1) is there anything i can do to help my complexion?

2) is there anyway to edit the background or is it too late? i found it hard, cuz the background would overlap the people lotta times.

If you could advise me on how to improve it, or if you would be nice enough to edit it for me and email me the improved version i would greatly appreicate it, , thanks for any help you can give me.

Okay… listen closely. What is wrong with your complexion? We don’t know which one is you! Or are we supposed to guess?

You did a decent job cutting out the figures, but the edges should have been feathered slightly before putting in a background. The background is all one color, so easy to remove.

But before anything can be said about what to do with the image, what’s the intent? Web? Print?

Now, here’s the fun part (for me). What you are trying to do isn’t easy. It takes a significant amount of talent and experience with photoshop. If you want it done for you, this isn’t the place to look. We’ll help figure out "how to’s" and such, but you’ll have to put forth some effort.

You wanna learn photoshop? This is a great place where professionals hang out and you can learn a lot. Ask specific questions, and pretend we don’t know what you want until you actually state it.

Sorry to be curt, but that’s the deal.

[Edit]: By the way, "lotta" isn’t a word, ‘mkay?

For future reference, if you are continuing on the same subject, it is easier for others to follow if you use the same thread, instead of starting another.

See help, i got 2 pics, and i’m trying to crop it so that it looks as if the people in each photo are in <http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx?14@@.2cce27c5>

By the way, "lotta" isn’t a word, ‘mkay?

That’s all you found?

guy is my friend, he actually gets lots of girls he’s just acting stupid in the picture. PLus my with my garbage cropping skills i knocked out some of his hair, and put a red robe over him cuz his whole body didnt take up enough space. I owe him a favor, he wants me to edit 2 pics so it’ll look like the 2 people are in one, i tried to start out with something easy like this, and eventually he wants me to make it look like i’m doing a pic where he’s dunking over kobe bryant.

i meant the complexion of the faces, one seems brighter than the other, is there anyway to darken one, or lighten the other up. ALso is there anyway to add a backgroudn at this point, like a basketball court, the beach, someone’s home, etc. THanks for any help.

A little gift <http://home.comcast.net/~phoz/bbs/HyoriFixed.jpg>.

Took about 20 minutes while I was having a sandwich. Not great, because I’m not getting paid for it, but better.

And no, I don’t have the time to explain what I did, step-by-step. Suffice it to say that it’s the product of lots of independent study and experimentation.

Of all people, I would’ve expected Phosphor to have an even more curt reply than mine. Well done man.

Ya know, I take exception to that. I don’t know how everyone else figured you were the girl, but it wasn’t friggin obvious to me. All I did was tell you to (basically) be more explicit in your requests.

I hope you come back and ask some more questions.

You’re welcome lopinop…

You caught me on a good day…I’ve been SLAMMED with work, and it was fun doing something easy for a few minutes while I was grabbing a bite to eat.
