YEP... thats becasue i am a newb (with photoshop).... any suggestions???
thanks for the input
Well it’s a great start! And Photoshop is very tough if you don’t know it. Just remember when working with photos the best thing is to produce an excellent photo first then bring it into Photoshop and play with it. It’s hard to do effects like this with a low quality photo without making the the photo pixelize. What Photoshop version are you using? What camera are you shooting with? Any experience with HDR Photography?
Waiting for instructions :biggrin:
Thanks for the comment.... thats exactly what i am looking for... now, any suggestions???? I believe the picture i started with was a pretty crappy picture to begin with (been learning how to use my canon 50d) and i know i have a LONG way to go with the photo taking techniques.... so, any suggestions on what i can improve on with the photoshopping????
thanks again....Dave
I think you are on the right track with the camera selection ONEADAM12! That can produce some lovely photos with a bit of practice. One thing I started working with is HDR photography which I think you would really like. You basically take three or two different exposures of the same photo then merge them together.
I believe when using photoshop you go to file/automate/Merge to HDR and then you can play with it. Here is an example of HDR Photography.
High Exposure
Medium Exposure
low Exposure
Final Image
The three different images allow you to work with the levels of each image together so you can really make a image pop! This is probably not the best example since it is so dark but you get the idea!
I dont ever use filters when using photoshop, I think the only way to produce a great photo is with the camera and if I need to tweak it a little I will. Im still learning a lot too!! I really would suggest Adobe Light-room if you really like using filters and image correction. Though photoshop allows you to do this as well Light-room is just a great program for editing your images. I look at photoshop more of a tool for chopping more then anything but it can used for just about anything you want to do. I will give you my number if you want to call and I can walk you through a few things!! Let me know!
