This afternoon at the cafe a customer wanted to edit a photo to put on his Facebook profile. Essentially he wanted to cut out himself and some friends and change the background colour. Now my computers aren’t really equipped for detailed editing such as that. I mean, he could have used MS Paint or something crappy like that but it would have been terrible.
So I mentioned that I could do it with my copy of Photoshop on my laptop for my standard graphic design rate of $20/hour. Yes, I have used this rate before, I didn’t just make it up.
So it took me almost exactly 1 hour to properly extract the people from these photos. He was really happy I was able to help him out. Perhaps I should offer my “extra” services more often. What do you think?
