Does Anyone Know How To Do This??

[BRUCEZ]

Hello,
I am new to this website, and I have spent 2 full days on the internet trying to find out how to do this "type" of photoshopping. I am a full time photographer, and I am trying to capture a 50's type pin-up style look to my digital images, ie Canon 20D images. I have found some other people that do the same or similar type work, and I have no clue on how to even start this. I have supplied 2 links for photographers that do what I am trying to do. I don't want to copy them, I want to give my own flair to that style of imaging. I am just looking for the basic steps, so I can work from there. Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me with this.

Thanks,
Bruce

It is the pinup style stuff.

PS - I have photoshop 7.

LOL ... yup, you and 50,000 others want the magic button to do that.

Alas, there is no single tutorial or plug-in that makes this possible in a single click or two.

These photos have been heavily re-built. I'm not talking about "retouching" this is "rebuilding" the image.

The artist works with the features of the photo -- working over just about every aspect with various retouching and painting techniques.

It's REAL ART, and takes REAL skills, lots of time and a good helping of talent.

ALSO: you have to start with a superb model and a superb photo session and resulting photo. These shots just don't happen. This artist went to a great deal of trouble and time to get these images as perfect as they are.

BRAVO.

Good luck :eek:
