I’ve been tinkering around with photoshop and I’ve edited a picture which I found on Google Images of Barack Obama, a US candidate for the United Sates of America. (Whom I’m a huge fan of) The results in UK time will be announced today, at 11pm on Sky News and of course around the world. Moving on, here is the image I edited:

I edited the second image, with the more ‘bright’ background.

That’s the image I found on Google Images and I must say, it was a nice image to edit, for the 5 minutes I had. Here are the results:

Please click both images, to see the change! 🙂

As you can see, there are small changes, I made to the American flag and Barack Obama himself. I’m only doing this, as my sister is in University and she sometimes asks me to ‘re-do’ some of her images that she creates in her media class; to make it look better in terms of quality e.g. Get rid of that ‘shine’ mark, or that red eyed effect.

I also done a John McCain ‘photoshoped’ picture. I can’t say I’m the best, but I think, I done a pretty neat job as the original image looked boring and ‘samey’. I changed the back ground, like with the Obama image with the ‘Filter tool’, but layering John McCain onto a separate layer via the ‘Quick Selection Tool’, just as I did with Obama’s picture edit.

I edited the second image, with the squared background!

I’m hoping for Barack Obama to win. I like his foreign policy and that he wants to give every American a ‘free’ health care. I mean lets face it, America, one of the worlds richest countries and that has ‘some’ if not a lot of influence on the world, has people dying because they are not ‘able’ (In financial terms) to get medical care. – Obama will change that, and that’s what I like; humans being humanitarian. As for foreign policy, Obama is quite diplomatic, and that’s what the world needs under the worlds most powerful and budgeted army!

While I was in Romford, I took a couple pictures of our buses that we have here in the UK, and seeing as I had them on my computer, I thought I’d edit them and this is the result:

This is just a simple “Filter” and ‘Cut out’ effect, and cropping to make the image smaller and more centralised on the bus. I actually like the effect that it gives off and it’s one of those things which you actually see inside the buses with the posters on the ceilings and sidewalls. To see the full visual effect, just click on the images, it’s at the very lowest quality, so it should be easy to load however visual quality, seemed to have stayed the same. 🙂

Rest in peace, Madelyn Dunham – She died at the age of 86 of cancer.

I added the ’round’ shade affect to the image. 🙂

It’s such a shame, she didn’t get to see Obama become president (I’m guessing he will be, as the results haven’t been released yet), however it’s just sad.

Ten days ago, Mr Obama broke away from the campaign trail to pay one last visit to Ms Dunham, whom he had mentioned at several key moments during his run for the White House.

BBC News – Barack Obama’s grandmother dies

That makes me smile, that he at least visited on the last days that she was alive.
