How about this

What version of Photoshop works best for you? How do you pirate Photoshop?
Photoshop's one of those things where you just kinda get used to whatever version you started with for the rest of your life. I personally use CS5, which came out in 2010, and I doubt I'll upgrade until whatever computer I'm using in the future just won't run it.

Photoshop's extremely popular, so it should be on any giant general purpose torrent site, and the copy I got was literally just an unzip-and-run thing, no keygens or registry hacks needed.

With Photoshop CC(and everything else CC that requires constant online activation) things got complicated. Or not, Photoshop was cracked before release and Adobe's license servers couldn't handle the pressure of their paying customers so for a couple of days the only ones that could use the latest Photoshop were pirates.
The application used to crack the CC suite stopped working in 2018 I think and so far there's been no new solution.

Photoshop CS2 is free now because Adobe dropped the license database into the toilet and couldn't figure out how to fix it, so they offer both a download and a license key for it on their website. It's a pre-Vista program so there might be some problems on modern windows.


I've used Photoshop since 4.0 and I took a hiatus from around CS1-CS2 until recently and holy shit everything is so much better. It's insane. Upgrading is absolutely worth it.

There are some interesting features in the newest versions that make things easier, but I have used CS5.1 for years and are too used to it.

My biggest hurdle is handling the damn light levels when combining images.

I'm not sure what you mean but Photoshop have had problems with RGB for a long time so try switching to the LAB color space before doing certain things.
 
Thanks, but I meant about nailing down the technique of using curves and levels to make a superimposed image match the luminosity so it doesn't look out of place.

Take bill for example, he looks out of place here with his own curves and levels not matching the background:

As I ulpoaded it I noticed the haloing around his parts... fuck it I'll fix it later.
 
I have one.

Keep the GIF animation, but add images that pop up as she's turning her head. Like she's visualizing things that's making her go insane.

When she's looking right. Remove her background.

When she's looking down left.

As her eyes look up, left to right.
Have those images match the black/white aesthetic of the GIF. Maybe add a "glow" so they can look like hauntings. Maybe move a bit up and down so they look like ghosts. One pops up, then another, then another. Not all appear at once.

Thanks!

Something more like this? (it's just a 30 second levels edit with an auto-mask so don't expect greatness)

If that's in the direction of what you are looking for then I can give you some tips.

Is this what you had in mind?

Not particularly. The images would be small to see on her head. Like hallucinations. Not cover the whole screen.

Think like pop ups on a computer. They'd wouldn't block her face, just appear AROUND her face as she turns her head. Small enough to fit around.

Something like this? (quick and dirty, it's the first or second time I've ever used Photoshops HORRIBLE animation system, good lord it sucks ass)

Something like that. Maybe a bit smaller so you could see the images with the avatar size limitations. You forgot the hanger.

Who can figure out the hanger and actress reference?

And the hanger would be transparent.

Somebody teach me these tricks. You guys are talented.

Fuck, the hanger, you're right, it got lost in the nightmare that is asset management when I was wrestling with photoshop trying to do the simplest fucking thing animation wise and it dicked me over all the way. I'll give it another try later in a program more suitable for this, but that's in the realm of what you were thinking?
 
Don't stress yourself out. That was just one idea I had.

The GIF, that's Joan Crawford. From Stressed Fear.

Bette Davis was Joan Crawford's rival in the Golden Age.

She had alcohol problems. The hanger was from Momma Dearest. Basically, the line: "No more wire hangers!" from her adopted daughter.
 
You guys and your fancy paid-for software think you got it so rough. You live sheltered lives.

You're not a real man until you did photo edits in MS Paint. Making 20 copies of an image on a single screen as "layers" and manually making a photo "transparent" by zooming in and making every single desired pixel of an image pure white, and by checking the transparent selection in the drop down under select and finally zooming out till you can see both the "layers" you want to combine, selecting the "transparent" image and dragging it over it's "background," and god help you if the image underneath doesn't align the way you want it to or it's too big/small. Not to mention the further "editing" you must do if you missed a few pixels or too much of the overlaying image became "transparent."
