Photoshop... bringing people together.

[Kendog]

Mrs KD took the first photo of me a few weeks ago, I took the second photo of her today, same corner. Decided to have a play and came up with this, think it's not too bad... for an amateur. Especially as it looks like I'm carving her up around the outside!! :bye: :innocent:

looks good but it looks more like you went wide and are about to be owned on the inside :dodge:

LOL, I like that description better!!:Punk:

Not bad at all for an amatuer, the road on the leftside of your bike is the giveaway.

You could just try clear cutting your bike and body, and literally pasting onto the other pic, maybe with a bit of resizing, and then applying shadow is pretty easy, not sure about in photoshop, but in paint shop pro.

:D

ah, the newlands off ramp. Love it (the corner and the photoshop work)

Ahhh, well spotted!!
I have to wonder if whoever designed those three corners was/is a biker, because they really are fun, and so handy to home!
There was a cop down on Newlands road pulling up speeding cars when we were mucking about this morning, he got three in the short time we were down there. He barely batted an eye at us, which was cool, half expected him to come over and ask what we were up to, not that I was breaking any land speed records :innocent:

[Trudes]

LOL, not today!! I've been practicing not to, after I was told it was not the way to corner!:nono: I need some new tyres before I start that kind of nonsense again!

Hard not to scrap the pegs on my bike as the ground clearance aint the flashest....anyway,once you lean a bike over far enough whats it gonna do but scrap something?

Newlands.... brings back memories of my first bike, when I lived in Woodridge. Great corners as you said!

[tl_tub]

Ohhh you two own those bikes! Now I can put a name to the face, err, headlight

Damn it, so it does. Curse my noob photoshoping skills.

Now that looks better, might have a go at doing this (and getting the bikes round the right way, Suzuki in front thanks)

I can give you my file so you can see the "pro" techniques.

Cool thanks, I will send me email addy.

How will I see what you have done, or do you just mean the end result?

[Skunk]

Open the layers palette and you'll see. Call me if you have questions. Number is in my user notes.

[Macktheknife]

Bloody good work from my point of view, well done all.

A quick go at merging into the photo of Trudi (refer below for one that hopefully meets Cols standards :innocent: )

There's still a little ghosting around you image...

Yep, round the helmet was really bad, so I got rid of that. But I didn't have the patience to do the rest of the image.

[Colapop]

That'll be the black eye... too hard to see.. right?

It's ok mate, she told us this morning why you weren't there!

Don't ask her to cook some eggs, that's all I'm gonna say.

Take another look at the picture (you got the perfectionist side of me going)

[Colapop]

Back of the helmet where it meets the shoulder and the shadow needs tidying...

[Skunk]

Very good :) Still too much 'halo' but the lighting and colour is better... (Me really picky).

Subtle things count. Did you notice that my retouch had both headlights shining on the road. The brain doesn't 'see' things like that but does notice if it's not there. And vice versa.

I could give a full list of 'errors' but you don't work for me!
What you've done is still really good.

Thanks for the hints and tips, this is my final go at this picture.

But I have tried a picture with people as a new challenge (just for you Col)
