Shrimp is that a photo of your crotch?

Shrimp

not exactly, it's the crotch of the jeans. It;s the best part as it contains the most light and dark for contrast!

You do love your photoshop. Care to share the original?

Shrimp

Nice photo shrimp, althoughh the WB seems a little strange, as though you had it set to indoor lighting, and it came out a little overly blue, if u get me?

Anyway, the photo kinda reminds me of something you'd see in a magazine relating to an aftershave ad for men or something.

...and the spot metering on the croch to draw a female audience eh

Because im curious and you're happy to oblige a fellow forumite at no loss to yourself?

That is of course unless the image has been photoshopped to hell and back...

Shrimp

i dont actually have the original here on this laptop.

but, what i did was, turned the light off in the room and used the light form the computer screen, hence the colour, and I changed the green channel using the curves tool, finally added some contrast with the burn/dodge tool..

i was happy with it, i hope u are too.. I'll try post the orig. later...

Thanks progen! & zillah for sharing an interest!

Cool. Although I think theres a difference between dodge/burn and contrast. Contrast is an overall tonal adjustment, while burn/dodge is localised.

Shrimp

yes i know I've discussed this before, but by darkening an area and lightening another, you are essentially creating contrast.

It actually came out pretty well, got photo shrimp! I look at my next pair of jeans a bit different now!

Shrimp

Cool, it helps when the jeans already have a colour to them, like a green hue or something..

Some really great shots up already... I just can't think of anything for this one, might give it a miss, or search through some oldies,... cant decide.

Found something suitably bizarre..and hopefully managed to sneak it in before the deadline!
