Thanks bpm, got a couple of tweaks to do but i think this is finished now :)

by bpmford » Wed Jan 11, 2012 6:05 pm

Definitely looking better now ulam! Front looks great now too!

Thanks JR good job you pointed that out i tend to over look things like that :)

Ok have adjusted them, hopefully they look better.

I have also 'brought back' the drinks on the bar as previously i had blurred everything behind them due to the fact they are sitting very close in the original image and for this to work i had to separate them and rebuild everything inbetween but having 2 blurred drinks right next to them didnt seem right.
Also this allowed me to lighten them both at the bar and slightly darken the bright light from the chiller behind so you could read the quote.

ok hopefully were nearly there :)

Yes, if you use adjustment layers then play around with levels/saturation/color balance and so on until you get it right.

Thanks JR, how do you mean adjusting the pics, as in the colour of the faces?

by JollyRoger » Wed Jan 11, 2012 6:06 am

Very nice ULAM! I think all that's left is adjusting the front and back pics so that they match eachother some more.

AAaarrrggghhh what did you have to use that flag for lol
Just done a search and seen your cover, cant very well use it can i :(

Did try darkening it bpm but lost its impact with the colouring.

Ok have found a countryside image that ive played with and also subtly(hopefully) kept part of the flag at low opacity as i really do like it.
Doesnt look as good as the flag to me but maybe cos i spent ages getting that one right :D

What if you darkened the flag ulam, so it is just barely noticeable that it is the Irish flag, but enough that the effect is recognized.

by Zungam » Tue Jan 10, 2012 6:21 pm

Your front reminds me of my cover for Kill the Irishman :) Looks better now imo.

by ulookingatme » Tue Jan 10, 2012 5:32 pm

Ok think this might be done unless theres anything else anyone can add?
