This is an update to this thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.graphics.photoshop/browse _frm/thread/e3fc72701b8a661f?hl=en#
Inspired by Mike Russell, I tried to create the image I wanted myself (Picard and Data playing with GI Joes). I used GimpShop, and here’s what I have so far:
http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s99/someog/Photoshops/pic ard.jpg
Any general feedback on obvious mistakes I’m making, or tips on how to do things better?
Specific questions:
At this point, I really don’t know anything else to do besides find images that seem to fit, carefully cut away all the surrounding stuff with the hand-drawn selection tool, scale the rest of the image, and paste it into a layer. This leaves a white nimbus around whatever I’ve cut out. Any tips on the most effective way to isolate a figure within a larger picture, and cut it out?
Mike suggested I use "Curves" to color-correct; I’m not sure how to do this. Any advice?
