Need a helping hand

[webelf]

I need someone who is more skilled at Photoshop than I am to help me out a bit. I'm trying to make a Card for a friend, but the images I have to wrk with are not very good.

Here is what I have to work with:

would like to take the face and put it on someone famous like Catherine Zeta Jones or Elizabeth Hurley, but my photoshop skills suck rocks. Can someone help a bit? Nothing pronographic please!

Well first you need a picture of Catherine Zeta Jones or Elizabeth Hurley...

or http://www.publispain.com/catherinezetajones/imagenes/04wallgrande_catherinezetajones.jpg

hows that?

[morse]

Use the second one. Flip it horizontally. Cut everything around the face out. Bring into picture. Scale to the right size. Change hue/ use another layer with a layer style to get the color.

[webelf]

yeah.... what he said.... I'm pretty sure MS Paint can do all of that right :p

thats what i have to work with at the moment... which is why I was hoping one of those wonderful Photoshop gurus could whip something out.

[morse]

5 minutes.

[webelf]

Thats awesome... but can you do it in reverse :p
Takeing the face in the webcam pics and put it on the pic of Zeta Jones?

That really is awesome though... looks a lot like her without her glasses on :-D

[crazysniper22]

I love that 2nd picture of her man... seriously. She's so buff on that pic haaaaaaayyy! Its making me jealous at Michael Douglas :elderly: for havin her Grrrrrrrrr :D: :beer:

[webelf]

Anyone?

I will give it a shot though is there a possibility for a higher quality picture the webcam pic would be hard to blend into a higher quality picture.

[webelf]

those are the best webcam pic I've got to work with :/

Thanks in advance for the help :-)

[themachine37]

here ya go! this is the best i could do, sorry for the b&w but it made color correction easy :)

hope that works!

[webelf]

Now thats what I'm talking about :D
wOOOOt :-)

That totally rocks :D

Hi-Res - send it to me at webelf(at)cybersoapbox.com

[themachine37]

[webelf]

Just got it... Thanks ZB ;-)

[themachine37]

no prob

[=guinness=]

im not being a jerk and you may not mind but i thought this was "d&d support and learn to do it, not d&d free labor".

[morse]

What's wrong with a little practice?

[alialo]

Here's a colour version if you want it :)

[d100763]

yeah.... what he said.... I'm pretty sure MS Paint can do all of that right :p
nice..., Is there a slight chance you could do better than the web cam, the low res picture is very hard to manipulate, other than that I would give it a shot

[webelf]

=guinness=,
You are being a jerk, if that is your attitude. And no I don't mind, if you want to be an elitist snoot thats fine. You're certainly entittled and you seem to be well qualified. I asked for some help in doing something nice for my g/f, and these gents rose to the occasion. So much the better for them as they did something very nice and special.. even if they don't know how special it is.

Alialo - thats the ticket. ;-) Spectacular work. Much thanks.



To Morse, themachine37, ailaio, and all the others who have been kind enough to help out. Much and many thanks. My g/f was in awe when she got her card today. I told her I had a lot of help from a good clan of gurus, and she sends a kiss on the cheek to each of you. ;-)

Cheers for your help and work

whoa whoa whoa... tone down the vindictiveness a hair. be a little courteous, i didnt come and attack you or make personal comments because i dont know you. by that fact you dont know me. i was saying that the overall purpouse of a forum such as this is so others can learn to do it and not have to rely on someone else. I.E. EMPOWER YOURSELF.

don't come and attack me because i put a comment in on what happened to be a project for your friend.

p.s. read posting rules and realize that insulting fellow kirupa members is not a good way to get further help when they criticize you.

i placed no ill will when i posted so please dont become enflamed at me.
