Just For Thanksgiving: "Basting Bad"

[Walter82]

Had an idea for a Thanksgiving Photoshop project.

Started with this:



Ended with this:



I'm an amateur with Photoshop (in fact, I use Elements), but I liked the way this turned out, so I thought I'd share.

Thanks for providing a forum - literally! - for doing so!

Hi Walter and welcome!

Love this manip! The only thing that would have made it even funnier would have been replacing the gun with a turkey baster!

Start trying out the Clone Stamp Tool, it will help you out with future manips of this type.

I think I already learned a new word - "manip"!

Like it.

This is a very trenchant observation, as I actually considered replacing the gun with a turkey baster. The reason I didn't was 3-fold:

1. I thought it might be one replacement too many, i.e., too far away from the original image such that the connection to the original source material might be lost.

2. I thought the gun seemed a bit more dangerous, in keeping with the "bad" in the title.

3. I didn't trust my skills to pull it off!

Still, it was a coin flip, and you might be right. Oh, well...

...there's always next Thanksgiving!
