fallschirmjager Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) So you can imagine the full effect if you spent some time on it and selected the colours carefully as well as ensuring there was no overlap etc! I love photoshop!!! Cheers Mike Edited June 30, 2010 by fallschirmjager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fallschirmjager Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 Alex Here is a challenge for you! Can you fix his right breast pocket so the button is fastened, I could do it with clone stamp etc but i think you know what you are doing better than I do..... That button has always annoyed me!!!

Alex K Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Hi Mike, anything is possible!, I alway believe that soldiers were not always perfectly attired, hence the undone pocket,( not always noticed on a B/W image, however when studying B/W images a lot becomes clearer), it would not be a major problem to re=adjust the image if desired, to me it would however be changing the reality of the original image. Attached. regards Alex K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
censlenov Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 thanks for posting the link i'm going to give it a whirl and see what i can do. Cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex K Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 (edited) Alex Yes lovely job! How long did that take you? Chris - here is a good link: My link Hi nice link. It took me about an hour to complete. I use Photoshop V4.1, and OLD piece of software (Windows 950, but it still works with XP.) Facial features can be tricky but with some patience, lifelike features can be achieved. Its fun. regards another example regards Alex Edited July 2, 2010 by Alex K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fallschirmjager Posted July 2, 2010 Author Share Posted July 2, 2010 Alex Excellent stuff! Thanks for the button, its less annoying now! Maybe I should email you the original so you can do a high def image for me? Post a pic of the 'before' pic please so I can compare BUT it looks fantastic the breastplate looks really weel done!!

Stuart Bates Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Has anyone had any experience with the product Green Screen Wizard? Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fallschirmjager Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 Stuart - you should go to the doctors about that, that Green screen sounds nasty..... looks more like a background replacement program than a full photo editing package but could be useful tool to have for those that want to swap around backgrounds! Never used it, anyone use it? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Orincsay Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 I just love restoring old photographs in PS. Lot's of work though.. The hardest parts is to get the correct skin tones. A good way is to always work in layers and paint on the different colours rather then just change the original layer. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jocktamson Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 WOW... Fantastic results guys, i dabble a bit with photoshop, but this is quite impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snayer Photos Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Funny enough this thread should be here, I came here to post about this. I'm a photo editor / manipulator and colouring in images has to be my favourite. The results are so rewarding, even more so to show people. Here are a few of mine (Rest can be found at www.snayerphotos.com) They look even better printed on glossy paper :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
