Opinion

---

I would like opinions on some black & white pictures I have retouched. Moderators don't worry they're not pictures of anyone. They're flowers and a stone face. Seriously. Stone Face & Roses

Hon, they are sooooo good. VERY gothic, and dark, for me anyway, I guess art means something different for everyone. My favourite is the red rose in the black and white. Job well done hon

ah wow how do u do that???? :grin:

The stone face creeps some people out. I have another one I'm think I'm going to put up for that one. The face is darker and it's eyes are red. >: ) If anyone has any black and white photos or photos in general that they'd like retouched please do send me a pm and I'll give you my email to send them. Oh and my sister can also remaster photos as in she can take that old photo that looks bent, torn, and worn from age and fix all of it. She took an old photo where half of the guys nose was missing and some of the girls face was missing and completely restored it. She's still learning but the photos that she's has refinished look amazing. She even added some color to the photo in places.If any of you would like to use the photos you've seen please let me know. I disabled the right click and am trying to figure out a way to disable that stupid little bar that windows uses for saving pictures and stuff (that thing is so annoying). Am thinking of using a watermark. Grrrr. Anyhow...I started that stuff yesterday because I was bored and I had to have something to do to keep my mind occupied.

Amz - I'm currently waiting to receive the new Photoshop from my cousin but am using Adobe Photoshop CS right now. It's very easy to do what I did. It's really just a trick.

1. Start with any image (I use black and white mostly for this trick)
2. Pick what you want to be colored and then trace it using the magnetic lasso.
3. Righ click and use "Layer via Copy"
4. Then mak the original photo invisible so all that you see is the copy layer that you just made.
   5)Pick the color that you would like the copy to be. In my case it was the two tone pink/flesh rose, the green stem, and the red rose. Now fill in the copy layer with the color you have just chosen make sure it is completely that color. If you chose a pink color make sure it's all pink and there aren't any dark spots.
5. Now you're going to use your layer options and choose "Soft Light".
   7 Now make your original photo visible again. You should something similar to the effect I just made with my pictures.

**It sounds harder than what it is.** Promise.

ahh kewl! I was using corel photopaint 11 for mine, but the trace tool was crap and made it go all wobbly.. therefore looking really rubbish!!!!!!! I havent got photoshop

The stone face didnt' creep me out, i love it.......but I like a lot of dark images, I definitely have a very dark side of me my dreams are definitely from the dark side (no not star wars LOL) I have paintshop pro, but never get time to play about with it, and never got to grips with adobe, tho i used to love playing with graphics etc....:)

The faces scared me. hold me. But I LOVE the roses!! Very pretty.

Delish come on over here, I'll hold you purr

lol

being held My favorite spot to be.

I think it would be neat to retouch Angel's avatar. Like make her lips dark red or something. Of course, you can't 'retouch' something that beautiful.

Well all she has to do is send it to me..i can even make you platinum blonde. :wink: J/K

Ok no need to make my lips red my whole face is red now *furiously blushin* but thanks Lisa *kiss*
Cenfath - have you got any other pics like this we can see??? they're awesome.

I am currently working on some right now Angel. Will post them as soon as I get some more done.

Look forward to seeing them hon, you have a real talent, no matter how much i 'play' with my graphic software i don't seem to be able to get that kind of results

Angel ~ It might be a bit before any updates are made to the page. I'm creating a new layout for my Target Stores newsletter that we put out every month. I don't want it to be boring and I want it to look better than some of the ones I've seen at some of the other Target stores here in Oklahoma so I'm focusing a lot energy to that at the moment. Sprung on me last night. lol

Hey no worries hon, just let us know when we can see em hugs

This particular section has been updated with two more pictures. Stars and Galaxy Cheers! I look forward to your comments Stars And Galaxy
