I took this shot of my son and everything that could possibly be wrong is, you name it, it's got it. Problem is I love his expression and am calling on all you photoshop experts to help me with this one. I can send the hi res original if anybody's up to the challenge. Please try to help me make something (anything) out of this. Thanks!

Leroy,
Excellent job on that picture and secondly, how could you use that shot for your profile picture? You are too much. Made me laugh a little not at you but with you.

Thanks, I'm good at making disasters look decent... prone to disasters myself.

I'm glad ya got a chuckle from the profile pic. That's the whole point. People need to laugh, it's good for the soul. So, if you're laughing at me or with me; it's all good.

Wow - thanks everybody, I appreciate it. It's great to see so many variations on my disaster and they all look great. I was totally stumped on this one. Faidoi - how'd you get the brick background?

15 seconds with Levels and Saturation...



It looks salvageable, but hard to say how much from the low res file.

My try
01/02/2006 10:49:44 PM · #14

May as well throw my version into the mix. Just let me know if you'd like me to do the same to your hi-res pic.

Thanks again everyone! So I guess it wasn't such a disaster after all :)

nah... not a complete loss ;-) We all "miss" every so often ... some more than other *wink*. How else would we know how to fix it ... he he...

Thanks fotomann - seemed I missed a lot with these shots the other night. And let's just say my son was not the most cooperative model, unless sticking out your tongue, crossing your eyes or flipping your momma off counts as being a good model. Hey, I could have used that last one in the "mother" challenge !

here's my version...auto levels, lots of hue/saturation tweaking, some dodging and burning, then i ran the Midnight Sepia action and sharpened.


01/02/2006 11:56:50 PM · #20
here is my take. Levels, hue/sat ,usm to add contrast, reduce noice. usm

01/03/2006 12:03:53 AM · #21
here is my take on it:



PP: Crop, Levels, Reduce Noise, Sepia with Red Filter, then Stroke (for frame)
