David (lestweforget) suggested that I could try to use photoshop to put photos of my model on real photo background.

Here are two example results:



I'm sure someone could do it better, I'm not that good in using photoshop.

Here are photos of my model, for those who have not seen the thread in Campaign Central Command: https://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/45318&page=1

Well well, thats excellent!
the first one i must say looks more real, with the second one, the M113 still looks real, but looks as though it has been photoshopped on, as in u can tell it is another photo, but, i think if you blurred it up a bit more and maybe made the M113 pic look darker, then itd be spot on.
Thanks for that though mate, very very cool!
cheers

I agree with David on this completely Pawel, that first one looks as real as can be, but that second one, well lets just forget about that one, and start over. The only thing missing on the second one, is tape.

Pawel,
Yup, the first one does look more realistic, but! There is always a but!!!!
A couple of things for that picture, and you might know this already. It woudnt be a realistic picture. Now I might be wrong on this, but its based on my experience when we loaded and unloaded the ships.
1. tracks and vehicles won't have there weapons mounted, ie the .50 Cal.
2. You painted your vehicle to simulate the dust of Iraq, but all vehicles going on or coming off the ships where to be washed or washed when they go on.
Other than that, good job on the pictures and DAMN GOOD JOB ON THE TRACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, well... Thanks for comments. It looks like I should stick to building models and not play with photoshop... :-)

Pawel

The first one had me fooled until I realized there was no driver in the hatch! good job!!

I think you need to a bit more work on the M1A1 model in the second photo. (lol)

Don't stop using Photoshop i have been using photoshop for over 8 years you did nice job on those pictures, the first one is better, keep using it you will get better.

Yeah, You're right - it looks very artificial next to my M113 :-) :-) :-)

Pawel

I think the problem with the second photo is that the photo of the M113 is in a much higher resoultion then the background its on.

That is what is needed. There is nothing wrong with the M113 in the second picture. It is everything else what is wrong. Lighten up the M1A1 and the background.

As for the first picture, I did not even notice the weapons imperfection. I thought I was looking at a picture from the Navy's photofiles. Chalk it up to a lapse in protocol (God forbid)
