pachuco Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 @ Barkbark00 for the sake of my mental sanity how did you do that? (Mean making the awful hut to disappear yet leaving the background? David Copperfield touch? ) seems like a lot of very careful clone stamping... I tried doing that but I don't really have the patience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried doing that but I don't really have the patience Just think how dumb I feel now: that's what I've been doing up all evening (until my eyes crashed :shock: ) (clone stamping I mean :wink: ) to my hut and did not realize he might have used same method Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tendercrisp Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 When he said "by March 2nd", does that mean it's due by midnight tonight? Or does it mean by midnight tomorrow night? Because I've been hard at work on mine for a couple of hours now, and I'm not sure if I'll be done before midnight tonight. I might, but I might not. I still have a little over six hours left where I am. But I don't know if that'll be enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tendercrisp Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Wow, CJMguiness (sp?) did the best in my opinion. He definitely has my vote. Great and convincing clone stamping effort. Sort of what mine looked like before I made the poor choice of having it look all cartoony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerkfight Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 The winner is Pyjo. I need some ideas for photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjmcguinness Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Congrat's Pyjo - great effort. I think a facial makeover would be a good idea, something like this before/after picture... There's some reasonably good stock available on deviantART, such as this... The idea would be to give the model a complete makeover - even going as far as changing the shape of features, changing the hair, adding jewelery, even putting the head on a different body, extending the original picture and/or placing the model on a different background. Anyone else like this idea, or have a different one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Ryan Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 CMJ, those types of overhauls are performed with a tool called Liquidate. I am not sure if this type of tool is available for The GIMP, but it is definettly included with Photoshop. It would require a lot of programming on a plugin authors part.

drew Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I've been working on some touch-ups in Paint.NET using the Blur Tool. I would say doing a photo manipulation on "models-to-be" would be great. I think there would be many entries, and it would be a great contest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Yeah, Mike is right, except that the tool is called "Liquify." :-) I think it's an interesting idea. Have you seen the Dove video? Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.Amy: But how did it end up in there?The Doctor: You know fairy tales.

cjmcguinness Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 CJ, those types of overhauls are performed with a tool called Liquidate. I am not sure if this type of tool is available for The GIMP, but it is definitely included with Photoshop. It would require a lot of programming on a plugin authors part. I've done loads of 'small' touch-ups on my own photographs and get some very good results with PDN - I just think it would be interesting to see what can really be done with the tools and plugins we have got. I know of the 'Liquify' tool in Photoshop and have seen some demo videos on youtube, but the real challenge is seeing what everyone can do without such a powerful tool. I've done some pre-tests on the picture I posted above and have been able to resize the nose, change the colour and position of the eyes and clean up the skin using various blurs. I know it's a longer, more drawn-out process with PDN, but that'll make it all the more rewarding. <> Here's what I've managed to do with the earlier picture I posted... I corrected the eyes so they are looking directly at the camera, adjusted the nose to make it thinner, changed the right-side of the lips so they are more symmetrical and then composited the face onto another stock model, shortening the head to make it more round; a little bit of 'Soften Portrait' and voila!<> But if anyone has some other suggestions let's hear them (or should I say, see them).

pyjo Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 The winner is Pyjo. Thanks. I don't think my entry was the most beautiful, but perhaps it was preferred because it was one of the most realistic, despite its simplicity. When I saw the last entries (topezia and cjmcguinness), I thought that I had little chances to win. Topezia's work is colorful and funny, as usual, and cjmcguinness's idea is quite original. So I whish to congratulate with other participants, too. A suggestion for future contests: two photos depicting the same kind of subject (two men, two women, animals, buildings, cars...) with very different styles (for example two portraits belonging to different centuries) are proposed, and the challenge is to modify the first one to match the sytle of the second one (without using parts of the second picture) Bye Pyjo.

Thanks Pyio! The fact that you might have thought I could win (really? ) honestly cheered me up, cause lately I've received more appreciation for my frames rather than my images so I was starting up thinking to resize my ambitions from "wanna be a painter" into "official pdn frame maker" , kidding I know I still have to learn a lot and study a lot to reach (or just approach) people like you, Oma, Ash, Madjik, Janettsue , Pretty Darn Neat, CJM, Barkbark00 just to say the few names that first came up to my mind .. (follows the list of all pdn forumers) I like your idea while I see CJM's not bad, but honestly really hard to make Ciao ciao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerkfight Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 It seems that most people, and me would like a facial makeover, but me and you would like landscapes. Im going to flip a coin on this one. Heads = Makeover Tails = Landscapes Looks like its the makeover, now i need to find a photo and make a thread.
