I have just been playing around with a few of my old screenshots and Photoshop 7. I must admit that  I didn't really know what I was doing, I was just trying to find ways of editing them without going over the top....well that was the idea  

I will give a description of what I was trying to do.....


Pencil Sketch.


50's era print (I have to admit that this is my fav.).


Old colour photograph.


This was supposed to be looking through a bomber window, but didn't really work out!


One of those terrible cheap prints of oil paintings, that you find in country pubs, covered in nicotine.


Poor quality B & W photo.


Thanks in advance, constructive criticism and advice is welcomed.

Rifleman, can you tell me how to remove part of an image from one picture and place it onto another? I have played around with the magic wand tool and it's settings but I'm getting nowhere but frustrated.

Joker, this is not an easy task to explain, but I'll do my best in a PM for you....that way, I won't take up too much space in this area talking about stuff that may not be of interest to the masses.........that OK ?

p.s. btw, the magic wand tool is a good start but is frustrating to everyone who doesn't understand what it does....(it sees brightness levels)
I think this is the effect you want to acheive ?  8)

Will try to get your notes done after work today

Don't count on it Rifleman, I have strange sleeping patterns....been up all night already and I can usualy manage 2 in a row, just get a little cranky  lol.

Been trying a variety of things with Photoshop today, you know I have had it for about 3 months but never really used it for much more than resizing screenshots. I have to say that now I have started to play around with it I am blown away by the posibilities and can't drag myself away from it, sad eh.

Another picture I worked on. The original was a bit pale (the pic was taken with little light breaking through high cloud) so I set to working to brighten the image up and make it a little more realistic. I think it turned out ok and wouldn't look modified if you hadn't seen the original.

After...

Hey Joker, I think they all look great!!
Keep it up!!

Hey Rifleman, How about some "cross-hairs" for this target 

Cross-hairs would be very nice.....

A: We got him on sight sir...
B: Then drop the bombs!
A: But sir, there is a human being out there!!
B: They are the enemy, now drop the bombs!
A: But-
B: But nothing! Drop them!
A: Whatever you say

...............

B: HA HA HA!! Look at the sucker going down in flames!
A: That wasn't very nice

Just made that up thought i would share it. Off-topic though.

I do use Photoshop, and although I do use #7, it doesn't have to be, but you can do this with just about any prog that will allow you to select and fill......this one is done on a second layer, then with the ruler selected and the circle selected for me to see how large in diameter it is, I select one single row of vertical pixels splitting the image in the middle, and fill it with black......I do the same for the horizontal and VIOLA !    CrossHairs  8)
