Surgeons of the sight and physicians of photos, I challenge thee! I lost quite a bit of weight between the time of me getting this photo taken and now (25lbs or so). I'd really like to see what you fine folks are capable of in terms of editing. If you can make some 'weight loss' look as realistic as possible, that would be just smashing. (not as if you guys and gals aren't skilled enough at that as it is!). ;)
Specifically, I need my face thinned out a bit and my stomach sorted out a tad. Don't worry about anything below the bass guitar as I am pretty much just using the top half of the photo. As a token of my sincere gratitude, for any entry, I will be happy to for you to message me whenever you like for my knowledge on music practice, theory and anything else. Any questions, just ask.
Take care and happy editing!
(PS - Message me if you need a higher quality version. I'm not sure what to expect as I'm so new here)
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??
So I'm trying to edit the images to look like these. I don't care to much for the graphics I just need learn what to do and how to do the editing. I'm trying to figure out how they paint the metal and how to make it look smooth around the edges as well as make the stones look smooth and sharp. The jewelry I've shot does come out sharp and clear cause I am using a Nikon D800 with a 105mm micro lens. What are the steps that I need to take in order to acheive this kind of look on the Jewelry. I'd really appreciate any feed back or help. It doesn't have to look like these images 100% but if I can even come close to having them look like this in fine detail will make my company happy and not fire me lol. Please please please help me. I've watch a whole bunch of videos on youtube about fine jewelry editing but it never seems to come out like this.
I have this photo, all I want is for the cracks in the photo and what not to be fixed, The embossed stamp is fine, unless you can do that too. I am not sure if this is difficult to do, but if you can help, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I linked here to the biggest picture of any galaxy taken by the Hubble telescope of Andromeda, M31. It is such an incredible photo, and when I zoom in, I can see each star.
But, as good as the Hubble is, each star is a bit of a blur due to the very long exposure times, and weaknesses of the photo sensors, etc...so the stars appear much larger than they really are. When you look up at night into the sky, you don't see each star as a blob like these, but rather, a pinpoint of tiniest light, sharp with emptiness around it.
So, the challenge is...is it possible to edit this photo to make each star a much smaller point of light, so the stars would appear as they do in reality?
If it's too big of a project, what about editing just a small frame of a zoomed-in image, like the pic above?

Hey Guys,
I am a freelance Photographer who primarily shoots night events (shows, clubs, etc.) and I am having some issues with my images coming out darker when I save them as JPEGS. I am shooting with a Canon 60D (Adobe RGB) and at the moment editing the photos in the Adobe RAW Editor (Adobe RGB). When I am editing the photos in the RAW Editor they appear to be in 24bit, but when I save them as JPEG (Adobe RGB) they appear to be more like 32bit (much much darker). Any ideas as to why this is happening? I would really just like the finished product to be what I'm seeing in my RAW Editor.
---> Side note, I just realized the images are only darker when viewing them through Windows Photo Viewer and Facebook (where the photos will primarily be housed). Does anyone know why the images are vastly darker when viewed through these applications? This is definitely a viewer problem. So how can I make my images look how they are supposed to while using things like Facebook?
Thanks in advance,
Matt
The first screenshot of the image in the RAW Editor, the second of the JPEG in Widows Photo Viewer.
***UPDATE***
None of my replies appear to be going through so I'll just post them here. Before posting this thread I attempted to save them as sRGB but it still had the same affect. I also just tried Steve's Save for Web method and have the same issue.
I believe I am saving them properly as JPGs (I will supply a screen shot in this post). MrTom, when I say 32bit what I meant was if you are editing an image in Photoshop and you change the color mode from 8bit to 32bit, it looks similar to the drastic darkness as seen with 32bit.
A mini solution I have discovered is to +70 the Black levels, this evens out the photos to roughly what I was going for once they save. I would greatly prefer an actual fix, but this will do if all else fails.
Thanks for all the feedback!
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
Just wondering if anyone can post step by step on how to get a get as much detail out of an extremely dark photo. Keep in mind that i am talking about photos that sometimes we take but aren't meant to be posted or send to anyone else, so it doesn't really have to look good. Here is one I have tried to lighten up. once I enhance it, I can see there is a iron work but I am not sure what it is (I have attached the original photo). I understand there is a limit to what can be done but I just want to know if I am reaching that limit. Thanks guys
In the first photo I want it to be a modest photo, If there is anyway to make it look like I am wearing a shirt. Something to cover my stomach, (My arms, back, and bikini top showing is okay.
Ok, this one is a real challenge! Are you up to it?
I've tried absolutely everything and I cannot get this to look realistic. I've been trying (for days) to add my sister's head onto another body. Long story short: My sister's birthday is this weekend and we are trying to make this "mock photo" into a card for her, it's a hilarious somewhat inside joke. It would be GREATLY appreciated if someone could put her face onto the other girl's body and make it look real.
For photo number two we would need the head on the right.
