Liquify filter gave myself a digital gauge. That's one heck of a ear lobe.

Tried very quickly to blend with the actual back round. It's cheesy but at least I got a chance to see myself with a gauge.

Gif Colors and Quality


GIF #1

GCQ: Color 6 File size: 7k


Discuss:

6 Color very plane. much of the backround seems to be missing. objects colors run together. 







GIF #2

GCQ: Color 200 File Size: 36k


Discuss:

200 Color brings out the back round for sure. If you look closely at the eyes you will see a definite change in appearance.
