photoshop; show & tell

[Johnny O]

remember 1st grade? it's like that, but with photoshop. i don't really care what it is; serious or funny, a picture, original artwork, an abstract, possibly a third nipple. show me something you've 'shopped.


my friend chelly wanted a "chelly bomb" and this was the first draft. i need to rework the bomb though, i'm not very happy with it.

I have Photoshop Elements and had a bit of fun with a picture of my STI shortly after the movie Cars came out :D.

We were driving down the freeway one afternoon when I spotted a biker doing stunts on his motorcycle. I asked my 8-year-old daughter to snap a pic with her camera and got this:

I followed a tutorial and used Photoshop Elements to create my first OOB (Out of Bounds) creation:

That picture also inspired me to take this shot of one of my kids:

And turn it to this :D:

[dslrchat]

Wow, I am sure that guy liked it!
Now was he actually shuffling the cards yet keeping his head and body so still?

[joanna]

Wow! thats so cool......It really looks like magic :)

[Johnny O]

Now was he actually shuffling the cards yet keeping his head and body so still?

yup, exactly. i'm sure it took a few tries.

[xstacy]

Very well done....I like the added effect of the starlight burst/glow.....cool!

[dslrchat]

I have not forgot about this thread, I have something in mind.
I just need all the pieces to fall together now.

[joanna]

[Johnny O]

that's a really cool effect.

[dslrchat]

Thanx, I wanted to have the board with a more spinning effect and there really is no feel of height.
Maybe if his legs were bent more?

[joanna]

Thats really cool... nice effect

Here is one I merged from two seperate photos. The first one is the top photo of the stars. It was taken with my Sigma 20mm f1.8. My settings for this shot were ISO 1600, 30 sec, f2.0. The second shot was taken with my Canon 10-22mm at 10mm. I used this lens for the distortion to give an exaggerated look. Two strobes were used. One directly in front of the camera, over the model with a snoot. The second at camera right shot through an umbrella to fill some of the shadows. I then stitched the two together in photoshop. This was my result.

i love that shot. i'm a fan of anything that looks like it distorts reality a bit.

[SaltineKracka]

i have yet to learn how to do cool stuff in ps

[Johnny O]

[Johnny O]

[xstacy]

Very well done!! What time should we be there? :D
Guess Santa won't be bringing the beer! :)

[Johnny O]

santa always taps out early. he's a wuss. :)

[joanna]

lol... thats really funny :) very nice

[xstacy]

santa always taps out early. he's a wuss. :)

Lol.....can see that...he didn't even finish his beer!
I'm just learning how to use photo shop, haven't gotten to
any of the fancy stuff yet. Just basically being able to cut out a
figure and layering onto another photo. Pretty basic.
I think probably a few other people on here too, haven't used photo shop much....that's probably another reason why not so much posted here.
....and then others may have missed this thread.... :)

[Johnny O]

well, pushing the humor of the flier aside, there are a lot of different techniques used in there. i wish i could have recorded making it and then walked everyone through the different steps, but that takes two things a) a lot of time and preparation as well as 2) some recording software... unfortunately i don't have any of those.

[xstacy]

Well, you did a great job and I can only imagine how long it took you! :) Lots of detail.

[xstacy]

Hey Johnny! How did the house warming party go? :)

[Johnny O]

well, to keep it PG-13... it went pretty freakin' amazing.



back to the photoshop stuff... this is one i just got done with for a wheel company...

[xstacy]

Very well done!! Composition is awesome! The rims really stand out.

[Johnny O]

thanks... am i seriously the only one that messes with photoshop or what?

i don't care if you color correct a photo, post it here. this thread is for anything...




in the meantime... my lil' sister has been bugging me for a shirt, so i designed this. mind you her nickname is dirty. i know, how very white trash of us. any how...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/kinisra/Dirty-JO-web.jpg

[xstacy]

Totally awesome! Love the colour and the design! Cool name! :p
I've played with photoshop a few times, not enough to create anything.
More to get a feel on how to use it.
I'm no where near being able to do anything like that!! Not even sure how you would have started that.
Definitely like it!

[Johnny O]

well to be fair it's a mix of Illustrator and Photoshop, so i kinda cheated for this thread. =)

she liked it too, so now hopefully she'll shut the Eff up for a while about the shirt thing. hahahaha...

[xstacy]

Lol! It's cool....but seeing you did such a good job, she just may want another one... :)

[starlet]

Cool, I like it!
Will have to teach some of us how to use photoshop..:)

[NotStock Photography]

Johnnys chopping skills are legendary he does a good job of making straight guys seem not so straight.........Just like if superman would use his powers for evil

[xstacy]

He does one heck of an impressive job! :)

[starlet]

Artistic talent! :)

The photoshop is one of the best software in the world for photo editing as well as art making. It has the unique features and the vast quantity of useful tool for editing. Just take a look at this image it is the water reflection effect made in the photoshop.
