i still changed the contrast, hues, and all that fun stuff in this, just didnt make the background like the second pic in the other post

well i don't really know what you were going for.
but if that's what it was then you did a good job.

im a photographer so i hate when people use photoshop to make fake pictures, when i first saw the subject of the post i came in here figuring thats what it would be, but it wasnt, and you did a good job for it being your first time.

oh, and i changed a lot of the saturation levels, the hue, and some of the other settings, basically brightened it and made it sharper :)
lol

What did you use to make the selection? It's really good, and I'm sure thats what made it take so long.

i actually got advice from Michael Graham (a user on here) on how to do it

if youre interesting in knowing ill write it out but i just hurt my arm so i dont feel like typing too much
(i was gonna try and learn how to do wall flips off the tree in my backyard, but i decided to do a wall run up it first to test the grip, luckily i did, because my shoes lost all traction [seeing as its raining] and i smashed my forearm/elbow/wrist into the tree after my foot slipped out from under me)



and @metalpanda

i realized that last night, i was barely talking to anyone cuz of it :/
i am wondering if i should limit myself before it comes habitual

go to

thats it, and you can change up the setting on it too
