Looking for Photoshop gurus for long term contract work


Yeah..that Grid ap looks like it would work..would need a job though at $150 bucks a copy.
 
I tried it once but didn't find it all that useful, nor is it simple to use. It essentially expands upon the type of warp and liquefy functions that you find in Photoshop. It still requires a lot of time to get right. Once you have though, the template/grid can be used any as often as needed, but only for the exact same piece of furniture.
 
Heed..the voice of experience speaks!

Not that I'm saying the discussion taking place is OT or inappropriate..... But is it right that we should be discussing these things here?

Regardless how the plug-in fairs ..... By posting the link to the plug-in, the OP will have the means to do it in PS assuming he knows how to use it or takes the initiative to know how to use it.


And because of that, you guys or someone among you may lose out on the opportunity to get the job.


It's still freelancer's prerogative whether to accept or turn down the OP's offer.


I'll leave things as is. Unless you guys think otherwise.....

But wait...we are supposed to practice some kind of magic here. Just wave that Photoshop wand and wonderful and magic things happen with little cost consequence to the client. Somehow, many clients believe that since this work is so "easy" that it's value is somehow lowered. :rolleyes:

This is one particular instance and offer where I will not agree that you guys should lower your value just for the sake of earning a buck or 2.

As for the "magic wand" you mention...... on bended knee.... tell me were where to get one ASAP. It will make my design work life a breeze.... :bustagut:.
 
I certainly could be wrong, but I don't think the OP is interested in doing this work his or herself, that's why they're here soliciting help. I trust Hawkeyes assessment of the software and I don't think it would be that helpful anyway.

Notice Hawkeye mentions warp and liquify. As has been mentioned, I've also played with enough displacement to know that this will be much more work than I think the OP expects in that it will require more than displacement techniques. So I agree with dv8, that anyone considering this job, keep your estimates high.

You guys don't have a magic wand? :cry:

I'm offering the information to anyone who might want to try it in conjunction with taking on this job. Unless the OP is very experienced with Photoshop, the software would be of no use to them. It is not anywhere close to a one click solution. Additionally even after warping/distorting one still has add highlights and shadows.
 
I doubt any plugin could complete the job, so a PS guru is still called for. But where is this thread going. My beard is down to my knees and I'm halfway through my hundred year's sleep.
 
Ha..I wish!:lol:

Hi Sam,
You are correct in that we don't want to do this work and are looking for persons who have the skills, reliability and professionalism we can count on for the long haul. One applicant initially said it would take hours to do each one, but after he actually did about 8 for practice he apparently learned techniques, or found a wand, to get his time down to about 15 minutes. We don't care what people charge per hour. We only care about how much we would be charged for a professional result.
 
heres my try velvet

Was he using the same image (chair)?

If so, as Hawkeye has explained, he simply divided the areas of the chair into separate layers and made a displacement mask for each layer (or used a blend mode) and added the fabric to the individuale layers in the right direction. So this would explain how he was able to do them quickly.

If all the furniture items were different, then this process would have to be applied to each and take up much more time. I'm not saying it cant be done, I'm saying it could prove to be a lot of work.

Note: Starting off with a neutral colored chair/furniture would greatly help.
