Cool Photoshop tutorial: Make pictures look like models

My friend Steve sent me this great little tutorial that lets you manipulate landscape photos to look like pictures of models: http://recedinghairline.co.uk/tutorials/fakemodel/. Here’s a sample I did of a picture of the Seattle skyline. Not a great example because it already looked a little like a model.

Look up the words terror, terrorist, terrorists, September the 11th, and other fun ones!

Reminds me of this Weekly Radio Address: http://weeklyradioaddress.com/WRA20060911.htm
