Another Photoshop Project

A coworker asked if I'd be willing to help him clean up an old family photo:

He mentioned that his sister on the left is 13 years old and because of the way she's standing closer to the camera she looks like she's dis-proportionally larger than his 12 year old brother standing in the back. He wondered if I could bring her to a more appropriate size. (eek)

And he mentioned that this is the only photo where his sister is being held by his mom, so he wondered if I could crop the two of them out completely. 

I spent a few hours cleaning up the image and was fortunate to be able to make his 13 year old sister more proportionate to the rest of the family. Here are the two cleaned up images:

I hope these make him happy. 

Fun with Photoshop

I took some photos a week ago. As we looked through the pictures, the comment was made: "it looks like I'm down and out in my luck."

Here's the original photo straight from the camera:

I edited it along with the others from the batch by cropping it and adding some contrast:

Chris is a zombie nut like me so I thought it would be fun to add this lonely looking image to an apocalyptic image and add some zombies. I found the following images online:

A background:

A swarm of zombies (off in the background): 

A few zombies:

A couple of weapons:

Smoke for a smoking gun: 

A bug out bag:

Some dead zombies from the Walking Dead:

Blood splatter:

With all that in hand, I blended the image and the back ground together first:

Once that was completed, I added the other elements for this completed image. Chris wanted a smoking gun in his hand with a few dead zombies around. Here's the final image (make sure to click on it to see it full screen): 

Growing Up

I've been learning to use Photoshop at work and in the practice, I've been using my own pictures. I scanned in several pictures from my childhood and then decided to see what I could do. Here they are:

My Great Grandma Flint:

My Great Grandma Lisonbee with me and Sandy. We were about 18 months old, I guess.

My Great Grandpa Lisonbee with me and Sandy - the same day as the previous picture.

My brother's blessing day with my Great Grandpa and Grandma Lisonbee. I really like the way this one refurbished.

This is my single most FAVORITE pictures of me and Sandy. Love, love, love it!

This picture of me has some serious damage on it! I will continue to work on it, but here's what I have so far:

Such a cute picture of Sandy!

That's it for now, but I'm working on others of my siblings and hoping they turn out better, too.
I would appreciate any feedback! Thanks!
