Mouse Picnic: or, What Not to Do With Photoshop

Just in case my previous offering was not seasonal (or weird) enough for you, let me present this photo manipulation. I made it one evening at the end of November, and I have been holding it in reserve in case my vid wasn't ready to post today.

The image of the Lads is from the scene in Blood Sports where they are looking under a car. I've always thought that, based on their expressions, they should be looking at something a lot more interesting than a bomb inside a cigarette pack.

Bodie and Doyle stare at two mice picnicking under a Christmas tree.

Making the elements of this manip hang together (in as much as they do) was unusually difficult. Frames captured from my copies of the Professionals episodes are blurry/noisy in a way that is hard to reproduce in the other components of the image, so Pros manips have proven trickier to create than those I did some years ago for The Man from U.N.C.L.E..

Components: Pros framcap, one mouse, another mouse, picnic spread, Christmas tree branches

(Incidentally, I actually made this piece in GIMP—GNU Image Manipulation Program—not Photoshop. But whatever you shouldn't do with GIMP, you shouldn't do with Photoshop, either.)
