Title: At Waterfalls Yesterday
Post by: Zren Tobas on July 30, 2017, 04:35:40 PM
So me and my brother went to the Charleston Falls Reserve here in Ohio, cool place. So I thought I'd take some saber pictures =] No blade on me so, was still fun though. Don't mind the messy hair, was wind blown :P Only time I'm really able to post  for now so, moving plans got moved around again x.x

Those are really good photos Zren.  Beautiful calming place... and the shades of green on the rock is cool.  Even in regular clothes you have that Sith vibe.  Thanks for sharing.  Moving challenges again. Eek !  :(

I can't get Paint Shop Pro or I'd do some more cool edits so :P I know you can do these in MSPaint too but meh. Can always practice though :P

Hey Zren,

I've seen a few of your photos before.

This one is in a nice place. Just thought I'd throw you a bone for a paint tool.

There's a free one called GIMP.

Poor man's photoshop.

https://www.gimp.org/downloads/

U can use a polygon lasso tool to cut yourself out and put them in different backgrounds if you like now ;)

About the blade replacement, what I like to do is take a photo of my blade in a dark room. Then I cut out only the ignited part. After that, I pull it into the current photo and resize it and rotate it until it fits like yours.

It is actually more convenient to draw a rectangle and use outer glow to achieve the blade effect, but I think it's abit dishonest so I do not do that

Hi Zren,

I too have seen a few of your photos and think they look great, so please post more when you can. I would also like to second what java_saint recommended about using GIMP. It is a fantastic bit of software, I use it all the time and even edited Landen Se Sentien's avatar picture for him! You can do all the ILM lightsaber stuff and Green Screen tricks too.
The best part is it is totally free and works on minimum spec computers.

(p.s. has anyone ever told you in some pics you look a little bit like a young Alfred Molina?)

I'll see what I can do soon. Not really GIMP pro though so :P I did have someone do some edits for me though so I'll post those in a couple days

Just having the saber with you reminded me of this scene where Adam Sandler just goes "Yeah."
