Photoshop Tutorial - For Intermediate Users

This is a very Filter, and labor intensive process that brings excellent results.
Need to create the illusion of an old antiqued image, faded and cracked?

Then this should help you. It's a bit complicated you might have to pause the video.

Photoshop Tutorial - For Beginners and Intermediates

It's NOT about changing your images....no!. I prefer to say "I've just Enhanced my Images"
Well, in CS3's new "Exposure Adjustment Layer", life just got that much more simpler for me to do it.

Here I'll demonstrate my old technique, and compare it with what I can now do in CS3

Note for Intermediate users: In this tutorial I have my default "Masks on Adjustments" is turned off.
The reason? I want beginners to get into the habit of using masks for filters, adjustments etc.

Photoshop Tutorial - Advanced Intermediate Users

It's not difficult to spot...you know that great image, it has everythinng
going for it it; Good composition and framing, mood, subject etc, etc....BUT
...but it's missing that certain something, you just can put your finger on.

Well if it's lighting, then maybe I can help with a little "Photoshoptic Surgery"
we'll transform that dull lifeless image and make it "more gooder" than ever.

Photoshop Tutorial - For Advanced Beginners and Intermediate Users

There was a time when vignettes were "undesirable" in photographs. Vignettes
in the real world are created by such things as wide angle lenses, lens elements,
polarizing filters, lens hoods, etc...etc

Recently I have noticed this effect being created artificially in magazine, on the web,
and in wedding albums. It offers a nice touch to just about any image, and takes it one step further.

I'll show you how to create two distinct types of vignettes that you can use to add
some style, and take you one step closer to becoming a true "Photoshoptic Surgeon"

Oh Boy! More fun than watching a hot dog get run over by a car on the highway.

We'll start with 2 images make them look like they belong together, and then create
an artificial "Depth of Field" (DOF) to enhance the illusion even further.

Follow along with me, try it...and lets see what you did!

Photoshop Discussion / * Photoshop comparison - Uprezing
« on: June 16, 2007, 11:01 »
Photoshop comparison "Adobe Photoshop CS3" and "OnOne's Genuime - Fractals Version 5"

See the simple side by side comparisons from 100% - 300% and 500%
I make no claim that either one is better than the other. I leave the final
judgement call to you.

My only comments is that Adobe has really made some really big improvements in CS3

Photoshop Tutorial - Intermediate and Advanced Users
Note: Please brace yourself to "Have Fun" before proceeding

Here's a nifty way to make a presentation image from any image in your portfolio.
Use only one image, and turn it into a business card, web banner or any other
professional presentation you like.

With lots of options: using text, the move tool, clipping group, and layer mask,
you can configure your image anyway you like. (Also use the opacity slider -- I didn't mention that)

It's all about having FUN!

Photoshop Tutorial -Advanced Intermediate Users

My attempt to create a technique I have seen a few times, I began to wonder
if I could create the same effect myself. It looks like a Polaroid picture, with part
of the images extending beyond the frame of the picture itself, giving the illusion
of a 3D effect.

Have a look. It was fun trying duplicate and I'm sure you can do
the same thing with a few of your own images.

What?! Are you saying this may have been a "half baked" idea,
created by SS for the sole purpose of gaining popularity, and a following of photographers?

A marketing idea if you will, sort of the proverbial "Free Lunch" to lure photographer loyalty?
If so, I think this is a cheap shot by SS.

I don't like the way SS conducts business in the first place,
so I'm apt to run off half cocked, and crucify SS for anything. Perhaps I should be ignored

Photoshop Tutorial - For Beginners and Intermediate Users

This is a fun technique to use on portraits. (or any image) - Used a lot in
commercial fashion work, you can begin to explore and experiment just
what you can do to change an your images.

This technique is quick, easy, and can be done in less time then it takes to spell
"Photoshoptic Surgery"

I don't know. I realize some like the blue colorcast, but I prefer a natural image.
...or one that appears to be natural with the slightest hint of blue

Photoshop Tutorial - For Intermediate Users

A small nifty trick affords you better control in areas that you need to lighten up.
Because its on an adjustment layer, you have total absolute control.

Photoshop Tutorial - Advanced beginners and Intermediate Users

In my last tutorial: Quick and easy "Color Cast" correction
http://microstockpix.com/tuts/colorcast/colorcast.html

There was some hemming and hording about the fact I did not include a way
to find and set the neutral gray point on a colorcast image.

Well although the tutorial was intended for beginners, all those more advanced
users jumped all over me for not including it. So here it is. I hope those advanced
Photoshoptic Surgeons stay off my case now!

A member of my forum asked me to do this tutorial, so I am NOT responsible
for it's contents. I'm a good soldier and do what I'm told (lol)

So, that said I'll show you how to select an object...isolate it, and move it to a
different position in the image.

Another trick I show is covering up where the
object was moved from, and no I didn't use the clone tool.

Tools used in this tutorial are:
The Marquee Tool
The Free Transform Tool
The move tool
