Okay so here's how I edited a lot of my images:
Duplicate the layers, then invert and convert the top layer to black&white
Change the top layers blending mode to Overlay
Change the opacity (of the top layer) to well whatever looks good to you, and also
do a Gaussian blur to the top layer, whatever looks good to you - experiment lameo!
Merge the two layers and do an Unsharp mask to touch it up.
so here's a compassion:
Overlay - Gausian blur - Unsharp Mask
See the difference?
And finally, this is optional cause sometimes its looks good.
The top image is before and the bottom image is after I bumped up the contrast...
judge for yourself.
I can't believe somebody cosplayed as Homer Simpson. I guess the standard is whatever Japan considers anime, which is everything animated television show, supposedly. Those were some good pics.
