Quarter four
I did not take any of these pictures. I used and edited them with permission. Except for the Google photos. Sorry.
Project used Photoshop to restore clarity to this old photograph. The contrast was heightened and the coloring was changed and desaturated, before a mask of lighter tan was applied over the background to make the subject stand out. Any impurities or imperfections were removed to try and bring this photo back to a better state.
This ripped photograph was first pieced back together in Photoshop using cut and drag, and the cracks and creases were erased with the clone stamp. The taped areas had to be recolored and entire areas of the photo that were missing were recreated with clone stamps and brushes. The result is somewhat lacking in clarity and is a bit blurry, but at least it's in one piece.
Gwyneth is one of the most beautiful women in the entire world. So, of course, being female and jealous, I just had to use Photoshop to age-progress her about 35 years. The result of lots and lots of painting (wrinkles), liquifying (jowls), retouching and recoloring (face and hair), and various other mini-projects are shown here.
I turned this nice day into a storm with various Photoshop tools that make stuff like lightning, and some color balancing and editing.
