Who's good with Photoshop?
If there is some kind soul out there who's good at Photoshop, could you fix this picture for me? I want a good cover photo for my proposal, but my digital camera is really crappy and I didn't have time to light it because my bf (who has to be in the pic) has been working miserably long hours and he needed to go to bed.
I like everything about the photo except the fact that you can barely see him. I'd like it to look more professional, with him easier to see.
Thanks in advance!

*raises hand* i'm pretty damn good with photoshop... i'll play around with it and see if i can fix it up for ya
Re: Who's good with Photoshop?
hmm... im finding it hard to lighten without losing the pic quality.. :(
Re: Who's good with Photoshop?
Thanks, Darcy! I'm trying to convince people to give me $7500 to make a good-looking movie; I don't want to put a ghetto-ass digi-snap on the cover of the proposal! If only I had an expensive camera package and a professional cinematographer to take this pic like I will for the movie... ::)
Re: Who's good with Photoshop?
I enlarged the picture, lightened, contrasted, and dodged him a bit to lighten him up, but the picture's too small (SW resizes pictures that you post) to get good resolution out of it. If you can PM me a link or e-mail the fuller-size pic, I think there's hope, Yek. I'm taking the dodge tool, clicking on Shadows, with a very small exposure, like 2-3%, and brushing carefully.
Alternately, if you need a picture of a person sitting in front of a store window at night, I can see what I can do just to take that kind of shot.
Re: Who's good with Photoshop?
I can email it to you, Jay. Could you PM me your email address?
I appreciate the help and the offer... unfortunately, it has to be this guy and it has to be Hollywood Blvd. He's the star of my short film, which takes place in Hollywood at Christmas. And the Christmas stripper mannequins help it enormously, in my opinion. :D
I hate my shitty camera. Grrr. I used to be a really good photographer.

Ooh, Sirona, I love that middle eye pic!
Thanks! I'll email you!
Re: Who's good with Photoshop?
Ok, this was as good as I could get it (haven't completely given up yet though).
If you happen to have a really large high resolution copy of it I might be able to do more with it.

Re: Who's good with Photoshop?
ps - I need to pull some of the "green" out of it still... house fulla hungy teens at the moment, get to it asap!
Re: Who's good with Photoshop?
Thanks again, Sirona! I was actually just about to email you and thank you for the one you emailed me earlier with the really stylized color... I shrank it down to put it in the document, and I really like that one. I'm going to use it. You're a lifesaver!
And thanks again to Darcy and Jay for taking a stab at it too!
Re: Who's good with Photoshop?
Groovey. :) Glad you got something you could use!
Re: Who's good with Photoshop?
Yek, I got your mail, but Sirona is doing every bit as good as I could, and I'm swamped this afternoon. Wanna just stick with her work?
Re: Who's good with Photoshop?
I just got your email too, and yes, I'm sticking with the one Sirona emailed me this morning. I'm in the middle of sending out all these proposals now (ugh). Thanks again!
Re: Who's good with Photoshop?
This was the best I could come up with. The image is a bit too small, and your pal blends in with his surroundings too well.
....frankly....I think it looks a little silly, now.
Re: Who's good with Photoshop?
