New Sig

Trying to expand my team selection for sig



I understand that Josh Beckett is a hot commodity as far as sigs go, so it's free to anyone that wants it.

BTW: I am not to fond of the image quality of the vocal point pic, any suggestions on how to enhance it?

Also was thinking I should prolly blend it some what do you think?

I don't follow what you mean by poor image quality. Of what? Looks nice to me.

And yes, I would blend in the pic. It would go well w/ the bg.

Alright so I copied the Beckett pic turned the original Beckett pic to "luminosity" then put the copy over it and set it to "Overlay".

Does it look good/better?

One thing you may want to do is take your original before you copy the layers and blend them is to just touch up the edges with either a soft eraser or load selection>feather. That way when you copy a layer and blend it, your edges won't be so prominent around his arm and neck. Otherwise you're definately getting the hang of it, isn't photoshop great?

Try Desaturating the pic of the face on the left, and see how that looks. I think the color from the background will look a lot nicer, then. Maybe lower the saturation on the main pic a bit, so the color still shows, but it doesn't look like he got a wicked sunburn

Alright made some edits, better or worse?



I still don't like the brush choice.... but I just have to download more and mess around to fix that.

It's better but now I don't like the text over his face.

And also here's something I might try, just personally, you don't have to.

Take the main pic on the left, duplicate it, put the copy behind and put a small motion blur or gaussian blur on it. Sometimes that blends it in a little.
Or try doing what Wicked said and select the pic on the left, put a 5 or so pixel feather on it invert the selection and delete.

Just suggestions. It's cool the way it is.
