How I became a graphic editor or photo editor for the day.

Me: *shows result of printed card*

Shawqi: "Hmm. I think we should brighten it up."

Me: *lasso around, set brightness and levels using photoshop and shows result of printed card*

Shawqi: "Heheh. I think we over did it. Could we go somewhere in the middle?"

Me: *lasso around, set brightness and levels using photoshop and shows result of printed card*

Shawqi: "Oh dear! Looks like a vampire really. We need to add more colour, to look more natural"

Me: *lasso around, tweak RGB, set brightness and levels using photoshop and shows result of printed card*

Shawqi: "Yes. It's much better but the nose still spoils the picture. Can you paint the nose so that it's more uniformed?"

Me: -.-"

Me: "Paint the nose?"

Me: *eyedrop, brush and clone stamp around using photoshop and shows result of printed card*

Shawqi: "Oh! I think you did it"

-- 3 minutes later --

Shawqi: "I think the area around the eyes are abit dark"

Me: *brush and dodge using photoshop and shows result of printed card*

Shawqi: "Oh, this is the new one? Yes, the eyes are brighter now. Hmm okay go ahead!"

Me: "Phew"


In an unrelated incident, I learned these 3 arabic words yesterday. Trying to expand my pathetic arabic vocabulary even after being here for nearly 4 freaking months.

Ashasma - Bahraini slang for "What is the name?". Often used to delay some time to help recall of the right word to use.

Hagehr - 1. For, 2. Really?

Mohjul - Means available.
