Can anyone make this photo look like an ad? It could be anything, like a maganize ad, a dye ad..anything of that sort. Just want to play around =]http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=68h1w0h

I forgot to add, I don't need colors changed or anything altered. Just some writing on it to make it look like a mak-up or hair ad. =]

o well, didnt read that last part....

Thanks, that's pretty! Although, I don't want the face, skin, or anything on the girl changed at all. I just wanted writing, haha.

That photo is not suitable to having text superimposed over it, as DCobb's contribution neatly demonstrates.

FYI: ads are conceived, designed, and approved first, and 'executed' (photographed a.o.) second. Not the other way around.

I don't believe the original poster made any claim about the suitability of the picture for ad purposes. I took it they were just curious as to what it would look like. I agree that the picture, unretouched, would not be a photo of choice. The picture was used in an ad format to meet the poster's request. The end use of the result, I have no idea.

Yeah, it wouldn't be a photo of choice because there's no writing on it. I needed it for my friend's myspace, that's all. Everyone is editing their pictures in a cool way so I wanted to help her out. She's already model-like but I just wanted the pic to reflect that. Sorry for any misunderstanding.

Wait, is that what you mean why it wouldn't be a photo of choice? Sorry, I'm confused lol.

Personally, I don't find the original photo very flattering because she looks flat and pasty. There is no "life" in the picture. It needs to be saturated and contrast added. I think Emilylt87's version is more flattering. (Unless your friend intends to present herself in the almost "Goth" style to the My Space world.)

How is this one?

jammar190 · #12 05-06-2007, 04:03 PM

Very nice thank you! Although her lips now look alot thinner, lol. But, it's okay. And to the other poster, my friend is the most classically beautiful girl I've seen but your right. I hate my camera!! It seriously makes everyone's face so white =[

And is there any way I can delete this post, I already made a better one?? Thx.

pixeltek · #14 05-06-2007, 04:57 PM

fyi jammar190, i didn't touch the size of her lips

if you did one so much better, why don't you post it?

jammar190 · #15 05-06-2007, 05:32 PM

Well, I guess the outline must have messed it up alittle, because the original they look alot fuller to me, lol. But all I did was put words on it http://tinyurl.com/33kund. I think it looks best like that. Retouching sometimes goes so far where people don't even look human. I've noticed that on runway models. If you see them in the street they look so much different than they do on a retouched picture. Well, that was my try

And how can I delete this thread? I've finished it. ~
