Contest 152: The haunted house
Sometimes a photograph just cries out for the old Photoshop treatment. This spooky mansion could look a lot spookier, don't you think? A few ghosts, a touch of lycanthropy, the odd spectre lurking behind those windows?

See what you can do. High res is here.

Is this Caplin Towers where Cap'n Caplin, the feared leader of the Clan Caplin lives?

Certainly not. Caplin Bunker is in a secret location beneath the Atlantic, chock full of beta versions of Photoshop CS7.

That reminds me of Dr Evil's lair, where he's tested Preparations A through G and is now testing Preparation H!

Re: Contest 152: The haunted house
A quick first entry this morning.. Its my birthday tomorrow and I am getting CS3 for my pressie... also a suspicious Amazon package arrived that could only be a certain book . So this is my pre CS3/HTCIPS CS3 version! If you guys dont mind, once Ive had a play, I will submit a second entry using my new toys... looking forward to using those skeletons included on the CD

*Reaches for HTCIPS 4th ed, closely followed by dictionary to find out what lycanthropy means... but its not in there!

Must get a new dictionary - thank god for the net.

Sorry no lycanthropy here, just a happy couple on their wedding day, many decades before the photo was taken.

Re: Contest 152: The haunted house
Not sure if Im having issues with my monitor, but had some feedback from helpful hubby who seems unable to view my entry, is it just him or is it so dark that all that can be seen is the moon and the outline of the house

Any helpful ideas if this is so, how I can correct it?
Cheers

Thanks Wayne, was worried for a while there. I can only assume that hubby's PC at work has a bad graphics card/naff monitor?? If anyone else does have probs viewing it can they let me know...
Cheers

A bit small I guess, so here's another try and a few more tweaks..added a little more fog and contrast.
