Me like this picture. Obviously it's photoshopped. Look at the background. (NOTE: ME MYSELF UNTOUCHED, NOT PHOTOSHOPPED AT ALL. I'm chio by birth. LOL)
Good that I'm getting the hang of photoshopping, albeit very fundamental ones, they are a whole load of fun already! Along with Photoscape, it's quite a tenacious habit to edit my photographs. Not very much to chio-up myself, but playing on the effects, lighting and whatever jargons you can think of.
Don't say I not good. Shall share with you all what I've trial and error.
So this was what I did to the above pic:
1) Using P.Scape to sharpen the picture overall. (cuz photoshop doesn't have auto sharpen feature. Or at least I can't find any. I can't seem to grasp the amount of sharpness manually and eventually, doesn't turn out nice)
P.S. I think the lighting on my face's too weak. Wonder if there's any tool I could use. Probably the Desaturate tool. Brightening my face alone will seem too unnatural for the entire picture.
2) Using P.Shop - Apply new layer
3) The Lasso tool to crop out the background (which I'm still trying to get the outline done smoother, this one I did was rather jagged)
4) Copy and paste Lasso-ed area to new layer
5) Blur the area which I'm starting to get bored of, so I tried Gaussian blur.
6) Not enough, added more dashes of Gaussian blur. Like 5 times or something?
7) Nah uh, not satisfied still. Last touch was to just to Blur it.
And this is what I got. Am trying to make it look like some shoots done on purpose and professionalism.
This one nothing done lah. Only sharpen and brighten it for clearer viewing. Just wanna show off the lil' prank I played on Kym by putting 15 candles on her cake. 1 big one, 14 small one. Hahahaha.
Bye for now.
