That bear won't give me a drink, so I am fixin to wash my feet !!! (5 years and 2996 days ago)

Very cute author, You should enlarge the MAN image so his feet are in the water, it would help with the balance as well (IMHO of course)

The left leg looks terribly deformed, not to mention much longer than the right...You also need cleaner edges where you cut yourself out of the original picture, there's a white line on the head and the right leg...

Since you don't have yellow sneakers, maybe you can put a fishing pole in your hand and a bobber in the glass.

i am gonna start to use the online software pixlr. i was practicing with it and it takes a lot of patience. but its so much better then paint. love the smudge tool. i should get the hang of it in 10 years !!

Author can I give you a tip? I understand Photoshop is out of reach for a lot of people, but there is a free open source alternative for it: Gimp. http://www.gimp.org/ You can also find a lot of good tutorials around the net. IMHO its a better alternative over all the other free graphic software which is around.

Author, I'm not familiar with pixlr. I do know that many PXL members have used Gimp for top notch entries, so welcome to the site. Use what you can to produce awesome entries!

Pixlr is wonderful for online manipulations, and since you don't have to download it onto your PC, it doesn't take up disk space. The tools are powerful, with most of the more important ones similar to Photoshop - Levels, Curves, Hue & Sat, Brightness & Contrast, etc...It also has a good selection of filters (Gaussian and other Blurs, Sharpen, Diffuse, Noise, Emboss, etc.), as well as Burn and Dodge, Bloat and Shrink, and a decent color replace tool.

It's almost like having "Photoshop Lite" available for free online...I'll stack it up against GIMP any day, Robdvn...

Author, you'll find that you can use a lot of basic Photoshop tutorials with Pixlr, since the tools are similarly marked. Selections are the most important thing you can master, and the Lasso Tool and Magic Wand will end up being some of your best friends in Photo Manipulation... Have fun, glad I could help!

I shoulda not even entered this. I am definitly out of my league. Maybe i might get some pity votes, egh ??? thanks for all the info folks !! there is one thing i have real problems with. that is using the lasso tool to cut an image. i shake so bad that its hard for me to follow what i am trying to cut. any solutions for that ???

avatar Drivenslush

For a shaky hand (in my case very bad eyesight) you can expand an image to really see the edge of an item and cutting gets easier, slower, but easier.. I'm not familiar with the program you are using so I won't be help with tools... (your use of a white sheet in your own pictures is brilliant, it makes it much easier to cut an object out) if edges get bumpy you can go in with a blur brush and rub the edges to even them out..

Practice Practice Practice and experiment like crazy.. we all start somewhere and your abilities will improve in time.. this chop is a great start

avatar jbillitteri

I agree with all the above. Keep'em coming, and for the shakes, a couple shots of Jack Daniels might help. GL
