photo was taken on my phone a while back, maniped using paint.net.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

intended for use here, but it can only be used with 69% quality jpeg >_< also tried gif and other formats but cant get it to 30kb, thats the png there.

Paint.Net? :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Its a nice manip, but I see to much pixels.

 

 

 

Could you post the original photo?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

About the text, maybe it would look better if the effects are behind the name :wink:

The contrast went straight through my retinas like a sword through paper.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, original please. It's either going to be something you've done little too but has a great effect, or something which has alot to it, but looks bad. Because at the moment it just looks very high contrast with some scan lines.

ok gimme a sec to upload the orginal.

Eh, just what I thought really.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gaussion blur + Lighten.

 

 

 

Radial Blur, Zoom + Lighten.

 

 

 

Contrast and Saturation up.

 

 

 

Scan lines.

 

 

 

Text.

 

 

 

Border.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To be honest, it's not particularly eye pleasing. The stock is blurry and the outcome is ... Not top quality. :|

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And what's so bad about JPEG? I don't see any lossy when I use Save To Web... on it.

i use paint.net not photoshop so theres no save for net option.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and i didnt use that technique.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i can get you a psd if you want to have a look, see where i went wrong =)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

lol

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the contrast and sat up are fairly obvious. i didnt blur it one in the image you see, i did sharpen, probably too much i admit, used glow effect / 'adictive' layer type, sepia blended around the edges, scan lines on 10/255 transparency, very little difference without tbh, i didnt lighten atall however i did darcen a few times.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

also when i shrunk it i lost some quality.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i agree the result isnt that great, but it was mainly trying new ideas.
