Nephew photo walpaper

[simonwalsham69]

Hey Guys, Made this wallpaper after a day at the park with my nephew. I made it a couple months back and I've only just noticed i didn't straighten the background photo doh!

It's a good one. If you still have the psd, straighthen it. If not , use a little PS magic to cut your nephew's photos, rotate/straighten the background and use the clone tool to cover up the missing parts and to rework the Text..

I think I might end up just remaking it I'm not happy with the text/font and some of the photo Borders are jagged.

I would fix the overall blue tint too.

The blue tint is actually a green/blue gradient that i applied over the finished image. I guess its not quite as good an effect as I though lol.

If you like it that's all that matters.
With a kid that cute I would keep it in very warm tones if I were tint it at all, just my personal opinion.

nice pics but I would just lose the tint all together and go for a more natural look.

just messing around, hope you don't mind, I would make his picture a bit different from the original background......View attachment 3744

not bad! just a few touch ups on the tint and text

 

[Hytham]

nice work..i like the font and how you arranged pics on background

I second that motion...too blue for my likings!

i agree ^^^ with the way the pics are arranged is good. but not a fan of the blue tint tho i might try a lil HDR on it maybe some saturation of the greens a lil more also and def put the park pic more straight

HDR comes in Cs5 in the image adjustments drop down its real cool for somethings but its also real easy to over do and mess up a good thing there are other ways to do hdr in older versions of photoshop i got Cs5 so thats the only way i used it. iwould post the link but i dont have enought posts

 

[simonwalsham69]

Hey scoop, what setting would you reccomend for the HDR? I'm playing about with it now and can't decide what looks best

 

[simonwalsham69]

I've adjusted the wallpaper using some of your suggestions looking alot better already I think.

 

[iDad]

much better!

Its just one of those things u gotta toy with cause different pictures have different light and shadows but the ne pic looks really good

 

[Carrie56]

It does look better...
