PP help

[Geoff M]

Hi Guys

Can any of you knowledgeable people help me out with some PP work on this pic of my dog? I have very little expertise (if you can call it expertise) in the use of PS and would appreciate any pointers you could give. I am using PSE 2.0 (I know, I know, I need to upgrade!)

What do I want to do? Remove both the tick collar and the blue ID tag.

Thanks.
Geoff

Hey Geoff - this is only very quick and very dirty - but you get the idea
I used both the clone and healing tools in PS2 - blow up the image to 300% and work on it from there - not too difficult really. I also used velvia to up the colour intensity, and used the burn tool to make the dogs nose nice and 'wet'

I agree with Bob though - play on a copy just for safety sake (sometimes, I've been known to save over the original -not good idea !!!)

Looking forward to seeing your effort

Remove those fangs while you are at it. That dog wants to kill a football team.

Do you have any pics of your dog with his eyes open? If you do, cut the eyes out and stick it in this pic... Sorry I'm thinking of the dog from The Mask movie

Goodness gracious me! I hope that collar sends incapacitating shocks through the dog as soon as it ventures more than 30cm from its owner...

You guessed it, I'm not the biggest dog fan in the world.

Cheers
Steffen.

Looks like he's yawning to me.

Probably bored because Geoff's trying to take so many photos of him.

Great work Rel, I must put in some PP practice, altough the better half thinks I spend far too much time in front of the PC already!

Gary, you are correct he was having a yawn and probabaly because he was bored. In fact probabaly was quite tired. Only one week before this shot was taken we was at deaths door with tick paralysis, hence the tick collar. Cost me $3,800 , but he is OK now
