Jeez, $210 for a pair of shoes that are going to get all mucked up and worn out in a season!? Almost as ridiculous as Jimmy Choo shoes (keep in mind I have very spoiled sisters).

Can we see a picture of your sisters licious? You were extra protective before, so I want to see what they look like...if they're worth pursuing...you know.

Here's a picture of Meredith (22) from her myspace.com account. I'll have to search for a picture of Meryl.

Myspace is an anagram for scpmeasy. Scpmeasy is not a word. Nobody cares about scpmeasy. Just like nobody cares about myspace.

Attention CAYR! We have made a new development in Photoshop abilities! The power to combine two photographs, OF THE SAME PEOPLE (theory ), into ONE!

Okay. I know the pic is tiny. I know it is of "low quality" This was on purpose. Josh's pic was tiny, blurry, dark, yellow, and of low quality, and kayla's was large, bright, and sharp. Hell of a time doing this. I used every tool in photoshop. This pushed me beyond what i've ever done before.



LOOK at how the tones match, how the lighting angle amtches, how the darkness matches, how the FOCUS matches, (remember, this was taken by the same camera, or so we want you to beleive) the flawless cutting... It's a work of art!

Time for a very abridged walkthrough of what I did...

Original Kayla pic


Original Josh pic


You always move higher quality to lower quality. Much easier to ruin something than to fix it. So, I rediced Kayla's pic to 1 inch in size, then back up to 3 inches. I then used a blur tool, and selective sharpen. I reduced the lighting in there, added a yellow tone, and here is the result.

Now it was time to cut Kayla out. So I did. Skillfully removing an object from a picture is hard work, easy as it may seem. I used a combination eraser/pen tool. This was HARD.

I then cleaned up the flowery pink stuff on her left arm and otehr bad cutting brands.

Next, I had to get Kayla into Josh's picture. Effing hard for one reason: Josh has all his buddies standing around him. So, I used the cloen stamp to selectively melt them away and painfully rebuild the background. Thank God it was a curtain and not a garden.

Then, I moved Kayla into position via pasting. I moved her around, but soon realized their positions were awkward: I could chop off Kayla's arma nd put it aound Josh, like I intended, but I was sure she was shorter than him. So I made her lower, and it became impossible. Plus I had to rebuild Josh's suit, and I was not up for that.

Here is Kayla in position:

Finally, I decided to just do heads. It cropped the image, moved Kayla into the right position, and fixed the whites on Kayla's shirt. (Josh's were darker, Kayla's were pure white. Then I morphed Kayla's shoulder into Josh's arm.

I then downsized, resized, blurred,a nd sharpened many many times until the two images matched in focus exactly.

Voila!
