Does anyone have a good quality shot of an empty hotel room that I could use to layer some people into? I don't mind doing some retouching and will probably blur it some too. Any help would be much appreciated. :wink:

how strict are your requirements? I have a few shots of some hotels rooms, but the B & B rooms I have are better I think...

If you get desperate I may be able to set up a shot for you as I work in a 4.5 star hotel.

Thanks Wacky and embi. I've just found something on the web that I think will work out. I do appreciate your help, though.

:( Sadly it's not anything that interesting or salacious. Just a wedding picture where I broke one of the cardinal rules and didn't pay close attention to the clutter in the background. I'm just trying to make a little better picture out of it if I can. Here's where I'm at ATM. Perhaps you have some suggestions on improvements??

Here is the original shot. I might be able to PP a new mouth on the kid. I'll give that a go next.

g'day steve,

why not clean up the clutter.

i've had a quick attempt, got rid of the towels and the hair dryer as well as half the mirror. if you got rid of the mirror completely and the power point it might turn out ok. could stick a painting on the wall even.

Well looking at this all I can say is that my photoshop skills need some serious attention.

Yeah, that does work better than I had imagined it would, Samester. Decent job. I've moved on to another pic now that's gonna be an 11x14" print.
