I am currently working through my third CS3 tutorial and I picking up a ton of useful tips for my photographic workflow. I just HAD to share this one with you. Regarding Hue/Saturation. When you overdo this on an adjustment layer in your photos your detail is lost and it looks really blocky. Sometimes you just can’t get the saturation adjustments you need. Here’s how its done – Thank you to Chris Orwig for this one. 1) Open you image and convert it to LAB colour using: Image – Mode – Lab Colour 2) Create a curves adjustment layer 3) In the Curves dialog box ALT-click the grid to get a more detailed display 4) Go to the a – channel 5) Pull the black slider on the bottom of the grid into the right just one grid line (in this example although you can play!) 6) Pull the white slider opposite into the left by the same one grid line 7) Switch to the b channel and repeat. 8) Check out your image. This method actually increases saturation in tones you couldn’t even see that you had. Its excellent for autumn leaves or rivers and waterfalls. 9) When your done exit Curves dialog and convert your image back to RGB (select to Flatten in the pop up prompt) 10) Your all done. This is by far the best tip I’ve discovered so far. I tried it out of interest on a shot from this afternoon and it brought out lovely greens in Autumn leaves and a lovely hazy blue on water and waterfalls. Try it – I think you will like it! :D

Ten Tips for the Absolute Photoshop CS2 Beginner

So you’ve finally installed your copy of Photoshop CS2, the one your friends have been raving about for months now and telling you how good it is and how you won’t be able to live without it. Yet, once installed, you can’t make heads or tails out of it? The language seems so foreign and you have no idea just where to start. Here are 10 very basic tips on getting to know and love Photoshop CS2 – you’ll see that in no time, you’ll agree that your friends are right on this one – you won’t be able to live without it! Let’s begin: / 1. When you open up an image for the first time, make a copy of that image and give it a name. Then promptly close the original image so that you have a record of it. To do this, simply go to the “layers” panel, right click on the background image and then select “duplicate layer” and select “new” in the destination bar. It’s good practise to do this each and every time, so that you maintain a record of the images in their original format, to those that have been edited. 2. Digital cameras use their sensors to see the images we see with our eyes. Sometimes images captured with our cameras aren’t as we remember them. That’s because no matter how sensitive the sensor, they’re still no match for our own eyes. To try and replicate the image we saw with our own eye, we need to tweak the levels, the contrast and the colour. When you’re just starting out, simply select “image” from the toolbar, go to “adjustments”, then select auto levels, auto contrast, and auto colour. You can always undo these steps in the history panel. And when you get more comfortable with PS, you’ll be able to tweak the levels, contrast and colour yourself from that same “adjustment” menu. 3. Is the photo still lacking that little something? Perhaps you need to apply “curves” to it. No, it won’t warp it into something unrecognisable (unless you want it to…) curves will simply help with the tonal range of your image. If your image is lacking contrast, it could be that the curve is a little flat. To remedy this go to “image” in the drop down menu, select “adjustment” then “curves”, a graph will display and you will want to make that line follow an “S” shape. As you’re tweaking it, watch the changes on your image, then simply select ok when you’re done. / 4. Now, speaking of warping images. You’ve taken that perfect shot of that sunset. Compositionally it’s perfect, the colours to die for, but your horizon is crooked. Do you delete the image? No, of course not! Do you live with the image as is? No, of course not! To correct something like a crooked horizon line, go to “Select” in the toolbar, select ‘all” – you should have marching ants surrounding your image (hoorah!), go to “edit” in the toolbar and select “transform” from the menu. Now you have a selection of different methods of transforming your image – and it will depend what you want to do with it as to which method you choose. For this example, let’s select “skew”, then use your cursor to straighten up that horizon. When you’re done, just hit enter, the computer will have a think and you’re done. 5. If you’re still not sure whether that horizon is straight or you simply want to see if you’re following the “rule of thirds”, then go to “view” in your toolbar, select “show” then “grid” – these gridlines will tell you just how straight the lines in your image really are. / / 6. Get to know and love “Layers”. That is the one big mystery that catches beginners in PS time and time again. I’m sure volumes can be written about Layers alone, as they are crucial in turning an ordinary image into a WOW image. Layers means that you can divide your creation into different parts by assigning these parts to different layers. Different “layer effects” can be applied that can enhance your image, and you can blend more than one image together to create a totally new image – this is all possible by using layers. If I have an image of a flower and the background isn’t especially pleasing, then I can create a layer, position this above the flower image, select a brush and colour of my choice and begin to paint on that new blank layer. You haven’t destroyed the flower image, and any excess painting can simply be erased. Which brings me to the next point, 7. Make “Layer Masks” your next best friend to using layers. Using the analogy of painting a more interesting background for your flowers, there is an icon in your layers palette – the circle in a square, select that icon and you will see it will appear on the layer you had active. Making sure that the mask is the active of the two images on that layer, now select the “eraser” tool and make sure that the colour selection in your toolbox is set to black and white. White will erase what you have painted, and the black will add the paint back again. What this means, is that you won’t lose the image as it stands. There is nothing worse than making changes, finding you don’t like them, then finding you have to start all over again as the history panel has only gone back so far. Using layers and layer masks will help save a lot of time and effort, as what they do is act as a record for each editing change you make on your image. 8. Again discussing layers, don’t be afraid to select a choice other than “normal” when applying layers. One effect that is popular and creates a dreamy, diffused effect to your image, is the “Orton Effect”. To do this, you will need to duplicate your background image. Now with your duplicate, go to your “filters” toolbar and select “blur” then “Gaussian blur”, depending on your image and the effect, choose any number of pixels here. The greater the pixels, the more diffused and exaggerated the effect. Select ok, then go to the layers panel, select “multiply” and you now have a soft, dreamy, moody image. Selecting other effects such as overlay, soft light, hard light and so on will yield you different results, so have a play with the effects. You can always tone it down by moving the slider from 100% opacity to a lower amount. 9. Could your images use a little more sharpness to them? There are several ways of sharpening your image, but for me the easiest and most effective is the “High Pass” method. Begin with your background image, then duplicate. Go to the “filters” toolbar and select “other” from the drop down menu, then select “high pass”. Here is where you don’t want to overdo it. Only select between 1 and 2 pixels for a realistic look. The image shown should be quite grey with only the sharpest areas highlighted. Select ok, then in the layers palette, select “overlay” and your image is now sharper and crisper. If you still want to retain some areas that aren’t as crisp, simply apply a layer mask and erase the part of the high pass image you don’t want (remember to make sure you’re erasing the mask, and not the image). 10. Lastly, don’t be afraid to explore and play with his wonderful program – it has so much to offer, that these 10 basic steps really don’t even do it justice, but they’re a way to slowly introduce you to the joys of Photoshop. Keep a pen and notebook beside you so that you can record your steps and discoveries – there’s nothing worse than trying to remember exactly what you did last time. / Most importantly, have fun, enjoy and create!

This piece was inspired by the events of watching and photographing a family of bald eagles in Ft. Pierce, Florida for the past 6 days. It’s been an incredible week. It’s rainy here …..or I’d be out at the eagle’s nest again today!! :-) The background photo is one I shot yesterday at the site of the eagles and their nest. The silhouette of the eagle is one I previously uploaded. I’ve blended the two photos in Adobe PS-CS2 to create this piece.

These are two photos I shot. The background was the sky one evening over Ft. Pierce Florida. And the other is a Turkey Vulture I had taken a photo of at our local zoo. I’ve post edited both photos in PS CS2. / Turkey Vultures ave a highly developed sense of smell, and are able to detect carrion by that sense alone, from very long distances. The carrion is detected long before it starts rotting too much, vultures will avoid eating badly rotten flesh, possibly because of lethal bacteria, & prefer fresh meat (in fact will often bathe after eating). The larger vultures have keen eyesight & a poorer sense of smell, relying on the smaller vultures to find the carrion & then chasing them off. Some of the larger vultures prefer to eat the parts that the smaller ones can’t (such as the skin & tough tendons), leaving the rest for the smaller vultures. Early theories on the success of Turkey vultures included a highly developed sense of hearing able to detect the sound of flies around the carcass, the ability to spot small flesh eating rodents heading towards the carcass and an “occult” sense that humans could not detect. Other vultures do use sight to detect carrion, both directly & by observation of other vultures heading down towards the carcass. / Turkey vultures do NOT eat live animals. They will not hurt your pets or children. / A group of vultures is called a “Venue”. Vultures circling in the air are a “Kettle”. / American Vultures can smell, but African vultures cannot. The Turkey Vulture has the best sense of smell of the American vultures. The Vulture poop is actually a sanitizer! Their uric acid is so strong (because of the nature of their diets) that it kills bacteria. / Vultures have excellent eyesight, but, like all other birds, they have poor vision in the dark. American vultures find food both with their eyesight and sense of smell. / Vultures prefer to eat fairly fresh meat. They will turn their nose up at rotten meat if there is any alternative available. They also prefer the meat of herbivorous animals, avoiding that of dogs and other carnivores.

This is a bit of an experiment. Two photos layered together – one infrared and the other ‘normal’.

A Tip for You - Smart Sharpening in Photoshop

I have just learned a really useful little tip for Sharpening images in Photoshop which I thought I should share with you all. Until now when I sharpened an image in CS3 with Smart Sharpen I used to sharpen and then leave it at that. As you may well know over sharpening can produce exaggerated noise and produce “halo” effects on your edges which look plain nasty. Here’s a few useful tips to help you improve the quality of your sharpening. – Always sharpen to a NEW LAYER (Merge all to new layer using SHIFT+CTRL+ALT+E on PC’s) – I always convert this layer to a smart object to allow me to modify any applied filter effects. – Always change the blend mode on this layer to LUMINOSITY. This massively reduces the halo effects on your sharpened image. (Try over-sharpening an image and then changing the blend mode to luminosity just to see this in action) – Follow these guidelines for smart sharpening for the best results For STANDARD SHARPENING – Amount 100, Radius <=2 / For SOFT IMAGES – Amount 140, Radius <=1 / For PORTRAITS – Amount <=5 Try these guidelines out and see what you think.
