Hard Light?), playing with color balance, using the Smudge tool to make it look less pixellated, and the Sharpen tool to try to simulate the digital corruption in the original. I found that the best way to add shading was to select an area, take the brightness way down, and smudge it to blend it in. I'd figured out some things by the time I did the guard in the back, which I think came out better. So who is Jeff helping to bury? I know what you mean but don't look at it like your goin thru hell. Its fun. Sure the end result is fun, but part of the fun is how you can explore (sometimes stumble) your way to interesting and amazing results if you really use a program coupled with your brain to its combined potential. I read what you say there and I don't see you going through hell. I see you exploring the possibilities. I always run shit thru filters and check out how it looks. And every once in a while I'll come across a new way to do something, or I'll try an effect that I would normally never consider and the result is amazin. Love when that happens. No Idea what's going on in that picture. When I noticed this thread I searched google image for "historic pictures". I quickly reviewed and grabbed a bunch that looked good to use. Didn't read captions or anything. Initially I figured one of the shovel guys would become Jeff. But then I saw a guy behind them who looked to be Hitler. Okay, that funny face Jeff head gets a lil square stache goes there,*BOOM. I like the movie poster concept on the Buck Rogers. Esp the old timey lookin ones. I gotta make up one a those.
