What Would You Do #153

[windrider86]

Thanks to giovanni.dcunha we have some fun playdoh people to mess around with. Thank you!

Rules are simple, edit this photo in any way you want to. The only stipulation is that you post the steps you took to achieve the look you came up with. This is a great challenge to fine tune your post processing skills.

selected the image at right and put it in another layer and moved it a bit to the right. went back to the original layer and cloned out the right image.
selected the head, bag, arms, shoes, orange shirt of image at left, ray skirt and put them in different layers and changed their colors using hue and saturation, and using free transform adjusted their sizes, used liquify filter to bend the arms and assembled to make the third figure. put it between the two, flattened.

This looked like a cartoon to me. In Photoshop, I used the stamp filter, colored in the people, and added a background. The purse uses the dissolve mode and the woman's skirt is a burlap texture. The man got some hair and they both got eyes. The background is an orange fill, and then I used render/difference clouds. It gives the color that is opposite on the color wheel. Fun!

Used the rotating mirror effect, topaz adjust, fractalious plugins to get the look of the couple. Then I added 3 borders, using the pick took to use the same colors as int he photo. Then one by one used, used the inner bevel tool to create a 3 dimensional frame

I like what the people are doing with the "what would you do?" I would like to know if anyone knows of a good post processing program that does not cost so much. I would love to be able to do some of this stuff. I use picassa now, but it only lets you do so much. I can not afford photoshop at over a thousand dollars, I have a family and it is not feasable at this time.
Any ideas ???

GIMP is a free download...takes a bit of work to get comfortable with it. There are lots of tutorials...just Google it. I do not think you should consider Photo Shop CS5, but you might consider Photo Shop Elements 9, I'm sure it will have everything you need. Depending on where you live ...the price here is around $100 Canadian, tho you might get it for less.
Having said that have a look at Gimp

Script FU Amazing circles
Rotate image 90 degrees
Add a drop shadow
Then to distortion...vertical, a little
Add a vignette
Create pop art
