[edit] I burning your dog

The blur makes my brain hurt. The bottom half of the man, and the field are blurry? So, he's running (in standing position), while his body and the fire and the dog all move at the same speed. I like the concept of lighting family pets on fire, but this image could benefit if nobody in it was running. Except maybe the dog. Unless the dog is doing something else. That's up to you really. -- Major Sir Zombiebaron GUN • WotM • UotM • PotM • AotM • EGAEDM • UPotM • MAFE • ZotM • IotM • VotM • UGotM (shout) 00:21, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. Find a non blurry background and use that instead. De-blur the soldier's lower half as well; he doesn't need to be moving or appear to be moving for the image to work. -OptyC Sucks!

cun00:23, 7 May

You really think the blur is bad? I thought it enhanced the whole speed element... You know, the camera's moving, motion blur... that sort of thing. Plus it's friggin' hard to find a pic of a dog running with no blur. • • • SIR Necropaxx KUN PotM VFH HS VotM (blah, blah, blah...)

00:38, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Chop the dog into a static background. The problem is that it looks like the camera should be still. The soldier is standing in a static pose (feet together and planted), blurring his legs just makes it look bad. Great concept though. -OptyC Sucks!

An iceberg eating a ship.

Do you still have the MSpaint window open? It might look better saved as a png (or as a jpg by another program). --monika 00:11, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

addendum: I'd say the only two issues with it are the jpeg artifacts and the lack of a shadow/reflection for the boat, and the shadow/reflection issue would be best solved in photoshop, possibly detracting from the MSpaint charm. --monika 00:16, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

What Mon said (Mon insists that I use that name). MSPaint does have its uses. Evil ones, mostly. Just remember to get GIMP or Photoshop if you plan to ever not do evil. Sir Modusoperandi 03:14, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

The shadow will be added. it will still look like a JPG, but ill save it as a png. ~ Nezlr Join me in Nezlr HELL!! My Nezlrcons RTCL#1 03:54, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Eh, it's too late now then. The artifacts aren't that bad, and since they're already there, there's no benefit to the png format. It's a really cute picture, by the way. --monika 09:26, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, for starters, go put a "baseball cap" on (backwards) and check yourself out in a mirror. Does your hair look the same as before the hat was put on? Probably.

    - I know there's something still wrong with the cap, umm, I tried fixing it but cant. --Allahgator 00:30, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps it would be easier to find a different photo of someone wearing a hat whose head is in the exact same position? That's generally what I do in these kinds of situations, even if having to give up on a particular source image sometimes makes me sad. --monika 00:44, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, everyone is clearly from different sources when you look at it larger. Of particular concern is the guy who is second-from-right, he looks way messed up at any size. The light source is also very clearly coming from different places for a couple of them, the aforementioned guy included. Plus, at VFP, I'm sure at least some of the users wouldn't get it. I didn't.~~ S i r Ljlego , GUN [talk] 20:22, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

That's a man named "Lenin", Lj. He was this really important character in this song by The Bealtes. Back In The Is A Warm Gun, or something. I agree though. Lenin and Putin look terrible. The top of Putin's head is too blurry. Lenin's head is at a very strange angle. The face between Lenin and Stalin (a Kzar...?) has some weird black outline above it. Oh, also, this is more of a "Oh, I see what's going on here." and less of a "Ha ha ha ha ha Russia!". In fact, much less of the latter. -- Major Sir Zombiebaron GUN • WotM • UotM • PotM • AotM • EGAEDM • UPotM • MAFE • ZotM • IotM • VotM • UGotM (shout) 00:32, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

I have no idea what this is. Does that help? Sir Modusoperandi 03:30, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

It's supposed to be like drug mushrooms in a plastic bag, only they are mushroom clouds instead of mushrooms.RPBnimrod

Ah. Try making them appear to be in the bag. Currently, they just look on it, which is silly. (copy the background bag pick and use it as a "lighten" mask over the original bag and the mushroom clouds, so that only its highlights will appear. Play around with its transparency) Also, lose the short, white ones (they look like hats). What's the brown stuff in the bag? Is that the drugs? Shouldn't it be just mushrooms in the bag? What, mushrooms are the drugs too?! Well, I never! Sir Modusoperandi 17:58, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, the green stuff is actually catnip. I just wanted people to think when they saw it "hey look, drugs!". I'll work on the design, thanks for the reply!RPBnimrod

[edit] Tylenol Rapid Death

Please Help this Picture
I want to post this on VFP, but I know that I could get some advice to improve. HELP ME! EDIT: I think that I fixed it up, how's it now? EDIT: I fixed it again, how is it now? Image credit: RPBnimrod Nominate - discuss this image

When 'chopping, try to make the edges of an image match the shape of that image. See the "edge" of the pill? It's all lumpy, rather than round at the ends, and flat on the sides. Instead of negative cutting (where you cut away everything that isn't the pill), try positive cutting. Select the circle select tool (or whatever it's called), select one end (where one hemisphere of the circle matches one end of the pill). Shift-select the same on the other end (so that it's masking both at the same time. Pick the lasso, or line-select tool and shift-select the flat parts. Now you've selected the entire pill, copy and paste as a new layer. Ta-da! No lumps. It may take some practice to pull off (Ctrl-Z is your friend). Good luck, if you're using a mouse. Mice suck. Sir Modusoperandi 21:17, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

It's closer, but the dark portions of the pill are too dark (it's outside under the sky, but it doesn't look like it is). Try playing with brightness/contrast until it looks like it was there in the first place. The top of the pill should be brighter (as it is facing the sky), and there's still some messy edging around it (the black band on the top). As for VFP, I'll warn you: I've been here for almost three weeks now, and I still have no idea what will do well there. Sir Modusoperandi 06:46, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

The Rapid Death doesn't look quite the same as everything else, see how it looks blurry. The land of make-believe doesn't believe in me:( 13:02, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Can't think of a caption. Image credit: EamonnPKeane Nominate - discuss this image

Play with the contrast of the basketballs so that they match the painting's faded tones better. Maybe add a hoop in the background. Also, on reefer desk we don't help with captions. We can't, that's caption desk's duty. Sir Modusoperandi 22:23, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Not only the contrast, but also look for a filter (if you're not against that kind of thing) which puts it on a canvas, play with that a bit. Just an idea.-~~ S i r Ljlego , GUN [talk] 02:28, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

and for reference: The unshopped image that appears before all of them in the article.

Yeah, I'm submitting 4 nearly identical pictures at the same time. Fishing for comments on the physically-taping-heads-over-an-existing-picture effect and what might be done to improve it, and on the general progression of the pictures through the article. --monika 23:39, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

I take it that this "Megadeth" has had some lineup changes? I'm not familiar with this band. I mostly listen to polka, myself. It's a lifestyle, really.

Try converting one (or more) of the taped on faces to halftone (like a newspaper), or play with the colour balance so that it's more obvious at a glance that they're not from the original pic (the first one, especially). Sir Modusoperandi 00:25, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

So my intention was to make the edits gradually more careless as the article went on. I use a black and white Al picture and an overexposed Jimmy picture in the 3rd picture here, and in the fourth, have one cut-n-pasted head on top of an existing cut-n-pasted head. I'd like to take your comment that the first one is not so obviously an edit as a compliment and an indication that I'm doing it right, with your permission, of course. --monika 00:54, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Ah. I mistook "general progression". On a side note, I served under General Progression when we stormed the beaches at Normandy back in '85. Boy were the French surprised. I know this because one said "Quelle surprise!" after I poked him with my bayonet. Sir Modusoperandi 01:04, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

I am so bad at French, I had no idea what "Quelle surprise!" meant until it was used in a Megadeth song and I got curious and looked it up. --monika 01:15, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
