Sperm oil....??

[lhosphotography]

Hello All,

Just a bit of fun this one, Was an old label I found. I thought it was quite funny (prehaps a bit childish ?)

I shot this with settings:
F/5
1/100 sec
ISO 100
35 mm focal length, Also through a ring light veiwer.

I thought it could make a good T-Shirt?

Here I have choped it about a bit for a T-Shirt design.

Can anybody tell mke how to blend the background grey so it is all the same colour/tone..?
Im using Cs4.:fingerscr

I'm not sure about CS4(I use Gimp), but I usually do a fill and mess around with the threshold and use the eye dropper tool to fill with colour from the background. Since the blue and grey are quite different, this method should work a treat. You may need to be careful that you don't get it too perfect and loose the slight texture. I think if you pick the right tone you will not have to worry about filling inside closed areas like "D" and "O" as the colour will be similar enough.

If I was on my notebook with Gimp, I'd have a go at it for you.

I had a little play and in Image adjustment first desaturate then levels move right pointer to left and centre to right now whole image black and white. Then add layer and fill with background colour you want then alter the opacity to allow it to show through.

Merged layers the again went to levels

I am sure not right way but it worked.
