try that later when I get home from work!

jonmikal, you dont understand how freaky it is to be looking at the poster above my computer and then look down and see it on my computer screen...

yours gets my vote for best so far!!!

[Corry]

Awesome job JonMikal!!!

[XsCode]

I've had an atempt, but I don't have anywhere to host the image and photobucket isn't sending me the confirmation email :( can anyone help?

TIA

[jadin]

How can you not love that poster... combining pink floyd with naked ladies is perfection...

Anyway thanks for all the replies so far, I haven't seen anything that I would consider a "keeper" but the base photo isn't that hot to begin with (as I mentioned at the onset). As far as usable versions? I'm partial to littleman's cropped version, albiet a little looser crop so nothing is cut off.

XsCode : this (http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2756&postcount=1) or this (http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/showpost.php?p=3208&postcount=1) should answer your question...

[XsCode]

I couldn't get a good mask on the foreground grass, so it's very over exposed....

[LaFoto]

Why is JonMikal's idea gone from his server again before I ever get a chance to see it? All I can do is read how other people rave about his version, but where it ought to be there's just the "red x of death" :irked:.

JonMikal!!!!

[Sergiozal]

I am too lazy to give more time to it :guilty:

[Sergiozal]

I like littleMan's version very much. :thumbup:

[LaFoto]

Not bad, Sergio. Not bad at all!!! Me gusta mucho. (No sé decirlo en portugués).

[Sergiozal]

Danke LoFoto, Wir sage nur "gostei". Dein Spanisch ist sehr gut...
Wir koennen uns auch auf Spanisch unterhalten.
Velasse Dich nicht auf meine Deutschkenntnisse.

Tchuess

Don't worry, it was just a "friendly interaction" won't happen again ;)

[Picksure]

Love the picture, all I really wanted to do was to PS out the lights in the background and change the lighting in the sky a bit.

Just had to have a go at this.

Your welcome

[jadin]

Quikmagic: I really like what you did to the building, you were able to bring it all into the light without blowing out the contrast. I'd love to know how you did that. I don't care for the sky and foilage, though, looks too edited for my tastes.

Tex: Nice job! Way to think out of the box and make something work with what you have. I sat here and stared at it for a while, just thinking.

If i remember rightly i changed the brightness a little, then the contrast slighty (after spending 20 mins with the magic wand tool cutting it out ) Then i gave it a new layer photofilter orange if i remember but changed the opacity to make it stand out more.

Hope that helps.

Thanks jadin, I tend to think in b&w and loved the contrast this image created.
