Bag of goodies

Oct 01, 2006 20:50

Yup! i finally got around to posting the Pretender stuff I said I was going to post for the anniversary. Still I have a friend who thinks that if I ever manage to get a birthday card to anyone on time the Earth may just stop spinning. I guess we should be thankful I got it here at all, hmm ( Read more... )

icons, colour bars, manips, the pretender

I watched The Pretender for all its years. It is odd seeing new fans. It has been gone so long. I am blanking on who Emily is though. Was that Jared's sister? I know his brother died. The actor who plays Ethan is on my soap. He was on before The Pretender and returned later on. The Pretender himself was actually on one of my soaps for years.

Yeah, I have to admit to some extreme geekiness in knowing pretty much all of that. (did you mean Days of our Lives, or General Hospital?) :S I was rather obsessed.

Yeah, Emily was Jarod's sister, she was briefly in the season one finale, you saw her getting out of a taxi, behind their mother. She was also in the season four finale - Lyle pushed her out a window. And yeah, Kyle died, but that hasn't stopped me manipping him in.

Cool a fellow soap fan. GH and DOOL and many others over the years. I thought Kyle was Miss Parker's brother?

Yeah back in my teen years I used to be fairly addicted to DOOL. I just loved all the crazy plotlines. For some reason I always remember actors who have been in those soaps, I think its because there are so many actors that have been in one or the other so it stands out.

hehe that parker wedding pic is awesome =)

Thanks! That was the one I was least happy about. The original pic is of Billie Piper and the two have different skin tones, and I just couldn't get them to blend.

Boo, that's just... bizarre. *goes off cackling wildly*

kazzy October 1 2006, 20:53:45 UTC

I think bizarre is probaly the best word to use! :p

hehe, screwed up love, I'll say!
Good versatility with so many versions of that one!

And that's an interesting family album.
I think there's just some edge and so that might need slight softening up, ie blur tool applied on them, there's for instance a slightly more sharp chin section in the last image. And as you said before, the skin tone on the face vs the rest of the body doesn't quite match. Have you tried fiddling with "replace colour"? :)

kazzy October 4 2006, 20:11:32 UTC

No, I've never tried 'replace colour', I was just using the heal brush to see if I could soften the tone of Billie's neck and chest. Nor did I try the blur brush. They're both things I'll have to experiment with in future! So thank you for the tips! :)

Thanks for taking the time to comment (and for the tips), I really appreciate it.
