Easy Photoshop Challenge/request

So I am a self taught photoshopper and I had a friend ask me to do cover art for his next album. He's just a small time local artist and had the pretty generic idea of a photo mosaic of his face made up of other pictures, but I don't believe in doing poor quality work. I'm a little lost on how to go about this project though. I know that I have to place photos of the same color on his face to build it up but I'm not sure how to start. All I can find for tutorials on the subject either use the same photo over and over or use overlay or something to make the photos appear to be the right color when they aren't actually. Or people just use software to do it for them. Can anyone help with either tips or a link to a tutorial or anything about how to organically make a photo mosaic in photoshop. I don't want to use software because he wants to make money off his album and I don't want to step on copyright infringements and I also think it looks stiff. Any tips??

I want to be able to make a picture of myself like the album cover of John Lennon's Greatest Hits.
I've searched a lot of tutorials on youtube and It doesn't seem to look like it.
I want it to look like it is in the photo, Anyone help?

Here's the photo attached

Hey, im at work now and i dont have access to photoshop, anyway, is there a chance anybody can remove the background of this and make the size 4x3CM (Centimeters)? I tried to do this in one of the "webphotoshop" pages but didnt work out that good.
Its for an ID card and i have already checked if im allowed to do this in this way.

I have attached the file to this thread.

Request: Remove the background and make it transparent or with a white background.

So for the first picture as well as the second, how do you all blend the textures onto the words well because I mask it on or clip the texture onto the text and it always turns out bad which is what I did in the third picture, I darken the texture and duplicate the texture and clip that on the text so it is lighter and it still looks odd especially when I apply blending modes. Now I did obviously rush on cutting out the person, but I usually use the quick selection tool so it still looks a bit off, so is the eraser tool better to use as shown in the fourth photo to get the girl cut out perfectly? And those are my questions, about the texture of the text and how to blend it and how to cut out specific parts of artwork of an album cover well and how to wrap anything around the text such as locks as in the second picture, so I really need help on answering those questions because no matter what I do, it turns out like the 3rd picture. I need steps and pictures so I can see your workflow and how you all do these lyric edits, thankyou! (Right click on the photo right next to this, the little icon so you can open and see the image)

Hello,

I'm an amateur photographer and did a photo shoot for a friend.
I used a colored background (1 color) but I now want to change that background to white.

I already tried myself with Photoshop and as you Photoshop experts definitely know, changing most of the background is very easy but it's not that easy to do it in such a way that the 'borders' of the person look natural

I'm looking here for someone who is good in this (so definitely no Photoshop amateur) and who's willing to do this for me. I'm prepared to pay a small fee (via Paypal) for it because I want it to be perfect.

I'm talking about 6 photos.
Please note that I don't want the background color to be changed everywhere to 100% white, the (small) shadows of the background (like in the corners of the photo) and the 'gradient' in the background have to stay so it looks more natural.

If you are very experienced in this and if you are interested in this small job, please send me a PM.

Thanks a lot in advance,
Kate

My mom was in town last weekend and I'd like to make the pictures of her and my son and niece really pop and have a better look to them than just snapshots. I picture a solid background free of distractions, eyes popping and even skin tones. Both my son and my niece have dark brown eyes and I am having issues getting them to stand out.

I'm still learning how to do some things in photoshop but do know how to navigate mostly! Any critique is welcome or advice even! I want to learn, and with these pictures I'm not sure what I need to do to make them pop lol.

Thank you in advance!

Hello everyone,

I am writing to humbly request the assistance of masters of the visual arts, of which I understand none.
The matter is of an album / CD art, front & back, for my vision.
It is a mixture of metal and rap, more real than limp bizkit & co.
But please listen for yourself, and see if you like it:
quick.redirectme.net/mc-21/tehfirst_draft/

If you like it, would you want to do such a thing ?
You will receive the respective credit on the CD.
I have no idea what sort of image to put on it.
The album name will be "1st_draft", artist name is "MC-21"

Maybe you could contact me through mail or skype ?
tehtrb[at]chef.net

Thank you very, very much in advance, and kindest of regards,

Dear PSG members,

I hope I correctly followed the instructions on the FAQ by placing this in the General Photoshop Board, not sure where these requests would typically go to.

We're a rockband based in the Netherlands who are about to finalize their first album. While we find ourselves good in audio, we're a complete embarassment when it comes to visual art. Therefore, we'd like to request (and financially compensate) a quality artists' efforts to help us out with every visual art that comes with the band.

I've browsed over the internet and found no real marketplace where demand (like us) can meet supply (like you), unless you go for standardized solutions. Rather than doing this, we think it's more interesting to have a longer term relationship with a set of artists. Basically, while we'd start off with only the band logo, we'd further require assistance with album art and anything related to social media art or even merchandise.

Obviously we're not asking people to do this for free (although we'd appreciate anyone to help us out or who does it for the sake of challenge). However, neither can we afford a whole army to create logo's for us. Please let us know whether you'd like to work with us, what you'd charge and showcase your portfolio if you have any. Let's limit the request to a band logo for the moment.

As a sneak peek for details: the band name is Dutch Draft, which is a horse type that's as strong as an ox, and cute enough to cuddle, effectively summarizing our music. Most of our songs are about cars and women (yes, cliche, I know), and if the sound can't be produced with our music gear, we won't include it in our songs (paying homage to how rock music was meant to be!).

Thanks for reading, I'm looking forward to your replies!!

Cheers and rock on,

Tansu

Hello all,

An intermediate Photoshop user here... Please see the attached image.

How can I make the yellowish background more equal in color? I mean, how can I make it fairly the same color, get rid of the brighter and darker portions? Tried everything I know, no real success. Cannot use the clone stamp tool, there are also graphics (the little stars), will take ages if even possible.

How would you do it? Is there some kind of magic button?


I have also attached the psd file... (diffrent image, not the one shown below, same problem)

Can someone please photoshop this shirt and pillowcase so that they look as if they are just layed out on my bed? The image of my bed has been turned counter-clockwise 90 degrees. You can make the items overlay if the room in the picture of my bed is not suitable to fit both fully. I just need them to look like I took a picture of them on my bed to prove I have them. I need to buy a couple of weeks as they're gifts to someone and I haven't gotten them in yet Thank you!
