Replacing People in Photos

My wife and I, our Simpsons avatarand a polaroid composite

The original photo had to have the heads covered by the avatar heads, the shirt color modified, the necklace, hair and chest colored and drawn, the arm replaced, the marquee adjusted and the polaroid mask

Side by Side Comparison

The original seaplane photo was quite damaged, particularly the top left sky and the rear portion of the aircraft. There was also a lot of scratches and marks on the photograph. The original sky was a little bland so I replaced it with moving, wispy clouds. I also sharpened the photo while adding increased contrast.

Side by Side Comparison

The original seaside photo was quite damaged by water. It was a scanned image, Particularly the top left sky and the lower portion of the image. There was also a lot of scratches and marks on the photograph. The lines had to removed and the seashore fixed. The photo also had some bright areas from the scanning that had to be darkened. I also sharpened the photo while adding increased contrast.

Side by Side Comparison

The aircraft lithograph was taken with an Iphone through glass. The angle created some reflections of a nearby wall and door. I needed to correct the reflection and fix the propeller and left wing. The right wing was extended and the clouds created behind it. Slight color correction to the whole photo to brighten it up.
