Photoshop Movie Poster Fun
I was having a conversation on Facebook with an old high school friend the other day, just reminiscing and catching up. At some point on the wall-to-wall, Photobucket was brought up, (an online image storage site) and it was used in context like I had never heard it used before… as an image editing application? I guess since I have never needed to use the web site for any reason this came at somewhat of a surprise to me, especially since my friend claimed it could do photo manipulations (similar to Adobe Photoshop).
I did not go as far as testing Photobucket and its capabilities, honestly, if you know how to use Photoshop or Fireworks, what’s the point? It did however give me some incentive to bust open Photoshop and stretch my muscles a little bit. I hadn’t really done any cool manipulations lately and it was just what I needed for a lazy Sunday afternoon.
Below is the before image (of my friend) and then the results after I was done playing. This little experiment actually came from a tutorial I ran across a long time ago and have been wanting to try it out for some time… I finally found the perfect opportunity.
