YSaC, Vol. 1732: Art for crap’s sake.

Need someone to change a wedding photo a little…


for 10 bucks I just need someone to do a semi-convincing photo shop of a wedding photo. It is a pic of them cutting a cake. I need it to look like they are cutting an animal for some sort of sacrifice or something and the faces need to be blurred out like it would be on the show COPS. It doesn’t need to be perfect. Just pretty good. I can easily do it in something like MSPAINT but…c’mon…it would be crap.

Payment is via paypal. I’ll shoot it over. You can invoice me if you are a professional

Full subscription to Photoshop CC 2014: $49/month
High end photo editing workstation: $10,000
4 years of art school: $150,000

Ability to help Sparky here mangle someone’s wedding photo? Priceless.

No, literally priceless. As in, probably no one will do this for any price.

Have fun with MS Paint there, Sparky.

Thanks for the post, Lisa!

    If Sparky ends up doing it himself in MS Paint, here’s a cake he can paste in.

    And it’s only one buck.

    In my decades of graphic experience, there is no job so great in expanse than one only needing “a little change.”

    See, spark will want the beach scene replaced with some sort of gritty netherwolrd (or, perhaps, a crime scene lifted from COPS). The lighting will have to be all reworked after that, too. Then, the entire palette, and the histograms for same.

    Oh, and can we “de-blur” the happy couple so that all who know them will recognize them. Or perhaps just half the couple, the hateful one who wed the creature from Perdition. Oh, and can we animate the scene some, and remove some of the clothing?

    I’m going to guess that Spark’ would balk at my $200 consultation fee to just look at the source for the trainwreck to be.

    So, good luck with that amateur you’re going to stiff for feees, there, Spark’–you are likely going to get exactly what you paid for.

    Wouldn’t it be easier to photoshop the wedding couples faces onto the scene Sparky wants? Then blur their faces?

    See that pic and say:
    Someone touched in the head married me.

    For $10, I don’t think you’re getting either one.

      I really think that you could get crap for $10 if you really tried.

    I need someone to Photoshop Johnny Depp into my wedding picture. 😉

    ps – if Mr. Depp finds this objectionable, I’ll settle for Idris Elba.

      Do you think Chris Hemsworth would be Thor if I photoshopped him into my wedding photos?

      May I summarize?…you would like an accomplished professional photographer to spend several hours changing a wedding photo “a little”…. offer him $10 for the job….and then expect him to invoice you for payment that you may or may not remit…?.nope, can’t see a downside…. and they get something to put in their professional portfolio….who could pass that up????
