Photoshop??? - Page 2

Who cares?? You lot will debate anything, lol. Get a life for Gods sake!!!  PRICELESS!!!

YR, sorry to hear that you have dial up.. Do you have an Iphone? Maybe you can check it out from there, if you have it.

bazza, Get a life you say? Maybe for some people dogs is is apart of their lives :) That's why we are on such sites such as this one.

Yes, I agree dogs are some peoples lives, but what has that got to do with whither someones photo is " fixed"? This is a total waste of band width, go spend some time with the dogs that are your life instead of spouting nonsense here. Oh! sorry I forgot you are back, after a very long break, to advise and guide all the " wayward " breeders and owners.........LMAO.....PRICELESS. By the way no need to press the abusive button we have mods to help us now.......try PMing one!!!!

its horrific

Lets make sure that this thread remains on topic.

Thanks

The size of the head is due to angle to the dog at which the photo was taken, no switcheroo there. Whether it was intentional or deliberate, who knows.  If you stand the camera slightly higher than the dog and angle yourself toward the head, the head will appear larger. This is the same of anything you photograph, a browsing of teenage girl's headshots on facebook will make this obvious.  Angle distortions is something any first year photography major will learn. (Which I was, and I did)

The background has been switched, the owner of the photo must not have liked the original background.

Shopping out people, leashed, backgrounds, etc is a common but dangerous practice is, as anyone viewing the photo will assume that the dog has been tampered with as well. I wish people wouldn't do it.

Grew up taking Graphic Design classes, the dog is on the grass there, the grass is good, but the sky behind is fake, as you can see a grey halo around it... Looks like a Magic Wand tool and they just slapped it on a solid blue sky (the same consistent color, which could be a paint bucket tool instead, and if you ever take a pic of the sky, it will never be a consistent blue, but will fade to white or orange, or have couds, ect).  I hope they didn't pay someone to do this.  

I don't see the big deal.  Would you guys really buy a dog based on one bad photo anyway?  If not, then who cares if someone obviously erased the background, usually to get rid of someone who doesn't want to be in the picture, or a background that is distracting.  I actually don't mind how "fake" it looks, b/c you can tell *exactly* what is real and what has been removed (just the sky....grass and dog are original).

I clean up dog photos all the time without altering the structure of a dog (I'm not going around smoothing toplines,increasing the size of the head, and changing the color of the dogs)....my alterations are visible too, though many people don't really notice unless told what to look for...

removed an annoying leash, cleaned up the background (doubled one of the trees in place of a bright blue building)


removed some training gear scattered in the grass and part of a dog trailer in the background


removed a few fence posts and a distracting tree from the background, a piece of trash on the grass, and fixed the front leg away from the camera (it was up like a dog "pointing" in anticipation)


obviously combined two photos, but removed the body of the handler from the stacked one, not the greatest stack but we were just looking to get some snapshots of the dog at that age


Granted, none of the above dogs are for sale, owners just asked me to snap a shot of their dog and I like to fiddle on the computer when I'm bored.

The head is not the same on the original dog, look at the collar and how it falls around the next, obviously the leash has been chopped out but the fur around the collar does not match.

Doesnt seem they are hiding it. But is this not there dog? Have they stolen the picture. If they took the picture of the dog in question on placed on a desired background dont see a problem with it. If they stole the picture that would be an issue.
