Photoshoppers are not magicians so lets see how this is done. I'll show step by step images of my latest effort. Here is the picture that I want to turn into historical Jeff. Nothing reeks of history like a Viking. The best fit Jeff head I have for it: Firstly, to match the Jeff head, I have to reverse the Viking image horizontally. Usually I take a "cut out" of Jeffs head and place it on top of the body or over the face (or whatever) I'm trying to turn into Jeff and work it til it works. This time I tried something different. Working in layers I removed the face from the original image. This left a gaping hole where Jeffs gaping face will be. Then I slid the Jeff head image underneath the Viking image so Jeffs face showed thru the gaping hole. I used layers to add little feathered cut outs from the original Viking on top of Jeffs ugly mug. Using the "push brush" on Jeffs orig pic, I made sure his hair is out of the picture. Then I went to work on making Jeff fit better with color, tint, contrast and brightness adjustments. He starts to look like one a those walking deads. Then combine all the layers and save: The hardest thing a photoshopper has to know is when to stop. If you have an eye for detail you will want to work it til you feel everything matches, like DJ did with the photo grain in the urinal picture. Sometimes they come together quickly and sometimes you have to work it. That all depends on how much detail you want to get into. For this thread you don't have to be all shoppy like that^ and simple cut and pastes can easily be as funny and as good as anything more complicated shoppers do. Because this thread should be more concerned with the laugh as opposed to the look. It would be kool if over time we started a number of these threads with different people as the target. Cuz I'll do this shit all season.

No leads safe here. If we come back I'll consider it my present from the Mets. Today they offered me 15% off on anything in the Met Store just for my birthday. That's not what I want. I want a WIN!

So, what? Are we no longer interested in throwing out base stealers?

Oh yes! Muffy with the mad dash home ties the game, aggressive base running. Wright hangs himself out to dry. He didn't have to draw that throw.

Ohhhhhhhh, what a great play by Tejeda! His best of this young season. How the hell did he get anything on that throw? Looks like Baxter found his glove too.

And Niese gives it right back. Gah!

Wow. Right down to the grain. Great job DJ.

Murphy and Wright combine for the first run of the game. Murphy grabbing second on the wild pitch and then 3rd on the bad throw is big. Wright fights off a good pitch for a single to drive him home. 1-0 us.

PLAY BALL!

How depressing would this be if Buck didn't get off to his great start. It's still a bummer but at least some things are going our way.

Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal these words appear: "My name is Jeffrey Wilpon, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away. Wordshopped! Awesome!

Can't believe we let this one get away.

Wrights all for getting this over with.

Wow. Byrd looked like a penguin on ice. Great catch.

We need a lil of

He lived the way he wanted, and, in a short time, he'll die the way he wanted. Cause I assume laughing to death will take a little while.

GJ Bobby.

Damn. Parnell, you can still get your job done. Don't know what good it will be if you do, but hold em.

Turner has an at bat that I rate as excellent.

Ugh.Wow.Robbed.
