the source pic is too high rez. you have to degrade it to match the pic of the scene.

if you don't his suit comes out too sharp and doesn't match.

Azurik I would like you to use your AmEx black card to arrange a phone call between Hedi Klum and me. Thanks a lot for the prize for winning, since this entry defintely wins.


It took me 3 hours to do.


I finally decided to use your background, even though aspect ratios were off, and the people weren't looking. Then I had to get rid off all the lights and redo them all, for each camera flash, spotlight, and natural light. Then I had to add shadows and reflections. Then I had to get rid of your floating feet and blended them. Next up I played with your body posture in Illustrator because you were in to much of a pose position that would make your friend suspicious. Then I blended the copy paste lines, and changed hue, saturation, colors, levels, and matched blacks and whites. Then I added some noise that would appear if taken by a disposable camera.

Overall it was a lot of effort, but I defintely produced the best one here. No contest. I don't mean to brag or anything, but I am not modest and my skills are so much better.




So should I PM you about how to obtain my prize?

How am I suppose to use one with a cat? lol

BTW, I'm not meeting my friend until Monday night. He decided to work through the weekend and just take the week off for vaca.

I think he was being sarcastic.
He just took turunturun's pic, resized it smaller, and added the cat to it.

But here's my uber photochop
fixed the shadows.. made the tone warmer.. the original sunlit lighting was too cool.
Brightened up the blacks, since there are no deep blacks in the picture.

Alright I just updated my original..
new update
I fixed the shadows around the legs that made it have an appearance of a halo.
I changed the colors and skin tones a tad
The red carpet would bounce off red light to his shoes and pants.. thus I used the paintbrush tool set to color blending mode, and painted it very lightly with red. This made it blend MUCH better.

Very nice with the shoes, now just blend the sharp copy paste lines better around his shoulders and add some noise.

Stop bs'ing to try to get yourself ahead. You haven't even made a real entry yet besides your obvious fake copy of someone else's.
The shoulders look perfect. You can tell by comparing it with the shoulders of the guy in the back. Exact same sharpness. There won't be any noticeable noise when the black levels are so deep. Just look at the darkness up in the trees. Notice any noise? Didn't think so.

I would agree that it's good.
But I would personally refrain from using it as any post processing done would make it look photoshopped. And it's not a good idea to make it look like it has been tampered with.

At this point I think it's a tossup between virtualgames and shadowofmyself. Both are very good, great job with the feet and shadows. The lighting of shadowofmyself hides the chop the best but again, it looks like it's a little too much PP.

You guys need to tone the lighting on the inserted image. It's colors are in daylight, not camera flashes. Notice the yellowish hue of the people walking down the carpet. The guy everyone keeps trying to insert, is blue by comparison.

Did you just take turunturun's pic and change the colors? Lame.

I don't know Faulkner, I guess maybe my colors didn't look right on SOMs monitor....:)
