More Photoshop practice; The Jenny

Postby Wing Nut » Sun May 02, 2004 11:12 pm

I spent quite a while on this, and there are several areas I know that will get picked out.  Unfortunately, in some places, I don't think a perfect 'alteration' would have been possible.  I know at my level of expertise, it's not.  I don't consider this my best work ever, but I tried several new things this time.

Again, please tear it apart without fear of hurting my feelings.  I don't get any better unless I know where I'm screwing up.

I'd say the area round the tail has been done... especially the tree above the blue line .... If it aint then I'm stumped ... if it is then put some more leaves on it.

Otherwise its a lovely shot  ;D

cheers

the towel by the fire extinguisher seems to have the ability to hover a little:)

Something removed to the right of the aircraft, mainly between the two wings.

Also, the fire extinguisher and towel look very odd, can't say why ???

;D

I don't think that's a towel.  I think it's a bag of some sort...  :)

Not knowing what it looked like before editing it's difficult to comment. I don't think anyone casually looking at the photo would notice anything obviously wrong. This is surely the object of the exercise so well done old chap. ;)

PS. That bag or whatever it is does look a tad strange. It might be worth replacing it with something else or removing it altogether.

PPS. On second thoughts it looks like a streamer attached to the wingtip.

Something has been removed that was on the right hand side of the picture. One of the propblades looks fuzzy and generally wrong, and there are some smudges on the tree behind that blade. Also there is an odd little black bit on the end of the prop. The forward wingstrut on the far right hand side also looks a bit fuzzy and smudged. The skid on the right looks a little too identical to the one on the left and generally the whole wingtip on that side doesn't look right to me. Making me believe that something on the right hand side of the picture has been removed. :)

I thought the trees looked odd, just above the rudder....
That was not original, surely?

Well, you are right about that.  What caused the bluriness though was that I cloned it from the tops of the other trees.  They must have been moving in the breeze.  The prop itself, I did not touch.

Here's the original:

I borrowed these bushes to insert.  I thought I had it reasonably matched, but I guess not...   :)

What strikes me as odd is that the towel/bag/thing and fire extinguisher look fake in the second (origional) version as well.  I think it's that they cast no shadows.

Ken, that is truely stunning.

Some contructive criticism:

The only mistake you made was that the bushes you 'borrowed' are slightly blurred, and the picture is very sharp, which means they do not quite fit in.

Also, the line between the grass and the trees from the left of the pic to just above the cockpit is not straight. This may be as it is in real life, but it looks very edited. The trees along that line are as I mentioned above, slightly too blurred to fit in properly.

Have a go at finding some bushes to 'borrow' that are of the same sharpness as the picture.

Extremely well done though, I am amazed ;)
