#111 What Would You Do?

[windrider86]

This weeks challenge, is from SandeeWig! I see some very creative pieces coming out of this one
The rules are simple, edit the image anyway that you see fit. Remember, to post the steps you took to acheive your final product. This challenge is as much about learning as it is about sharing with others so that they may learn.

Now, let's see what you would do!

I really like the effect you did on the background!

Quasimodo stared down at his love, Esmeralda, knowing that she would never be his. (Sigh).



Desaturated, duplicated, adjusted levels, cloned out the middle head, found picture of Quasi and masked, added some lighting effects in the upper left corner, flattened.

This one took longer than usual, so I've probably missed quite a few steps, but those were the basics.

Duplicated image, super over sharpened it, noise removal to smooth out. Used Topaz Adjust to level it out. On a new layer adjusted hue and saturation until I got the green I liked. Add a the background as a new layer. Changed the blend mode to overlay. duplicated 4 times. Added Flaming Pears Flood tool and a vignette

Just checking in on you Douglas. Did you figure something out?

[amellor]

Keeping it simple, thought I'd try and "save" the picture in a way that tries to remain faithful to the original (cuz I don't have any photoshop mad skillz :-)

[windrider86]

You certainly must have some skills cause you sure did something!!
