I posted this up at NPI for a bit, just before HQ changed the Art section format, and never got a nibble.  I'm looking for someone much more skilled at Photoshop than I, to do a little manipulation work for me.

The project:  last year, a friend & I had a tintype photo taken, with a saloon setting as the backdrop.  Unfortunately, their attention to detail was sorely lacking.  All of the bottles behind the bar in the background (we're *at* the bar, so it's easily noticable) are current stock, so they're almost all out of place.  I've found many images of vintage bottle lables from the era, and would like to see them added to the picture as seamlessly as possible.  I could probably do the recoloring & cropping & such myself, but getting the proper perspective & lighting is something I haven't built up the skill for yet.  I have no idea if this would be a quick & easy job for someone, or a large pain in the arse.  If anyone is interested, you can PM or email me (or even respond here, of course), and I can let you see what you're getting yourself into before accepting the mission.

Of course, this may not be the appropriate place for this, so Mods can feel free to move or delete as necessary. (all I ask is to be told what was incorrect, so I don't do it again  ^_^)

Can you post a small copy of the picture you want to fix?  I may not be able to start it for a week or so (lost a major file on my Challenge project so I'm way behind) but if you don't have any takers I can see what I can do.

Here's a handy link to the preliminary scan.  I'm pretty sure I can scan it at a higher dpi than what this one is (scanned it almost a year ago....can't remember that far  :P), which should be easier to work with (if just a bigger file).  If you look close enough, there's a Captain Morgan bottle, an Absolut Vodka, and even a bloody bottle of khalua!  You can imagine my distress once I spotted those (wish I had seen them prior to the pic being taken.....but we were just glad to be in out of the awful heat that day).
