If you are talking about the people, and how they look im not sure how they did it but i tried to mimic it, this is what it looks like this What i did was duplicate the layer several times, set the blending mode to screen, do as many layers as the image begins to get white. Play with the opacity to control the blending option, and last layer make it multiply and lower the opacity to about 20 or watever u think is right..Hope this helps

Hey infamous,

Thanks for the tip. I'm going to try and do that. It's no so more the white that they used, but if you notice on the first gentlemen on the left; you can see the effect they were using on the image...I dont know if its texture or some sort of color mode but I like that effect they used and you can't really see it anywhere else as much as you can see it on the left guy on his beige jacket (trying to pinpoint it for ya!). Thanks again...

Try putting the contrast in your image way up (image > adjustments > brightness/contrast) , then tone it down a bit using hue/saturation, move the saturation slider to the left.

Should give you quite the same effect...then you can play with layer modes and color settings to achieve a better result.

hey guys,

thanks again for the input...Im going to play with the tips you guys gave me and upload my picture...

Yo infamous nice shot...you spin as well?

i think that on his jacket is due to the quality of the image. If it's not due to the quality of the jpg or whatever, then I don't know.
