Is this image manipulation possible!

Hello,
Basically my band has an image which we would like to manipulate (the image is here)

I was wondering if it would be possible to extend the smoke into lettering without it looking too fake!

Cheers

haha as long as you have a skilled smoker and your band name consists of only 'O's I don't see why not

In all reality: yes, it shouldn't be too hard for a hardcore photoshop artist to make, but in my opinion, it's a great shot but not a great quality shot you're dealing with.

I understand your band might not have the budget of U2 when it comes to photoshoots, but even my sister with an old 800$ camera can take shots that blow the quality of this one out of the water.

Before you invest any manpower or time into this this I would really hope you would take my (friendly) suggestion and find somebody who's sister or cousin or best friend does a little bit of photography on the side and just hang out with you and your band for an afternoon (and feed them pizza and whatever beverage is approriate for the consumption of pizza where you are) and get some great 'papparazi' styled shots of the band just sitting around, or walking down the street, leaning against the wall smoking like this.

This whole thing would look so much better if the source image was better, but it's certainly a sweet idea!

I wish you and your band all the best, and when you get the photos done make sure to post them here to show off! What style music does the band play?

 

Thank you for your reply!

we do have a photo shoot booked in the not so distance future for those kind of shots, and we will be force feeding them subway! ha

The image i have posted was taken on my 2mp camera phone, though tit was a good picture except for the quality of course.

I'll take up your suggestion and wait till we have our friend with a £900 camera to take pictures, and i will post them don't worry!!

Oh, and me play indie/rock with a bit of eltronica thrown in there

Cheers
Max
