Description sorry I pretended this was an actual photo but I couldn't resist it. It's not like any of you would even think it unless I had categorized it as a photo.

so this is a photomanip. i DID post it only after hesitation, because it's not much, really. BUT, this is the backbone to the tutorial/making-of thingy attached. that's why i also "didn't want to talk about it right now", not before I post this:

Process of ectoplasm

click it.

( stock: girl | background )

this manip will go to scraps eventually, I guess.

Wow Bassem, Wonderful job! Very smooth the way you blended the young lady into the image. I read the tutorial and also a fine job on that too.
I didn't know you did manips, But I see in a comment above you plan on more. That is good news because I love what you have done with this one!

Your deviation reminded me of this story!

I remember when I was in high school, there was this one science classroom that was supposedly "haunted," like, faucets would turn on by themselves, lights would go on in the middle of the night when no one was there, etc. Anyway, I'm kinda in between on stuff like that; I'm definitely not a hardcore skeptic, but I don't 100% believe everything either... well, one day, while I was in my newswriting class (which was pretty laid back, since it was such a small class/the teacher was really cool) so we were talking about various stuff, when my teacher was like "Oh!! I have to show you this SUPER SCARY picture!!!" and then she proceeded to tell me how the science teacher who taught in the supposed "haunted" classroom was in there one day BY HERSELF, when all of a sudden, the xerox copy machine went off (as in, made a copy) BY ITSELF, and it was OFF prior to that. Well, when she went to look at the copy it had made, there was an EVIL FACE printed on the paper and she showed me THE copy that came out of that machine, and HOLY CRAP, like I said, I'm definitely not 100% into this sorta stuff, but omggg, the face was VERY VERY clear. and I know that there's a whole "psychology" about how humans are inclined to see faces in anything they look at, but no, this was not like a few little random/faint lines or something, these were DEFINED varying shades of grey that formed this face. And it was DEFINITELY an EVIL and ANGRY looking face (agghh, freaking myself out thinking about it haha), it kinda looked like a skull the way it was defined. Basically, it kind reminded me of some t-shirt designs that teen boys wear to look "tough" haha cuz the skull face was REALLY angry looking and pretty damn detailed for being created out of NOTHING (that was the thing, the varying shades and shapes of grey made it REALLY creepy to deny it was just some weird fluke/coincidence... cuz i mean, if you were to make a copy with nothing in the copy machine, it should just be a blank/white piece of paper right? not a GREY piece of paper with a freakin' ANGRY SKULL ON IT

so anyhooo, everyone who saw it was so creeped out by it that it eventually ended up getting thrown away, cuz no one wanted to keep such a scary/potential "evil" item although, I kinda regret it, cuz it WAS really interested/cool, despite being SUPER EFFING SCARY haha oh well.

so yes, thank you for reminding me of that story (really!)

and in closing: very cool and well done [but freaky! ] manip, sir

could it have been a trick that the teachers played on your guys?

anyway, I wish you kept a copy or something, I wanted to see it even tho that stuff freaks me out too.

you know that famous Ebay Haunted Painting? "Hands Resist Him" it's called. It scares the shit outta me. I can't stand to look at it for one second. People have been known to cry or pass out when staring at it.
