[hotcocoa]

Hi

I have this photo booth picture and i dislike the colour of the shirt i was wearing at the time. Could someone change the colour to white for me and have it looking real?

I attempted it myself and it looked poor, like on some mario paint s*** lol

thanks in advance.

here is the picture:

As it's an easy task...

I could do it quickly before I wash my hair lol. Send it over.

I attached the image, can you see it or do i have to send it to you somehow?

Post the WHOLE high res image, not a slice...

 

[hotcocoa]

I have no high res, this is all I have, it's a photo taken in a booth..

 

[Inkz]

Please don't take offense...

But it looks like a mug shot from crime stoppers to me

 

[hotcocoa]

Lol! i agree. Can someone help me with it?

 

[Inkz]

Any good?

Good job inkz, I'm impressed. It still looks a little fake to me though which is not what i'm looking for, but great job nevertheless

Anyone else?

I bet you want it washed and ironed, too.



But, that's ok -- I'll get out the bleach, turn on the washing machine and get out the ironing board when I get home.

You didn't go to the right photo booth.

OUR photo booth offers many options besides color, and no one will ever know if you used a stand-in or not, e.g.,

In spite of not initially selecting our photo booth, I *will* get out the bleach and other stuff for you when I get home. LOL.

Haha! Thanks for the giggles Mr T.

I look forward to what you have to offer.

Given that with cell phones, its now so easy to take another photo of yourself wearing anything u want, cropped any way you want, and it's likely to be of much higher quality than the one you posted, if I may ask, what's so special about this photo?

OK, I ran your shirt through the laundry a couple of times. Try it on now. ;-)

Note: I also tried to modestly improve: the horrible color of your skin, the mottled colors in the background, the pervasive noise and JPG artifacts in the original that you posted, sharpened it up a bit, etc.

PS - There must be some really good / funny / interesting story behind why you wanted to have such a low quality image retouched when it could have been so easily re-shot with vastly better results. If you can clue us in, I'm still curious ...

PPS - Thanks, Inkz, for the idea to use a stock image to enhance the detail of the hem / collar of the T-shirt. Yeah, I know that I didn't follow the faint suggestion of the hem that can be seen in the original, but, (a) neither did you, and (b) hey, this was just a fun freebie, not a real job.

PS#3 - For reference and easy comparison, I also re-posted the original.

Not a bad job that Mr Tom. But I asked that only the shirt colour be changed. I look like I've let some young girl give me one of her cheap spray tans.

You can also notice that it's shopped, the pixels in the white are different than the rest of the picture.

As a freebie, I made whatever changes that I thought would most improve the utterly terrible quality image that you posted.

I look like I've let some young girl give me one of her cheap spray tans. ...

With respect to skin color, please compare the skin tones in your original and my tweaked version of your image to a photo that I grabbed for comparison from the United Press International picture-of-the-week archive that shows what a professional news organization considers a good rendering of skin tones. If you think that the skin color in the original version you posted is a closer match to the UPI photo, then you have a real problem.

You can also notice that it's shopped, the pixels in the white are different than the rest of the picture. ...

Of course they are. When making large tonality changes in such a noisy, artifact ridden starting image using conventional methods (eg, curves, shadows/highlights, etc.), the noise and other problems of the original are increased further. The only way to get something that looked vaguely like t-shirt cloth was to do some noise reduction on yours and then blend that with a real cloth texture. If this was a serious job, you would have seen a better blend.

Attempts at humorous sarcasm do not convey well on the Internet. Criticism of people who have just done you a free favor for what appears to be a completely frivolous reason is even less socially acceptable. Perhaps the reason for this is related to why you never answered my question about why you asked for work on this particular photo.

PS - Have you ever previously registered on this forum under a different user name?

No Tom this is my first time here.

The reason why I want this done is because I do not like the red colour on the shirt.

I am using this picture for my student ID Card, so I want it looking real, that's the reason.

Could someone please change the colour of the shirt to white for me and have the new inserted colour's pixels/noise similar to that of the remaining of the picture.

That would be sweet!
