So forgive me if i posted this in the wrong section but I posted it in the graphis design area and have not recieved a response at all so I just moved it here in case I posted it in the wrong area to begin with.

So I have come across this really cool graphic design and I was just wondering if anybody knows how to replicate it.

Here is the original photo:


Then Here is the modified version:


Any Clues?

Hi greentea,

Unfortunately this would be something that isn't really in the technical support umbrella, but if you didn't have luck with the graphic design area here there are a couple of different communities that I can suggest that are good with graphics; namely adoxography.boards.net/ & smangii.proboards.com/ off the top of my head. It looks like the effect you're looking to replicate should be relatively easy to do though

Thank you Ricky.

Would you happen to know the effect here?

[CheatAreZee]

I know how to re-create it with photoshop, though unfortunately that's not a program that's installed on my computer here at the office. Sorry. One of the two forums I linked to should be able to help though

I was going to offer to do it for you but I just noticed that there is an actual effect on the image, besides the simple cropping and text addition.

I can attempt to duplicate it if you want to but I won't promise a great result. (I know how it's done but it's not an effect I use so I would have to re-learn it)

[greentea]

That would be awesome if you could SLRdude!

I would appreciate it if you could show me how once you learned again!

If you don't have a filter that does it, You can do it manually with the smudge brush on a new layer and a small amount of Gaussian blur. Just blend the original and smuggled together and vary the opacity to get the result you want. It's best to so it with a Wacom tablet and pen and make sure your pen strokes follow the lines of the original image. Use low pressure and a low area on the smudge tool.

D: So that's all it is?

[SLRdude]

Pretty much! I've done it once and without a filter that automated the process it was a pain. I'm sure there are easier ways out there but that's how I've been able to duplicate that result in the past.

The photoshop filter is noise > reduce noise
