Today I was playing around with my camera phone and I actually managed to take a picture of myself that I really liked. This rarely ever happens! I was wondering if someone who is good with photoshop could perhaps make it look better?

I am intending to use it as a profile picture on MySpace/FaceParty and the like.

Thank you for any assistance,

Shaun.
 
Here's one for you...

These all look cool. my hair looks cool in the last one!

However I was looking for something more recognisable? Do you think the original picture needs enhanced to hide anything etc? Lol. I'm paranoid 😛.

Thank you for your efforts.
 
this is one is a little more reconizable with the hair... I dunno.


Do you like orange?

(I personally dont like this one as much 😱 )
 
It's nice and all that but the effect seems a bit 'heavy' i.e. too much. I was thinking of something more simplistic.
 
A few here...

I don't think you should change anything in the photo really, apart from stylising it a bit if you want to. You look fit! Get yer photo out there. 🙂
 
AUUGHH PHOTOSHOP FILTERS MAKE GRAPHIC ARTISTS WANT TO KILL THEMSELVES AND EVERYONE AROUND THEM.

Just leave it alone. It's a MySpace picture. You don't need to change it to show the world that you're another teenager who can select a few menu options and drag a few sliders in Photoshop.

If you really want to edit it, edit the color balance, curves, and brightness/contrast, to give the lighting and colours a different feel. Don't go around messing about with crosshatch filters and the like. 🙄
 
Lol, my friend says that one looks like porcelin lol. Is there anything a little bit inbetween so the effect you have created is not so... perfect?
 
this is the problem with myspace. everyone posts up these fabulous photoshopped pics of themselves. then when you see them in real life... its like.. 😱
 
Here I thought this was thread was going to be about taking a silly picture and making it goofier! Glad I read before I Pshop'd that😱
