[edit] Pro Tips

A simple procedure for producing professional quality composite images;-

• Google...image...search
• Get the GIMP. Like MSPaint, it's free. Unlike MSPaint, it doesn't suck.
• Get a graphics tablet. 6x9 tablets go for $100 and up. You wouldn't write a novel with a mouse, why would you draw a picture with one? A hundred bucks will save you hours of fighting poor ergonomics (mouse bad, pen good). Your wrist and fingers will thank you.
• Use the highest-res source images that you can find. A 1000x1000 image eats RAM, but the end result will be superior to the same 'chop with 200x200 pixel source images.
• Increase the size of your picture to 400% while working on it (if high-res source images aren't available).
• Save often. Or, to put it another way, save often.
• Always paste into an empty layer so you can tint and fade that layer to match the original.
• Lowering the contrast can help blend the two layers.
• Use an eraser set to low opacity to fade out the hard edges of anything you paste (dont over do it).
• When you're happy with how it looks, collapse the layers, and add your new pic as a new layer over the original one, then use an eraser (set to low opacity) to rub out the top layer to reveal your modifications (This helps to blend the two pics).
• Simple colors modifications can be done this way too (B&W etc).
• When you're happy with how it looks, collapse the layers for the "final" version (be sure to save both a one layer image, for uploading to Uncyc, and a layered image, so that you don't have to start all over if you need to tweak it).
• Use a despeckle/salt and pepper filter to pick out any hot pixels.
• Sometimes a very small amount of blur works well at this point.
• Reduce your pic to 25% when done (or 400-600px, or a file size of less than 150kb).

[edit] Minesweeper

Please Help this Picture Greatest game ever. Image credit: Hippo666 Nominate - discuss this image

--Hippo666 06:04, 23 September 2008 (UTC)--

I'm not sure if I should change the caption and/or make it smaller. Any ideas? --Hippo666 06:05, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Make most of the bottom text smaller and, unless you're trying to use repetition for comedic effect, avoid repetition (and shit, mother fucker). Also, it's "Fuck your friends and family. You want this mother fucker" or "Fuck your friends and family, you want this mother fucker". Obviously. Sir Modusoperandi 07:04, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fake photo revealed

Please Help this Picture Thanks to advanced computer enhancing on a photograph posted on the net it was revealed last night that the latest wave of Delta shaped UFO's being reported across the country is yet another hoax perpetrated by the giant flying turtles. Image credit: VitalOd Nominate - discuss this image

--VitalOD 23:45, 29 August 2008 (UTC)--

It doesn't really need the "fake" paste-on. Maybe a date/time thingy in one corner on both before and enhanced pics, like a camcorder, instead? Other than that, nothing comes to mind. Sir Modusoperandi 18:41, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

OK , working on it. I was thinking of producing a whole series of 'giant flying turtle' ufo hoax pics to make up a whole article. - on another note do ya think its possible to get that ninja chopper award i got for the protips section over to my current username i had some great comments on my old vitaloverdose page now ive got nothing! Im so depressed >.< and if that wasnt bad enough i just got banned for a week for trying to cheat on the vfp's votes by logging out and voting as a guest..when i reality i was unable to log into my account and was just replying to a comment not voting. god dam it ! im so misunderstood .lolol--VitalOD 04:18, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

"...do ya think its possible to get that ninja chopper award i got for the protips section over to my current username..."

- Did you chat with Sannse about getting your password to the old account? Failing that, she can run a check to make sure that you're both the old you and the new you. You can say that the new you is the old you, but until you can prove it...

"i just got banned for a week for trying to cheat on the vfp's votes by logging out and voting as a guest..when i reality i was unable to log into my account"

- Which page was that? Sir Modusoperandi 04:31, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

[this page]

Thanks for the advice by the way :) . I think ive worked out whats going on. Conformation emails are no being delivered if i register with my vitaloverdose@yahoo.com so i havent been able to email anyone so far even on the new account i made as VitalOd. Ive fixed that now so ill be able to email her. --VitalOD 14:48, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nascar Turtle

Please Help this Picture And rounding the final corner of the first NASTAR (National Association of Stock Turtle Animal Racing) turtle race, racer 20 Turtle Stewart takes first place! Image credit: Readmesoon Nominate - discuss this image

I need some help for this picture, mostly touching up the number. Anyone feel free to help. + Mgr. Sire "oooooooooo" ♂UN

What program are you using? Functions such as Photoshop's liquify might be a good option to make the number better match the turtle shell surface. --monika 23:46, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! But uh... where exactly can I find that on PhotoshoP? I suck with image manipulation. + Mgr. Sire "oooooooooo" ♂UN

It should be in filters. It's one of the more complicated things photoshop does, so expect to spend a bit of time getting frustrated. But here's how I'd go about it.

1. Make a blank layer and draw on it with a bright pink pen curves along the turtle's shell that should correspond to straight lines on any decals stuck on the turtle. This is for your reference.

2. Go into liquify and make yourself a huge brush. Select the option on the side that looks like an egg with spikes coming out of it. Put the pen down so that the number is near the edge of said huge pen, and hold down until the number seems curved the right amount.

3. Go back to normal mode and use transform to get the number approximately lined up to the turtle.

4. Go back to liquify. Use the tool that looks like a brush painting the Japanese flag and a small brush size to mark off a small polygon about the same size as a facet of the turtle shell. (Mark around this shape, leaving it clear and the rest of the image purple.

5. Use a smaller pen and select the tool that looks like a finger pushing something. Use this to shift the shape thingie you made a little.

6. Clear the mask by clicking the none button and repeat from 4 to make more facets until it looks right.

Hope that helps. --monika 00:02, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Well, I can't do it. It's too complicated. Perhaps you can?+ Mgr. Sire "oooooooooo" ♂UN

More simply (but potentially less goodly), just copy the background layer, move it on top of the "20" layer and play with its transparency/brightness/contrast until it looks right. Maybe try rotating the 20 layer clockwise a bit (10-15 degrees, maybe), too, before you do that.

Also, as per your comment, this is Reefer Desk. We help. You do. Sir Modusoperandi 02:01, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

You sure thats a turtle?--VitalOD 01:28, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

That's the strangest bong I've ever seen. It looks like a whip cream dispenser. Any why's he deep-throating it? Sir Modusoperandi 19:27, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

its a Peak flow meter for asthematics.He was on a hospital visit at the time. I sooo wanted to go for the more obvious modification to this pic.lol but it would be a waste of time , nowhere would display it. ;)--84.45.226.149 06:33, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Really nice image, love the shadow on his suit. If you can come up with a quality description for this I can see it doing well on VFH. -- Sir Mhaille  (talk to me)

Please Help this Picture Not amazingly funny i know.lol Image credit: VitalOd Nominate - discuss this image

--VitalOD 17:30, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Actually, with a perfect caption to provide context, that would be the best thing ever. I shit you not. Well, maybe a little. Sir Modusoperandi 21:01, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I nominated this for the VFP out of repect for your judgement (plus if it doesnt make it i can allways say' see i knew it wasnt good enough. God dam it!') --VitalOD 04:24, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

I do like it. I just try to avoid voting on VFP on pics that have run through here. This page is to improve quality. That page is whether I like it or not. The two do not necessarily go together. Sir Modusoperandi 04:34, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

ah ha! noted :) --VitalOD 14:22, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

I agree, it only needs a caption.-- Multilit  eralist 14:26, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Men At Work

Please Help this Picture A typical construction site is seen here. Image credit: Gerrycheevers Nominate - discuss this image

thinking i might take a VFP run. whaddya think modus, funny enough / ways to improve quality? OfficerGerrycheeversKunTalk 21:26, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

You need to find higher resolution base pics. This one is all pixely. High res pictures shrunk down look better than low res ones in all their low resness. Maybe saving as PNG would help avoid some of the artifacting, most noticeable in the "orange" areas (JPGs can be really artifacty). The man & desk don't have cast a shadow on the ground. That means that both are vampires. Don't say I didn't warn you. The sign might work better in the pictographic style, rather than as a direct copy of the man/desk (if you can draw real goodly, that is. Yes, "goodly" is a word. No, I don't care what your English teacher thinks).

I don't render opinions here on how well pics would do on VFP. I'm not psychic.

Lastly; you're Australian, right? I know this because I'm psychic. Seriously! Sir Modusoperandi 22:12, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

hmm yea, it seemed like everytime i saved the image more pixel-ness would creep into it. i'll try again with different base images i guess. also: boston, mass., USA. OfficerGerrycheeversKunTalk 14:51, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Oh. Then why is the sign on the wrong side of the road to protect the man? Hmmmm? I knew you were Australian. The sooner you admit it, the sooner you can get on with your life. Sir Modusoperandi 20:59, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

silly modus, i'm just terrible at driving. i'm as american as apple pie. why, just look at this football here! wait a tic...a rugby ball!? no! it can't be!!! OfficerGerrycheeversKunTalk 03:07, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Dining in Hell

Please Help this Picture Tonight, they dined in HELL Image credit: eljawa Nominate - discuss this image

Ah...the joys of trying to get multiple different source images to match... See how Chuck's "black" is "more black" or "blacker" than the painting's "black"? Play with the brightness/contrast of...everyone except for Freeman and Jesus...until they "fit in" better (the same goes for the Hell in the window. It's "red" is redder than, say, the "red" on the second person from left). The Joker is bald on one side of his head. If you can't find a Joker pic that's both the right angle and has hair on both sides of his head, you can "clone" the hair, mirror it, and place it behind the Joker. You'll have to move it around a bit until it looks right. As for the text, set it to be 80-95% opaque (so that it fades a bit in to the painting, rather than appearing as printed on over it).

Lastly, why does the third from right guy look like that guy from Friends? Freaky. Sir Modusoperandi 22:03, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Giant Jesus is faded compared to the other guys. Alternately, the smokey fire is the opposite of too faded. One of those. Probably the latter. Sir Modusoperandi 16:48, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

hmmm not a lot happening there. think i might just re-register as VitalOD for now.

Jesus doesn't look pissed. Can you fix his eyes on the guys and work his expression? The idea works, I think, so spend some time with the contrasts etc. -- Multilit  eralist 14:31, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
