Help! I need somebody...

[MissH]

Hi all,

So as most of you know, Bubba and I have recently bought a house and are in the process of doing the mountain of things that need doing to it!

I've got a picture that I'd really like to use to put on canvas in one of the rooms- it's the spot on the beach in the South of France where Bubba proposed *cue romantic music*.

Anyway, I wondered if anyone on here is good with the ole photoshop or something that wouldn't mind having a look at tidying it up a bit for me and making the colours a bit brighter and nicer- sea a bit bluer, beach a bit more sandy yellow and all that jazz. Danny is a total techno-phobe and with me about to pop a baby out any day, I don't have the mental capacity or patience to be messing about with photo editing stuff!

We would be extremely grateful!

*I had to shrink the image to put it on here, but have it in a higher quality if someone wants me to send it to them!!!*

Unfortunately I'm not a good photo editor but I'm sure someone here is. Can I just say, I think its really romantic that he proposed on the beach!

Something doesn't look right...

I was just being silly. :shobon:

Enjoy!

[Kalevala]

I like your first attempt more.

[Shorty]

I dunno, I think the second one looks great.

[Kalevala]

It makes me cry tears of joy.

The colour of the water here looks amazing. Good touch up :)

I am not currently at my house as we're staying with Sophie's Mum after her operation. I can confirm that this very picture is above our marital bed in the main bedroom.

I am now horrified at the thought that Steve has been watching me for the last three months...

[Ayen]

Watching in envy, my friend.

Watching in envy.

ahahahahahahaha This is my favourite thing that has ever happened

I'll load it up in lightroom and see what I can do. A higher res version would be great, though.

Putting it on a canvas and still getting a reasonably sharp image is going to require a resolution many times bigger than this, just so you know.

edit: take one (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1132077/images/image-2.jpg). I don't know exactly how juiced up you want your colors.

This is just a dn amazing turn of events.

[blackmage_nuke]

I was all ready to fire up the gimp when I saw this was 3 months old

[Psychotic]

I have numerous photos of Steve on my bedroom wall, I don't really see what is so strange about it.

[Iceglow]

This brings a whole new meaning to haunting the shit out of you Bub. I'm crying in my office laughing at this!

[Bubba]

Mirage that is awesome, thanks so much! I'll let MissH know. I'll have to check how much the canvass was to see if we can redo it.

MissH has confirmed that it is the original print that is above our bed so there is no trace of young Steve. Sorry everyone.

[Psychotic]

That's a pity. If it had been I would've paid for a new canvas for you and asked for the Steve one to be shipped to me. Alas, so near and yet so far.

[Iceglow]

Psy make that image my avatar, can't do from my phone! 😂😂😂

Lightroom basically does the job for me, though. It's as simple as pulling on a slider labeled "vibrance". Well, and a few other slides too but it's way easier to do this sort of stuff in lightroom than in photoshop.

[Aerith's Knight]

This is just wrong on so many layers.

[MissH]

Aww thanks so much, Mirage. So lovely x x
