He looks very funny in that picture, I wonder where it's from. I thought he was great in the movie I hear he even won some grammy award.

No way, I’m telling I’ve seen him before. He probably did a Google search and fooled you guys.

He even has a imdb entry, take a look.

Look at this:




You had a mod fool you about his true identify.

Dude, he doesn't even look like Adrien Brody.

I'm pretty sure that's him. Pls stop insulting my freind guys.

Nobody's insulting your friend. Please stop acting like you're an authoratative source on things you don't know anything about. The shit you're getting is just your own being thrown back at you.

Jeez.

If I tell you a legitimate story and you act like a child and laugh it off then it pisses me off, you guys need to consider the other person. I’m quite a sensitive person and even if someone makes fun of me from the internet I take it very seriously and it makes me very angry and upset. I’ve got medication to deal with it but sometimes it’s not enough, I’m not shedding a tear over this but let’s just say it has made me very very upset and I’m about to vent off in a bad way. Understood?

Back on topic - I just found a much easier way to do this if your pic has decent contrast between the background and parts you want.

If you have Photoshop CS (might be in older versions too, don't know), you can use the Filter->Extract tool. It's freaking amazing.

Well Shit! I just played around with your image for 20 mins.

I can confirm the the there is a filter extract in photoshop 7.0 since that's what I just used.

If you want the psd R00k? It's here ---->R00k_and_gf.psd [1.22mb]



Thanks for the tip by the way. I'll have to try out that extract filter.

Do you guys really spend this much time doing head swaps and other PS jobs for the forums?

God, no. I use the point-to-point lasso. By the time things get shrunk down, it looks convincing enough. And you can tell when people half-ass it around here, too.

pressing alt or shift while using the lasso allows you to finetune the parts you selected by accident or forget to select

I always use a vector line and 'make selection'. Once you get used to it, it's very fast and if need be you can quick mask the small bits later via the layer.

I told my photoshop class teacher about the vector selection method the other day and the only comeback she could muster was "Illustrator handles paths better." Even the crappy path support in PS is easily editable if you make a mistake while making your selection... much easier than using the other selection tools and holding the +/- modifier keys down

thats true
photoshop classes should be taught by adobe aproved people

Or at least instructors who are open to ideas from their students...

Yep, a three week training course does not make one a PS master.

I had an instructor teach me that way. It works, but I prefer quick masks.

it's how the pros would do a large format ad etc

Hmm, I never use quick masks. I prefer to get dirty with the polygon selection tool at close zoom. I sometimes use Bezier curves too, for the more rounded, precise selections.

But whatever works for you I spose.
