That is basically nothing what you guys do.
When I photoshop, I go for realism, meaning taking an animal/person from a different seen and putting it in a new scene. So basically, this dog wasn't originally in this picture.
It's not just cutting and pasting, either.
It invloves getting the lighting according to where the sun in in the new background right, tones, levels, curves, adding shadows, reflections, ripples, disturbances in the water, smudging the animal's coat/person's hair to move in the direction the wind is blowing based on the plants in the background, and much more.
Anyways, enough about this, take a look:

very nice work here its really good looks real, mate can i see the original picture of the dog please

Sure, I'll go see if I can find it.
Considering my computer died and erased everything, doubts I'll be able to find the background again. x_x

Edit: No luck, I can't find it anywhere. Not on the sites I though I got it from. Considering my computer died 2, maybe 3 months ago, and I made it in the summer, I may not find it xD
But if I do, I'll let you know.
If you want to see some that I STILL have the stock for, let me know =]

wow that is some very niice work you got there. looks incredible... it would be cool to see the original pic of the dog though. anyways it doesnt even look as if you inserted the dog in from a diff pic. nice job

Jesus mate ..


Thats awesome..

You got some skill there .. looks like a real picture :O

maybe you should make a sig or wall of a football player that would be interesting to see as you seem to have some great skill with graphics

a few people in here do that stuff too mate
great work, looks very real! good reflection and lighting, the text fits very well too, keep it up

Great stuff mate luv it!!! It actually looks real!

Thanks guys!


I'm not sure about doing a signature or wallpaper, considering I am not sure on all that funky textures and burshes you guys do.
Maybe I could put Deco in a forest? xD
That would be odd.
