Brains · 2 Sep 2007

What do you want removed?

Is this the largest image you have?

Result won't be terrific at this size.

emma24 · 2 Sep 2007

Im not sure if its the largest ive just uploaded it from my camera and its a new camera so im not sure.

Emma

Brains · 2 Sep 2007

OK, something like this you mean?

Be aware that these shots are over the forum size limits and may well be removed or adjusted when a mod comes along ... :nono:

Copy it now if you want to keep it.

Nice work Brains ... :clap:

Hi all sorry for the size of the photo how do i make it smaller?.
Emma

emma24 · 2 Sep 2007

Hi Brains thankyou for doing the photo for me how do you manage to do such a great job of it?

Emma

Brains · 2 Sep 2007

A quick 5 minutes in Photoshop and Bob's your uncle.

Would be better with a larger file but you get the idea.

Hope it helped

emma24 · 2 Sep 2007

So i need to get photoshop to able to do this then, which one would i be best getting?

Emma

Slapo · 2 Sep 2007

You don't need to get Photoshop, GIMP might be enough for you for starters.

Just another question is it possible in anyway to putthe photo in a type of jungle background with other animals i have no idea if this type of thing would be possible.

Thanks Emma

Slapo · 3 Sep 2007

It is, you can replace the background with pretty much anything.

There's one problem with 'anything' - the lighting is likely to be different, resulting in a unnatural looking result.

Unless you do lots of additional work to try to blend that in a way.

emma24 · 3 Sep 2007

Thanks for the reply it think it sound a bit too dfficult for me to do so never mind.

Emma

Slapo · 3 Sep 2007

It's not that difficult, but it will take some time to do.

A good opportunity to get familiar with the GIMP

emma24 · 3 Sep 2007

I tried downloading the GIMP but couldnt get it to work
Emma

Slapo · 3 Sep 2007

Did you get any errors?
You have to install gtk first.

If you want an all in one package, try the latest (not quite stable) release candidate

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gimp-win/gimp-2.4.0-rc1-i586-setup.exe?use_mirror=mesh
