i rarely do blends but i recently watched superman returns and decided to make one. i'm not sure if i'm going to enter it. i would like some feedback on what you think and what i can do to improve it.

my bf said it looked like random shiiet thrown together. needless to say, we aren't on speaking terms right now. laugh.gif kidding.



any suggestions?

It's a bit too dark. Try messing around with the levels (image-->adjust-->levels)

this gives me an idea! ok ok, I'm excited hahaha
-flatten the image
-duplicate it
-gaussian blur the top layer at...3.5
-set that layer to either overlay, softlight or screen. and lower the opacity to whatever looks good
-flatten the image again
-sharpen it (fliter>sharpen>sharpen) either once or twice. Its up to you
-make a new layer
-then with a simple circular freather brush(the type that come customly with photoshop) at like... size 100px or so, SCRIBBLE over any pictures that look a lil dull. (Probably just the 2 at the top)
-then set that layer to overlay
and toda! your image will have a lot of contrast, which always looks good AND you brighten up the dark images! =)
