Only lightly photoshopped (for colour), most of it was me attempting a self portrait while playing with long exposure :)

Gary...thats really cool!

I am so ignorant to photoshop. I really gotta play around with it....I have no clue what I'm doing!!!I have a pic I want to use....but .......

AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

[MarieLaveau]

I wish I had the skills that some of you all obviously have. Great, great stuff here.:ssmile:

Here's one....I took the pic myself, but a friend did the coloring on it for me.

[GODDESS OF VENGEANCE]

These photos are GREAT!! VERY COOL:wes:

[xrayzebra]

MLV, I still can't get over that pic of you... ask DD what "number 4" means...

And, Ros... I can tell you're having fun. We're going to have to turn this into a swap-pix-and-chop-each-other party.

I should have gone to bed, but a chop-challenge can keep me up all night...

Here are my serious submissions...

http://www.xrayzebra.com/images/multidemon2.jpg

You can tell how I spent the last half of the 70s... (check out that little cat-demon guy, peeking around my shirt collar... I don't know WHERE the hell that little guy came from. I'm still trying to figure out how he got in the picture?)

...and...

[MJ]

Man I gotta get photshop installed!!! And learn how to use it!!! Nice pics everyone!!!

[xrayzebra]

Two more, than I am done for tonight..

First, an oldy-moldy... in 1997, ancient history for choppong pix, my "middle" brother, who doesn't know a damned thing about computers today, chopped our youngest brother into the cover of Jethro Tull's Aqualung:

Man if I looked at this image of you Umberto and the one above of Xray I'd think you are the same person. Cool image.

I think me & Xray might be cosmic twins.
He has a better chin though.

P.S. Thanks to Mr. LaBella for my photoshop program.:ropeman:

This is cool.
You do look saran wrapped.

Ros have you found the Liquify Filter yet?
Thats fun.

[Umberto]

http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e330/Groundhog66/Photo51.jpg



Now this I do not how to do.

[Rozz]

This is cool.

Ros have you found the Liquify Filter yet?
Thats fun.

Thats what I used last night for that crazy Devil lookin'ish pic. That was soooo fun! I need like a whole day to make somthin' really cool with that tool. Liquify is crazy!!!!!

Like I said.....I love photoshop. I just had to play round & create. Such a great tool for the imagination.
I still have alot to learn.

[xrayzebra]

We really ought to get a little photochop instruction forum going, but it might be a bit to ask, since JD has expanded so far beyond its original mission. Plus, it is real time consuming to learn the full, awesome powers of the chop.

Nigel Hell is (in addition to being a photography professor at an east coast college) something of an expert, having discovered, and (I think) having been published on cetain undocumented features and capabilities of PS. Yet, in our long, close friendship, we've never had time to sit down together and work PS. For one thing, it would be very one-sided, I am sure. I doubt I could teach her anything in return for her being my PS guru.

With PS, you can do almost anything with an image that you can do with either paint brushes or a camera, plus so much more... other than putting oil on canvas. I can do just enough, that I am in humble awe of its power. I am probably only using 10% of it. I'd like to learn more, but it's almost too tempting to sit at the computer all night long as it is.

[Groundhog66]

OK....Hahhahahaaa here I am wrapped in plastic!

I LOVE PHOTOSHOP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awe Xray you are too kind, and too cute! I'll show you anything I know anytime you like, I always like a quick study!

By the way, I'm sure you could teach me a thing or 2 about PS, its such an endless and vast program that I learn something new from my students every quarter so someone as smart as yourself is sure to have some great info for me. For every one way of doing something in PS there are at least 5 other ways of doing the same exact thing (just some take longer). You know what program you and Deadeye need to start messing around w/? Of course you don't becuase I haven't told you yet....you need to check out Corel Painter IX. I swear when I move some of the paint brushes around I feel I am pushing real paint. Plus the layers in Corel translate to PS so you can work between the 2 programs using layers. I just love layers! Check out these websites, they have pretty sound tutorials that won't leave you hanging and they show you how to do some cool stuff. Biorust is the best but the other 2 are good as well.

There is some good work on here. Good thread, some chicklets on the way for Dead Eye for starting this thread.:thumbsup:

Hey G3 I love the middle image!

Thanks Nigel_hell!
This is the first I've ever really used photoshop for artistic reasons. I've done some quick editing before but am really clueless as to its full potential. :devilzeek

That's some far out stuff! I agree with nigel_hell - the re/pink & black is just rippin' but I like it all. Way to go, G3! :bwah:

I guess it is kind of pinkish. It was supposed to be red and black though. :chuck:

[ded i]

It's a weird pinkish red where red & white pixels mesh - but a great look - very graffito - almost spray painted. I like the way the hand holding the knife came out

[xrayzebra]

G3 - I'm impressed. You got some really nice effects for seomone who claims not to use PS. And, I like what you did "by hand" - I mean, not just using filters, but stroking in some color and all. I think the very first one might be my fave, but there are a lot of nice ones there.

Thanks although these are all filters. I just chose the color when the choice asked for it. Haven't actually done any by hand so to speak. :ropeman:

[Fenlore]

ok, here's one

http://www.jerzeedevil.com/gallery/files/1/0/0/me-v7-altrted.jpg

[xrayzebra]

I thought for sure you did the red in the first couple by "air brushing" it in. You were sure tweaking those filters, then.

Fen: where did you get this quote - "I saw a star burn bright a sure and in a moment disapear?" That doesn't make any damn sense at all.

OK, I just dowloaded photoshop so, this is my first attempt. Nothing fancy obviously, yet!!! :woot:

I'll mess with this a little more, there are lots of options...it's really sorta confusing, but I like it!!!! :bwah:

[Rozz]

YAY!!!! Helloooooo gorgeous!!!!!!! WOOT!!!!

[MarieLaveau]

Beeeeee-yooo-teee-ful, MJ!!!:spin: :yesman:

You look great, MJ. :eyes:

I love this program.... I wish I could figure it out better....

[Mr.LaBella]

hi your hottness!

[Umberto]

Yay its mj.

a brown eyed girl.

Woot indeed!

[MJ]

OK, after hours of play time, and several ventures into the unknown, I've decided I like this one best!

[ded i]

Greenies! :heart: MJ walkin' that smile! :woot:

[Umberto]

Cool.
Your third eye is glowing.

[Fenlore]

Fen: where did you get this quote - "I saw a star burn bright a sure and in a moment disapear?" That doesn't make any damn sense at all.
Ah, well, you see I'm a highlander fan, not a fanboy but a fairly big fan. And that's just a quote from one of the episodes from the TV series when one of the guys is about to get his head cut off. Basically think of an immortal saying it.

[MJ]

Cool.
Your third eye is glowing.

LOL, that's not a third eye, that's an oil slick. :bobert:

[Ropeman]

Here's an angry shot, I was trying out the Photobooth software and webcam on my new Macbook. A very short lived avatar

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y60/nickshepherd/MyPicture-1.jpg

And this is a shot of the screen of a seriously expensive thermal imaging camera screen (about $100,000 according to the guy we took it from) It's used for checking out large vessels on production platforms to see whether there's any liner damage but I saw it and thought "Wow, how cool is that" and we pinched it from the Shell tech who was using it to look at various things round the place. See how my glasses are cold and my beard is hot.

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y60/nickshepherd/PB130002.jpg

I was going to upload my passport sheet too as I like how a repeated image makes you look more at the shape of an image rather than the content. Unfortunately, it was a Photoshop image and it still has some funny file elements despite being a Jpeg now.

[Mr.LaBella]

off topic:

Ropeman today you can download the REAL photoshop beta for MAc for free!

go and get it:devilzeek

[Ropeman]

Only for those with a valid CS2 serial number I'm afraid Ronsterdonster. That makes me S-O-L :ropeman:

[Mr.LaBella]

disregard that PM then? heh heh heh??? :idunno:

[ded i]

Ropey - that's some very strong imagery! The first is very harsh -painfully evocative of all that sucks us into madness. The second is just tripping me out - it's wonderful! Sort of like a combination of The Scream and Southpark - maybe a bit of Johnny the Homicidal Maniac ... anyway, I just :heart: it.

[Ropeman]

You are the best Judy, I was trying to be as angry as possible in the first. Worked eh?

[ded i]

You are the best Judy, I was trying to be as angry as possible in the first. Worked eh?

Working! Yes ...:jdevil:

Also - I want a thermal imaging camera ... !
Please tell story of taking the camera ... :bang:

[Ropeman]

It's just the usual 'shiny thing attraction' that afflicts a lot of guys. i was typing away, not doing any work at the workstation next to the gas testing bay. A Shell tech put down something that looked like a cheapo video camera.

Something about it twanged my magpie gene though and I looked again. saw a big fish eye gold lens "Hello" I thought "here's interesting. What's that then?" He told me and I showed all the right interested faces "£50,000 you say, well I never. Let's have a go then."

So we lifted it and started off looking at each other, then all the other guys we could see, computers, light fittings. We got our PPE on with the guy trailing along behind whittering on how he has to go out and check things. We were looking at the flare (very nice, big balls of fire look GOOD through these things), the sea (trying to sea if there were any dolphins or seals around). The poor guy eventually got his heat cam back with about five minutes battery life left.

You do need one, they have video feeds too, even though this one was just on the view screen. maybe government surplus sales/ auctions might turn one up.

[ded i]

Good fun there - and ver very cool. I will start checkin around ... Yummy!

[EmeraldDog]

Clydetz, thats badass man! You look like Agent Smith from The Matrix. Way to go.

Marie...smokin hot. Awesome rendition of yourself.
