    Another handy dandy tip that I don't always follow....wait a day or two before posting your fake. It's amazing how many glaring errors will jump out at you after 12 hours of resting your eyes.

    duffbeer asked a question in the 'Hilary Duff' fake Thread

    quote:
    'Anyone have a good tutorial on changing / adding lipstick to an image?'


    A technique I find very handy for colouring certain parts of a pic is:

    Create a New Layer (above the one you want to colour) and set the Mode to 'Colour'
    (any colouring you do on this layer allows the underlying detail to show-thru - if its too intense turn the Opacity down)

    example

    Original top left


    This is an Excellent (very simple) trick if you want to Colour a Black &amp White image





    making selections around the individual areas you want to colour will give you very neat edges
    (also don't forget to save each selection as you make them - one for Hair, one for Body, one for Eyes and so on - you never know when you will need it again)

    I have another Tip I use quite a bit, this recent pic of 'Nicola Roberts' is perfect to demonstrate


    + =


    In the original body-shot picture the Model is looking slightly downwards and Nicola is looking pretty much straight on;
    when you 'copy &amp paste' the Head-shot onto the body-shot you end-up with the Cone-Shaped Head syndrome

    yuk

    This is my quick fix:

    'copy &amp paste' the hair in the body-shot ... paste into a New Layer



    then goto - Edit > Transform > Warp
    you can Grab anywhere inside the selected area and pull it to shape - very quick, very easy

    yum


    A word of Warning, its very easy to get carried away with this feature and your picture will descend into a freakish mess, remember 'less is more'
    Also pay close attention to the edges of the selected area (they can easily be pulled out of alignment)

    you also can use the 'Filter > Liquify' Tool to get similar results (Liquify is a lot more powerful but a bit more involving)


    I use this trick on most of my pics, you can even use it to reshape the face of the body-shot image so it matches the contours of the celebrity's face, makes blending the two together much easier

    I dont think it helps if derogatory remarks are made about the not so skilled.....good luck to them.....its only through perseverance that we advance

I especially urge it in cases where a faker is creating a nipple-slip or an upskirt or any other candid-type fake.
    That makes sense. From here on out I'll be sure to tag mine as fake...even though they are blatantly fake.

    It also promotes, to my mind, a sense of community amoungst fakirs as well as those who enjoy fakes. An anonymous fake is all and well, but it's without context...but to know who did it, and in cases of collectors like myself, in what stage of their "career" they did it in, adds immeasurably to what the fakes means. Whatever means means.

    Personally speaking I prefer it the word fake is NOT on the fake.The logo is suffice enough............however in the case of a real subtle one or nip slip fakes I can understand......

    I have seen so many good fakes that have huge logos and the word fake plastered across them and it takes from the work.

    Hopefully I won't sound completely ignorant but what's the best software to use? I've been looking at the latest Paint Shop Pro.

    I'd recommend checking out 'youtube.com' for a few video tutorials (It's pretty amazing what some people can do with PhotoShop )

    Photoshop for Dummies is a great place to start if you have no idea at all how to start
