Need some help in photo enhancing/altering

[ajoesmith]

Im crap at enhancing/altering photos and i dont have any photo software. The only thing i have is paint.

If someone here is a dab hand could they help me.

Id like to know what this watch would be like like if the Gold bezel and Gold links were SS. And also what would it look like PVDed?

Can it be changed using photo software?

Here are the pics

Hi Joe, very quick and dirty... hope this helps.

How did you guys do this?

[chubbchubb]

All you need is a software with layers (ie Photoshop). take one copy of the picture, convert to black & white (gold is gone), import as a layer to the original color picture. Place on top of the color layer. Delete the black and white part of the dial to let the color one come through. Voila....

Ah ok, i understand but i dont have photoshop.

Anyway cheers, it looks great.

Can you do a PVD one????

Download PicasaII from google....It's user friendly, and FREE!!....doesn't have layering features, but still a very useful application...

Joe, Get yourself a copy of Photoshop CS. You can get 'replicas' from ebay or ioffer (especially ioffer) for Mac & PC very cheaply - just don't register it or expect help from Adobe's technical helpline. I paid

If someone could do a tutorial on layers etc. for photoshop, in an easy to understand format,

in the photography section.

Im sure it would go down exeedingly well with the members, and would benefit everyone,

with clearer pics.

The existing information by some of our other members is easy to understand

and brilliant in content.
