they couldve altered the green hair with one of them colour replacement tools in post-production ?

ie, edit the final bitmap it (the photofit gear) had 'rendered', on photoshop.

that should be piss for a graphic designer type. and it looks like thats what they did, they just picked a stupid colour as the replacement

Image

like that.

its a efitsoftwareinc "viral ad" imo. reverse psychology style. or a bug that only shows the Green in RGB on the hair.

probably the last one.

eh??

you started from scratch and produced that photofit? looks like you just fannied about with the hair on a pre-existing photofit to little effect.

here's the actual job...

I describe someone I saw fleetingly running down a street - and you (from scratch in photoshop) make a photofit

it was a man - about 5ft 11inches - darkish mousey hair, slightly balding, bulbous nose, thin lips, a scar above his left eye, brown eyes and a prominent forehead...

do do that in photoshop from scratch would be 1000 times harder than to do it with the proprietry photo-Identikit software that the police use.

give it a go if you actually think scrapping the identikit software in favour of photoshop is a good idea..

Sighs deeply.

The whole topic is about the hair and its lettuce like look. I changed the hair in less than ten minutes to something vaguely resembling blond (which I'm assuming the criminal had). I never said anything at all about producing a photo fit. I also forgot to add a pic of my tongue in its cheek in the OP. You really do make mountains from molehills don't you?

sighs (slightly less deeply)

it is a photofit.

you said the police should scrap their software and use photoshop.

they don't just use their software to do the hair.

hence - the quite straightforward observation that it would be 1000 times harder with just photoshop - as it would.

What happened to all the f*ckin lettuce jokes?

I shoehorned both Radichio and (and!) endive and, and, and other stuff.

I reckon this makes me king of this thread, so if anyone's going to be doing the sighing its going to be me....

I'm toying with Lord Emperor, its less of a change. Maybe throw an Exalted in there for balance.

Not really. I'm just trying to find out if Fernando Torres was actually born Scouse, then finding and shopping his Dad.

Thanks to the efforts of the T-W website, the police have now arrested the suspect (pictured below) and he is in custody awaiting someone to put up bail. Apart from the height the description helped enormously claimed the police.
