A little photo editing help please...

[Jason1]

Id like someone to try to fix up a photo. I dont really have any good photo editing software. The problem is way too much light in the background, too little light in the foreground, it kinda tricked the camera into making the foreground too dark. Problem is ive got a 5 megapixel camera now, and the photo is so big that no image hosting site will support it, and Id rather not have to make it smaller. I'll give 1000 dbloons to the person that can give me the best results. If your interested, reply with your email address and I'll send you the photo as soon as possible. Thanks.

I'll give you guys 24 hours to reply, anyone who wants to try after that is too late. Whichever one I deem the best looking will win the dbloons. Thanks, and god speed.

Crash, I'm wondering what you did to that picture, because his gown is supposed to be black....maybe we did the same thing...

EDIT: I just looked at mine, and his gown remained black throughout the adjustments. I'm just wondering what you did to yours.

[Crash]

I think what it is, is that you have a good monitor, and I have a dark monitor

[MuGen]

LOL.... I do have a good monitor... I'm @ work all day..

[GameMaster]

Jason, I have e-mailed you a perfected picture, please give me all your doubloons so that I can buy something I've really been wanting.

[Jason1]

Sorry GM, but Crash's and Sony's were obviously better, IMO. I do appreciate the effort though. After looking at both a decent amount, I think I have to give Sony's the edge, but not by much...the colors in it seem slightly more natural. I know my orange shirt wasnt quite as orange in real life as it came out in Crash's pic. Really good job on both though guys, I appreciate it. I will now be giving my dbloons to Sony, just as I promised.

EDIT: Is there even a way to transfer your dbloons to someone else? I couldve sworn I remember seeing that as an option, but Im not seeing it anymore.....

EDIT AGAIN: Nevermind, found it.

What are the ropes around your neck?

[MuGen]

those are like ceremonial ropes or somesing..

EDIT: Anywizzle.... thanks Jason, I took it into consideration when manipulating the lighting. The best way to adjust lighting in a photo is the levels.... you take light from the background and you don't just increase the brightness. That way you almost capture original coloring.

If you had like a certain GPA you got the ropes...whatever it was it wasnt that hard to get because a lot of people got them...
