They look pretty good to me. And this is perhaps über-critical, but the guy's medal still pokes me in the eye. I'd have maybe selected it, and curved it down a notch.

Ok Southbay, How's this -- I found the guy and put the inscription on it..

[vodds]

Thanks all for trying these pictures but I see by cropping you lose most of the pictures background to the right of the man I think they are tents isnt there a way to contain most of background

Methinks Vodds is a leach, and there are too many folks willing to bleed for free.

I dont really see your point Also I am not a leach. Plus Methinks is 2 seperate words not 1 Me thinks Like so. you follow now. Also I had the understanding that Retouch was to help people with there photos. maybe I am wrong but I have seen several people here upload there photos for repair. So please
Enlighten me

[lurch]

From the FAQ:
Will you do my restoration/retouch/repair for me?
No. This is a site for learning, and we will gladly help you learn to do it yourself. We have a "Image Help" forum just for that purpose. Click on "Forums" on the navbar to get there. There is also a "Classifieds" forum if you're willing to pay one of our members to work on your photo.

And the archaic (a la Shakespeare) methinks is indeed one word.

[vodds]

well you learn something new every day here. But How comes I have read posts where they upload a photo & it gets fixed. what forum is that then. or is there a special forum for retouching or fixing photos. as like I said I have read several posts like that.

[Sweetlight]

I have no problem either way. We can all self edit and dismiss those that offend us or we wish not to offer assistance. All the help given was great. Good job Cupcake! I just like calling you cupcake! Sorry
Vodds, you will find those to help. Maybe less of an expecting demeanor may enhance your attractiveness. Take a deep breath, regroup but don't leave with your tail tucked between your legs, your fine.
BUT!!! What the hell does this mean? Is this sing-song, ha
"Plus Methinks is 2 seperate words not 1 Me thinks Like so. you follow now."

OH, It just dawned on me that this may be broken english. If that's the case, my apologies.

[vodds]

thanks for your reply Sweetlight. and as for Plus Methinks is 2 seperate words not 1 Me thinks Like so. you follow now Well it seems maybe I was wrong in saying Methinks is 2 seperate words as Quoted by lurch. so my apologies to him. Also I just like to ask LloydM how did u get that shadow effect on right hand edge and bottom of picture like a raised up effect in photoshop cs4. unless it was done in another program.

vodds,

i moderate this part of the forums. the official policy of this site is found in the faqs: http://www.retouchpro.com/forums/faq...faq_free_labor .

this is the quote: Will you do my restoration/retouch/repair for me?
No. This is a site for learning, and we will gladly help you learn to do it yourself. We have a "Image Help" forum just for that purpose. Click on "Forums" on the navbar to get there. There is also a "Classifieds" forum if you're willing to pay one of our members to work on your photo.

all that being said, i'm fairly lax about all this providing folks dont abuse it too badly. if folks are willing to do the work for free, that's there business... usually. so, dont abuse it.

I am using CS3 -- Layer Style - "Drop Shadow"
> Double click on the layer, check drop shadow, (or what ever effect you want) double click on the narrative and the drop shadow info is there
OR
-> Layer
- -> Layer style
- - -> what ever effect / option (options) you want --------

Hi LloydM

thanks for explaining about Drop shadow I had an idea it was maybe that, but I dont seem to have the shadow on right hand side & bottom edges of photo like you have. which makes it stand out more. I have enclosed what I did in cs4

[lurch]

Vodds, you have just proved to me that you are not a leach. I apologize.

[MiningArt]

Added a few more tents for a pano.

Hi Lurch

No problem what so ever we all make mistakes as the hedgehog said to the wire brush. Sorry When I said MeThinks was 2 words. But 2 B Honest I have never seen it as 1 word. Yes I love messing around with Pictures trying to repair. I have seen a lot of help here. with Photoshop Cs4. But I really must Try & get the hang of the filters & all the Plugins as I have loads I have collected etc. CS4 is a cool program. But I have also used a very very old program called Neopaint. & done some good patching up of pictures. Anyway thanks for your apology. hope you accept mine as well.

Hi MiningArt

Added a few more tents for a pano.

yes I see you have cloned those tents I can even see the joins, they need smoothing out a bit good try though & Thanks

[0lBaldy]

Squared up and cloned the round parts
repaired
changed to B/W.. applied Sepia
Used History brush to Lighten and Darken some areas

[vodds]

Nice job 0lBaldy

How do you Apply sepia in cs4 as still learning it. you say you used History brush, but when I click on the brush it dont do anything. or do I have to do something else before using it

Convert to B/W... then add a Hue/Saturation Adjustment layer (Colorize checked, Hue 30, Saturation 25, Lightness 0)

For History brush I create a new combined layer using Shft+Ctrl+Alt+E then open the history tab and check the blank box in the last history item which sets the history brush.... then adjust the brush Opacity and set the Mode to Multiply Or Screen and paint away using the Edit>Fade History Brush after each stroke if needed

[MiningArt]

I like the sepia in square format, so tried one. Took the sepia and added a little color just to see what it looked like. I think the background objects are trees, but just left them as part of the sky.

[vodds]

can you please show me how you did that colouring as it looks cool. can you guide me through it in easy stages
