A Minimal Request (portal 2 Glados)

Hi!

I read the guidelines for requesting a free image edit request but please excuse me if this is the wrong forum (?).

I have a photo I'd love to photoshop a pair of strangers OUT of. My stepbrother and I just did an incredible hike at Zion National Park, and I'd love to blow up the picture and frame it for his birthday. The problem is the strangers in the pic are very distracting (in my opinion) and take away from the main focus of the image. Therefore I'd like to request help in removing the strangers (the 2 people on the left, in the orange and blue shirt).


Typically I would love instructions on how to do this myself, but unfortunately I don't have Adobe Photoshop and my image editing skills are very limited (to Picasa, hehe). Therefore if anybody would like to help me photoshop this image, it would be GREATLY appreciated!

I understand a request like this can take a lot of time and effort so I will completely understand if I receive no offers. I thought I would try! This image is originally in RAW format and I had to compress it for this post, but please let me know if/how I can send the original file (I have a flickr account too). If you need any other images (I have quite a few of the same shot from a slightly different angle) please let me know.

Thanks and hope to hear from some of you soon!

Kind regards!

Hi all, I'm new to the forum and I'm a freelance researcher in image editing.
I'm italian, so sorry in advance for my english .
I'm also a little crazy , I left my job as employee 'cause I believe in my researches and I want to make them my only job.
I developed a new effect for substituting colors in images. I would like to test the goodness of this new approach useful for retouching photos ... so I ask you a little collaboration, if you want to help me, you should retouch the image that I attached in this way: change the color of the pen fromred to white.
It's important to me to know how much time you spent in retouching the image and what applications you used for achieving the result, so please post the altered image together with the requested info. In a few days I'll post the image elaborated with my algorithm.
Really thanks to all, in advance, for the collaboration.

If more help is necessary, go for it; start your own. We also invite you to post your work if you created one of these effects. Share your pride!!

I apologize for any redundancy to the links provided. Nature of the beast, and I guess more is better in this case.

If anyone has additional effects they would like added, please PM me with the post url. The requests seem to go in cycles, fads I suppose. So if you remember one from some time ago that you like and think should be in here, PM me please with the thread url and I'll add it.


Following is a list of contents which will be updated as new topics are added. If you don't recognize the effect by name, scroll down to the images in each post and see if this answers your question. If not, post your effects question in a new thread.

Post 10: Sepia Toning

Alright, so I run a page on Facebook devote to the franchise, Fallout. I stumbled upon this picture and thought that it was an amazing idea. However, the photo is choppy and very poor quality. I was wondering if anyone was up to the challenge to attempt to create a better quality photo for me.

My page has 4.3K likes. So your work will be seen. I'll obviously credit you for it. By request, if someone wants to see the page, I'll post it in the comments. I'm not trying to advertise it, just seeing if anyone was willing to give this a go.

The idea of the photo is to 'shop doge's head onto dogmeats body, while keeping the same colors as dogmeat. It might be a very easy job, but as I'm a big noob with photoshop, I can't figure it out. I can handle the text.

Let me know, thanks for reading.

Here's the image for you to use:

I would like to have this picture of my mom tattooed on me but I don't want the graduation hat and this is the best picture I have of her. The (amazing) artist doesn't alter photos in a major way and this would be out of my skill level. I don't know how hard it would be to make look good because you have to guess on the shape of the head and hair style, I can post other pictures of her if requested but the ones that I have I don't think helped the process. I hope someone is willing to help me out with this because it would mean a lot to me. I will post the final result if someone is interested. Thanks in advance .

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

Hi all

I understand my thread title may not make much sense but i will describe what i want and then go into detail below

1. The background image i want is for a blog, it needs to be a mixture of these colours http://i2.aroq.com/1/aldi-lidl.jpg whatever is easiest for you to do is fine with me but the nearer it is to all those colours the better

2. I want a rectangular logo for the header of blog, could someone please create a logo with the name LIDALD and for the LID part of name try to make it similar to the text of the LIDL logo and for the ALD part of the name try to make it similar to the text of ALDI however if you are unable to achieve this i will appreciate the best you can do even if it just something basic i will like it

The blog is http://lidald.blogspot.co.uk and is a blog i am starting to specialise in reviews for grocery products they sell, it is not a blog i will be making any profit from, it is going to be a hobby where i will post random product reviews in my spare time which i have plenty of

I will appreciate anything you can make for me, and i hope everything i have requested is within the rules

Thank you

Any questions please ask

Hello,

I'm a photoshop noob trying to create team t shirts for an event at my work and was trying to get my coworker to look like braveheart. I had a friend help me do the facepaint, but haven't had any success in actually making him look like braveheart. I would keep struggling through it myself, but I'm short on time and I was hoping it would come out well so my coworker isn't offended by it. The image I added was just something I was sort of picturing, but if you find a better positioned picture or something along those lines feel free to ditch this one. The image of my coworker is fairly low resolution but it's going onto a t shirt so it wouldn't be that crisp anyways. Thanks in advance!

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 again, i know its another request but its different and its something i have tried to do many times before and failed . Just want a logo for our business that can be featured on our business cards etc. It can be anything and i dont really have any guidelines apart from to be related to a b&b business. The business can be seen here : (www(.)newforestdot(.)com) .(remove brackets) This isnt really important but its always been on my mind and i cant make one -.-

Thanks again!!!

Matt
