I have seen this thread get huge in the last year since I have joined this site. Try a few different things to the photos your tossing on these guys.

Add some noise to the fake muscle your putting in...that adds a great deal of realism into this since every photo naturally has some grain in it.

Also try changing the layer type to overlay or soft light, bump up the contrast and desaturate that works pretty well.

I guess last try erasing at a lower opactiy, like 5-10% so the fade to the actual persons skin is softer and less noticable.

Other then that by doing this whether your trying to improve or not I have notice some of these are much better then when you first started doing this

don't get shirty. that is not his chest, you cut and pasted someone else's chest over his. what is the point? why not take his actual chest and make it look exactly how it would with 5/6 pounds more of muscle?

I explained why like twenty times before at least once on the previous page. so why don't you read... instead of coming here after fifty pages thinking ur saying something new or clever....starting at about page 2 it was all explained...

i guess there's no point that like over 1000 people have asked for it to be done between the thread and my PMs, yea it must really be pointless and suck.

screw it.

[22stone natty]

i was only offering advice. you've clearly got the blending and c&p 'ing sorted now - some are very good. why don't you want to take it to the next level bro?

I'm sure it was an accident... just be paitient. He has a lot of requests, both in his PM inbox and on the thread. Also, I don't know off the top of my head as I didn't get that good a look at the pic, but sometimes he does intentionally "skip" pix because the poster did not follow the guidleines that he has placed at the beginning of the thread.

It might help if you tell him what you would like to see, if you haven't already (as far as changes to the pic)

EDIT: I think the pic is too dark... that could be why he "skipped" you.

Again, reminder to all: mind the lighting in the pic.

WOW that photoshop is real good. actually looks more personal than the copy body parts and put them on a different body

The best and easiest ones to do meet the following:
1) pic should clear and of a reasonable size...cell phone shots really aren't that great to work with
2) a good, clean pose is easiest..the "above the head looking down at an angle toward my abs" shots are really time consuming and difficult. A front double-bi is best
3) even lighting (no deep, deep shadows) will allow me to do it more quickly, getting more done
4) i've done some "fat removal" but honestly, I'm not that great with it. It's much easier to photoshop ON muscle rather than take off fat!

Just to reiterate what photoshopmuscle has said before.. in case anyone has overlooked the past I-don't-know-how-many-times he's said it...

* NO MIRROR SHOTS
* standard poses .. no over-the-head shots
* NO CELL PHONE PIX
* pix need to be at least 200 px. by 200 px ... anything smaller than that is too small
* mind the lighting... as stated in the quote. If the lighting sucks, don't both posting it because he won't do it..
* mind the quality of the pic...... if you give him a crappy pic, and he does work on it, expect a fairly crappy photoshop.
* do not ask for him to make you less fat (remove fat from the pix) he just won't do it
* if you have a few extra pounds, go ahead and submit your pix, but be forewarned, it's harder to make it look good if you're a little on the chubbier side.
* be patient in waiting for your pix to be done.
* PSM has the right to refuse to do any pic he so chooses, so,just post once, if he does it, great, if not... DO NOT BUMP YOUR PIC OR ASK WHAT IS TAKING SO LONG, PLEASE

I think those are the (updated) basics....
