kRioni Neurotic (0) Inmate Newly admitted From: Insane since: Nov 2003	posted 11-05-2003 09:24 Hey I have this picture of a friend in a parking lot, during the day. Hes wearing a white shirt and so far I have been unsucessful in making the picture look like it is night time. You see I'm taking this picture and combining it with one of a night time golf course, in anycase I can't make a realistic day-turned-night pic. Any ideas? Havent tried lighting effects too much because I'm unfamiliar with those but, everything else I've tried in Photoshop 6 has been fruitless. The picture turns dark or such, but not realistic night time, and plus the white shirt always remains super bright, high contrast looking. -kri Jesus Loves you!!

Adjust the curves... you want something that comes up, levels off, then goes up again to remove some contrast (it looks kind of like a graph of y=x³). Set it to multiply and play with the opacity. More levels + curves to your liking...

Ruku Paranoid (IV) Inmate From: Darkside of the Moon Insane since: Aug 2003	posted 11-07-2003 00:02 Well... can we see the pictures? It always helps. For example - if the course is a deep blue color but your friend is in a shaded grey or a detoned pale color, you'd need to adjust appropriately. Also, if there is a bright light behind him but the light for the course is from behind, you'll need to edit the color so it doesn't appear that there's a halo around him. And then again if the resolutions don't match then it'll be really ugly. --- "The Mystery of Life" Vol. 841, Ch. 26 "All life begins with Nu and ends with Nu. This is the truth!
