| "Raw Material"
Grafting comes with its own challenges...as Harry Mudd has pointed out
in the forum...you have to sweat body position, skin tone, light position
and shading. The first trick, if you're going to do this is to find a couple
of great/hi res photos of breasts and keep them. I have a little library
of "raw material" the mainstays of which are photos from an early Minka
SCORE pictorial and another couple from a SCORE feature on Pandora Peeks....
There are really only so many good "breast" poses...you need a good
straight-on shot, and this was what Lara called for.... other shots to gather are another straight-on shot with the model bending over showing lots of cleavage, a three quarters shot, which is what you see the most, and a profile. You might also be on the lookout for breasts hugged together and arms-over the
head....that more or less covers it.
As in the case of picts of women the larger the image the better....if
you're scanning them in..do it at 300 dpi and save it as a jpeg....if you
do this you will invariably end up reducing the breasts to fit your image.
PhotoShop is great for this and as we all know...reducing images adds to
their sharpness, expanding them causes a loss of clarity.
I put guides on my images so I can use the ellipse select tool
to grab the breasts and a little bit of the surrounding area....I always
take more than I need and cut it down to fit...itís much easier to pare
pixels away than to add them by cloning or copying...
Here's the Pandora file I used for the Lara pict.
