$50 contest for Photoshop Morphing.

If you can take the face of the person in this photograph (of really low resolution and full of grains):


look as neat and professional (clear bright face, skin, hair, nice blurred green background, etc.) as this one:


you get $50. Simple as that.

The most beautiful picture wins. Creative entries may get special prizes. The only limitation being that it should fool anyone into thinking that it is a professionally taken photograph.

Deadline 24 hours from the time of this posting.

Good luck.

 

nice phoenixofflames ... you can get more entries here.. just wait for couple of hours.. =)

 

Here's my effort, I reduced it in size as that is pretty much the only way to remove some of the grain - it is an inherent quality of the poor quality camera used I think!

EDIT : Oh my mistake I think you only want the face of the person? Whoops!

 

check pm phoenix.

 

Thanks

Yes, DaveyBoy, something like what birdsq had done but much much better. In that kind of a pose with the kind of background in the example picture (that light green) and clear texture.

I like how crisp the person's details look on your version Davey, but I want the person taken out of the car shield and put against a very nice creative blurred background of a pleasant light green, with a similarly sharp but bigger image.

P.S.: Creativity helps a lot too.

 

the background should be easy enough to replace, here's a splice of the enhanced photo.

 

Its smooth but its too blurry.

 

sharpened

 

to phoenix.. just a suggestion... you can borrow your friends Digital Camera, then take a picture of yourself then thats it... =) jut a suggestion... =)

 

Sorry, but honestly, that is looking really bad. I am looking for something like what DaveyBoy had done but in the style of a professional portrait like in the example picture I posted.

RNHalawi, I have a D40 myself. But, circumstances are such that I cannot take his photograph right now. Need it by tomorrow.

 

How about this ?

 

Much better. A little bit of correction over the right eye, reducing the graininess around the right hairline and then making the black actually black would go with nice error correction. Then sharpening, brightening and smoothening the texture before changing the background would do. Anything added to this can be a bonus.

 

oo i guess enlarging the photo really did make it grainy..huh i think your photo is too small to make larger....oh well at least i tried

 

here it is smaller:

 

It is still grainy, unfortunately.

 

my try
