Find The Face: The Sequel

Filed under: Funny — Steve Speirs @ 10:39 am

Find The Face

After several blog comments and numerous emails all saying how much they enjoyed the Find The Face In The Coffee Beans download in her shoes online

post, I thought it would be fun to test my Photoshop skills and come up with my own unique Find The Face illusion.

It’s embarrassing to admit, but I once owned one of the almost-impossible-to-finish Baked Bean Jigsaw Puzzles which drove me crazy for several weeks. It was this memory that gave me the inspiration for the “Baked Bean Find The Face Illusion” watch mirrors in divx . A quick visit to iStockphoto revealed a nice selection of Baked Bean images, so now it was just a question of finding a face to use in the illusion. A glance through my recent holiday photos provided the perfect pic – a photo of me after the Llanelli 10k race I ran in Wales.

So, 10 minutes later, after carefully selecting, scaling, rotating and overlaying my head on the Baked Bean image, the masterpiece was complete. A quick reduction in opacity finished the task and here I present to you the “Cymru66 Find The Face In The Baked Beans Illusion“….

If you manged to find the face in the coffee beans 25th hour divx movie online , I’m sure you want have any trouble finding me, the human baked bean, in the image. Have fun and as always, your visits, comments and stumbles are appreciated!

  2. Great work Steve, think we’ve spotted you – are you slightly submerged, around the 5.25 mark on the clock face? Hmmm. If we get this right we’ll post it next week, OK?

  10. I spotted you, but not where I expected to. Nice.

    Comment by RT Cunningham — July 20, 2007 @ 9:02 pm

  11. Where did you expect to find me?

    Comment by Steve Speirs — July 20, 2007 @ 9:04 pm

  12. Up front. But you’re not. I did, however, find an exact representation of my rear end there.

    Comment by RT Cunningham — July 20, 2007 @ 9:17 pm

  13. hahaha! :) nice one RT…

    Comment by Steve Speirs — July 20, 2007 @ 9:20 pm

  14. well done mate! but too bad that i still can’t find it

    Comment by king — July 21, 2007 @ 3:56 am

  15. Oh … tell me, tell me, where’s the face, I can’t find from both the coffee and bean, is there anything wrong with my eyes :(

    Comment by Joanne — July 23, 2007 @ 3:14 am

  16. Am I only suppose to see an eye.. because that’s all I see.. and have been back like three times.. erm I suppose I will try again… :) Good once though.. you totally got me stumped

    Comment by Jolly Green Girl — July 23, 2007 @ 7:58 am

  17. Ok, clue time….

    If you did the coffee bean illusion and found the face near the bottom right of the image, this time look for the face near the top left of the baked bean image…

    Good luck!

  18. Steve,

    Is that your face in the one bean? Scary! Are you a scary guy? If I am correct I have to admit I shouldn’t have ever found it without your clue.

    Comment by Theresa111 — July 23, 2007 @ 3:11 pm

  19. I probably find u… You have lost your ears in the beans…? And u have white reflex on your nose?? If I am right..I found you in 10 minutes…hard…very hard job…

    Comment by Marco — July 23, 2007 @ 5:23 pm

  20. OMG… I’ll never find it :’(

    Comment by El Gigante Verdoso — July 23, 2007 @ 7:16 pm

  21. Very, very funny. Great idea- this made me laugh. It’s like some sort of sick nightmare, stuck inside some beans!

    Comment by Randa Clay — July 23, 2007 @ 8:00 pm

  22. I believe I’ve found ya. After comparing your face to every other bean on the top left I’ve been able to see the hidden face. Its very well blended in however :)

    Comment by Kevin — July 23, 2007 @ 11:28 pm

  23. I think I found the same face than Marcos… but still in doubt… the coffee bean face was certainly a man… this face is like a mud figure !!!

    Anyway, very good work. :)

  24. I can’t see them!! What am I blind???

    Comment by taylorblue — July 24, 2007 @ 12:39 pm

  25. Damn, man. You’re good. That one took me a full day to find and I was only speculating until I looked at the source photo of you that I was completely sure I’d selected the right one. Well done.

  26. Big bean, 10 oclock?

    Comment by GO! Smell the flowers — July 25, 2007 @ 3:52 am

  27. 10 o’clock it is…congrats!

    Comment by Steve Speirs — July 25, 2007 @ 4:29 am

  28. I’m find two faces. One in reflex on the bottom right, other embedded in a bean on top left.

    Comment by Mike — July 26, 2007 @ 2:07 pm

  29. OMG! I had to have the hint and then my daughter had to point it out to me! Once I could see it, it sort of creeped me out! That was really a good one! Think I’ll have to link you on my blog so more people can enjoy this challenge!

    Comment by Lynne — July 26, 2007 @ 2:55 pm

  30. Excellent! Thanks Lynne, sorry if it freaked you out too much :)

    Comment by Steve Speirs — July 26, 2007 @ 6:14 pm

  36. Sly: i can send you the solution if you like..

    Comment by Steve Speirs — July 27, 2007 @ 3:35 pm

  37. Very subtle! I would have never have found it without your clue of what area to look.. I had looked and looked FOREVER and couldn’t find it before that. Good one!

    Comment by Gerri — July 30, 2007 @ 4:16 am

  38. I had to go back and look. You know, it’s almost exactly the shape of your head. Creepy!

    Comment by RT Cunningham — July 30, 2007 @ 9:04 am

  39. Gerri: glad you found it..

    I won’t take that as a compliment RT! :)

    Comment by James — August 2, 2007 @ 6:09 pm

  44. i think it’s a bubble…no eye in the photo.

    glad you find the face,

    Comment by Steve Speirs — August 2, 2007 @ 8:09 pm

  45. I found it in about 2 & a half minutes,without the clue :)

    I just went bean by bean,but since i found it,i can’t see anything else but the face!

    Comment by Byohazard — August 3, 2007 @ 4:34 am

  46. Wow…
    Maybe you set the alpha of your face too low, but I barely see you even now I found you..

    Comment by Tom — August 3, 2007 @ 10:17 am

  47. Alright, I found this one, sure, and I needed some tips because I have to admit I didn’t quite know what I was looking for.

    Any tips for the coffee bean image though? Is it the same thing? Like, a face on a single bean, or what? I hate the stupid coffee bean one because I don’t know what the hell I’m looking for, whether it’s a bit outline compose of the coffee beans, a face hidden beneath the coffee beans, a small hint of a face, or what.

    Comment by Captain Ite — August 6, 2007 @ 1:17 pm

  48. I’ve tried the 10 o’clock thing, can’t get your picture to open to see what I am supposed to be looking for- HELP!!!!!!!

    Comment by Pepper — August 9, 2007 @ 7:54 pm

  49. Captain Ite: similar thing for the coffee. Clue – look near the bottom of the image…

    Pepper: The photo you see is the only one. Take a close look at each bean individually….you should see something :)

  51. From the photo I saw, the coffeebean face was on the left side, not the right. So which side is the face in the baked beans actually at? The photo I was talking about was the one that they referenced in the blog, the original photo.

    Comment by X Lanti X — September 28, 2008 @ 7:07 am

  65. Help me please Steve if you still go on this website it is impossible there is no face is there??
    I have only seen odd eyes outside of a bean!

    Comment by X Lanti X — September 28, 2008 @ 7:09 am

  66. also is your head on a bean?
    Also i believe there is a cat staring at me with a brown eye…in the middle left hand sign of the screen in the sauce…

    ok this is really good! i think ive found two faces, one in the top left hand corner and one in the bottom right hand corner which looks like a white glare coming off of the sauce.
    Anyways im not sure if ive found you or not but can you say if there is a glare coming off the bean above your mouth? if yes ive found you, if no wtf where are you? this is good man :D
