Photoshoped Image

[yass00]

Hello everyone, I had snapped two images on two seperate days at the same location which I thought would be prime candidates to merge with a little tweeking in PS CSII...

There where five seperate proccessors on seperate layers, involving multiple steps in every proccess:

1 ) Carefully I selected the silhouetted man, blacked him out & pasted into new selection with a white background to save for future reference...

2 ) Background layer ( sunset ) was croped, adjusted contrast, saturation to satisfy & a little selection was made at the very bottom as to use the brush tool to black out areas I did not need...

3 ) Selecting the silhouetted man & pasting onto the background layer ( sunset ) then free-transforming silhouetted man layer a little to get the proportions looking satisfactory...

4 ) Selecting the silhouetted man layer I added an inner shadow to mimic the direction of light also giving some shape to the body...

5 ) Copywrite and framing where added on seperate layers...

On my PC the colours are crisp as is the contrast & no greenish tint is visable... Something has happend during transfering from PC to APF, it looks a little blured, a greenish tint is visable and the saturation is out of wack :confused:

Hi Yass, it is possible that your monitor has not been calibrated to Adobe color space, which would account for the difference in what you see and what you get. Also Check: Edit > Preferences > General tab > Color picker > from drop down dialog, select Adobe (not Windows)

Now to your image ... it's great and reminds me of a scene from the Italian cult movie Allegro non Troppo, a send-up of Disney's Fantasia. Don't know whether you ever saw it at one of Melbourne's art house theatres. The scene your image reminds me of was the climax to Ravel's Bolero, with an image very much like yours! ... As you are into Heinlein I imagine the genre would appeal to you.

I calibrated monitor long ago to Adobe, it is the first time this has happend when uploading into APF... There is a glitch in the matrix !!

I never intended to recreate a scene from Allegro non Troppo though in reading your detail & not having seen the film Allegro non Troppo, shows me that that all humans desire and contemplate original ideas until we find out that someone else has created it before us, thus taking a fall down the hill again which took so long to climb & looking at the top from the bottom again, contemplating another way up & finding ourselves following thoses footprints from where we fell :eek:

COuld be because your web browser dispalys a limited colour pallete (256)compared with an image in PS which displays 1000's of colours also if you used the gallery automatic re-size and compression that would alter the image (better to re-size before upload) You can check it locally in your browser to see how it compares
