PhotoPimping

Seriously, I've seen a few cool threads that actually have helped me, and a lot of "check out my sig" threads. I'd like more of the former, while retaining the latter.

They're the two things that should actually be here: sig request and feedback threads belong in graphics.

It's the testing joke-style posts I was complaining about. Sure it's fun and sometimes educational to play around but testing's become the photoshop playground (it used to be an infrequently used place to check if your sig link was displaying correctly but it's evolved since then) so it has more place over there than here.

(And that was just the right amount of explaining

)

Well, I tried like forever (at least 45 minutes) to make the subject merge into the background. Looks like crap around the cap and cheek still... hmmm.. maybe if I use a small brush set to "color" mode and do some blue around the edge... then fade it till it looks right... I'll try that. Maybe it's just the background looks so fakey, idunno.

edit: ok that helped a little, plus a little smudging to make the brim look less blurry.

Nice idea! btw taking requests, someone give an idea ill make it happen.

Resize your avatar so it doesn't look like crap with the automatic nearest neighbour resizing, then go to your GBATemp settings and adjust them to display it with the corresponding proper size!

Encore. I tried to produce some kind of correct refraction on the bottle, but I guess I sucked. >

 

[juggernaut911]

how'd u add shadow?

 

[Qith]

Lots of pen tool, layer mask and blend mode usage. I think I used a dark brown and the 'Soft Light' blend mode for the major part of the shadow. And Transform -> Distort to, well, distort the shape a bit.
