:LMAO:

Long before I knew anything about using Photoshop, I had taken a portrait of a family in their house. It was a fairly close-up, closely posed family of four.
I wanted to use this new stretch of velvet cloth as a black background, for the first time. I didn't really have a way to use it properly, so I had my helper stand behind the background and hold up the bar I had it clamped to, while I photographed the family.

When I got the photographs up, I had this really eerie, ghostly image of my helper in his white shirt, holding his arms outstretched, in crucifixian style, bleeding through the black background.

I asked a friend for help to salvage the images, so he put a halo on the Christ Ghost hovering above the family.

 :hahaha:

haha  Awesome.  :)
I came to this world with nothing
and I leave with nothing but love,
everything else is just borrowed.

Fuck it, we'll do it live.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

:LMAO:

can you imagine what the result would be if someone asked us here to help?

 :evillaugh:

I'd help in any way I could. :angel:

And I REALLY would help.

Though the exchange is funny.

I would have tried to help him too, but I'm not good with Photoshop and I could not see what was even wrong with the original picture except for the corners.  Where were the white spots he was talking about?

I would have used Corel Photopaint. The white spots were at the point of each corner and looked like the original photo was a little worn on the corners. It would have been dead simple to correct... probably even easier than scanning the photo into a computer in the first place.

i'd draw happeh-type squiggles all over them.

:LMAO:

OMFG - this needs more information.

We could have an Aspie Obsession theme. I'd put The Beatles their in the background, than Spokane Girl could give them Benny and Joon heads, than to top it all off
one of the pervs here could really fuck it up!
