If someone can do some photoshop work for me I'd really appreciate it. I suck at photoshop and I can't even begin to do what my nephew wants.

He's in his high school drama club and they're praparing for their next play. They want a photo they can print on the program and as well as t-shirts. He sent me 4 pics (faces) of the 4 students in the play and he wants one picture made out of it.......all faces merged together so it's divided into 4ths but so they run seamlessly into one another.

If you would like to help me out just send me a PM with your email and I can email you the 4 pics. Thanks!

When do you need it by?
03/04/2012 06:48:41 PM · #3
A couple of days.....leave it to a teenager to ask at the last minute! LOL

Full faces or part of each face? If it's full faces, that should be easy and only take a few minutes.

eta: Karen, post them up in your workshop and put links in your original post. I might have time to help you before my show comes on in an hour. If not, someone will get to it for you.

I might be able to make some time Monday night or Tuesday night.

In the meantime, I will leave it open to see if someone else is available.

i wouldnt mind giving it a shot :)
03/04/2012 07:55:08 PM · #7
I'd be happy to help, too.

Thanks all!

I can't put the pics in my workshop, they're huge and I don't have enough space.

I'll PM anyone who offered to help and email you the pics if you give me your email address.

Thanks again.

Here are Karen's 4 originals. Each has a link to view the full-size image; use that, and right click to download it and work on it.



The 5th image is her "client's" attempt at a composite, to show generally what they are after; we, hopefully, can do a better job. I'm guessing this will have to be B/W -- Karen, is that OK?

Thanks Bear...... nickyb and Beetle already had a go at it and did a great job. They managed to blend the skin tones and kept the picture in colour. My nephew liked both but in 1 of them one of the people wasn't really noticeable even though he loved the result.

If anyone else wants to try feel free. That will give my nephew a few to choose from.

So basically he wants all 4 faces blended together with the 2 girls on top and 2 boys on bottom.

Not very good - but the quality on that blond haired kid could be better.

I had a very quick go for fun (sorry for the large post, not a member any more so linking from Flickr):

Your wish is my command.
You're even getting it complete with the next requirements, which were the helmet and the moustache :-)

Don't forget to credit/get permission to use these images if you end up using them, 'cuase otherwise there may be a "So my photos were used to advertise a play, so I sent them an invoice..." threads :-)

Actually, there is no need. He was looking for "quirky", not serious, so there was no need to try and make that poor face look real.

I even offered to work with him to get better originals and therefore a better composite, but that wasn't their goal in this case. He was perfectly happy with my imperfect Frankenstein :-)

LOL Beetle I see my nephew has been in contact with you.

Niall no problem, he is in the play, he took the pictures.
03/05/2012 08:39:02 PM · #19
Took a few minutes to give it a shot. A little scary! :P


03/05/2012 10:23:41 PM · #20
One last try.

03/06/2012 01:15:30 PM · #21
I know the point is moot, but I like this one. I used a different mouth, eyes, nose and head. one part of each kid, equals a young meryl streep.

You are all so talented!
