Jim Breading's Photoshop projects:
The person marked "Dad" in this photograph is my Great-Grandfather,
George Beach. My only memories of him are when he was in his
nineties. This is also the only photograph my grandmother has of
him as a young man. He played on a traveling baseball team
(obviously) for a time and the restoration of this piece is only
10% completed at this point. Believe it or not, it looked a bit
worse when I started, and or some odd reason, I have to work left
to right. Antique photo restoration is not my main focus, so I will
probably finish this sometime in the next decade. I started this 3
years ago...
Jim Breading's 1-Minute Photoshop projects:
Simple. Knockout finch picture. Created Text with text effects. Text gradient is Photoshop "copper" preset. Warped text "bulge" and used Eraser tool to fade out finch picture. Copy/Pasted finch head behind the text layer over text layer for effect.
Sampled colors from areas and marquee+filled areas to replace old text. Used patch tool for smaller areas. Used Engravers MT, Edwardian Script, and Old English for new fonts.
