You may have seen this already. I didn’t feel it was very ‘sjem’ so had it elsewhere, I’ve been convinced otherwise … /

an image capturing the factors that impact on the “quality” of a photographic image. A window, glass, made opaque due to medium density housing regulations, dirty due to water restrictions, the sky and sunshine still fall on the fence that seperates us from strangers. The camera captures this everyday scene, the negative has imperfections, dust attaching itself to its surface during drying, or is pressed between it and the glass during scanning. The scanned image once again “loses” some of what was originally visible, printing the image again brings in imperfections in paper and ink. Yet even with these limitations and imperfections, the power and essence of the image remains. photographer: Chris Zissiadis / camera: Holga 120N

Tutorial: Layer Masks and Transparency Gradients for "The Heart"
by Cain DohertyThis tutorial will cover my development of The Heart with Photoshop CS3…
This tutorial will cover my development of The Heart with Photoshop CS3. The source images can be downloaded by clicking on the thumbnails for a larger version and right clicking to save to your computer. / IMG_1164 & IMG_1166 A key part of processing The Heart is making use of layer masks. This enables modification of selected regions of the photograph created in this case with the gradient tool. 1. To begin, open IMG_1166. 2. Press Ctrl+Shift+N and click OK to add a new layer. To place IMG_1164 on this layer go to File > Place and find where you saved it. Click the tick to commit the transform. 3. To create a mask, click the New Layer Mask (grey square with white circle inside) button in the Layers palette. To create a transparency gradient on this mask, first hit G to bring up the gradient toolbar and select a linear gradient. Then click and drag as shown in the following picture. 4. The next layer will be a photo filter so click Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Photo Filter and hit OK. Push the density slider to 100% and select a custom colour with properties as shown in the following picture. 5. Now apply another layer mask and gradient, as done previously, to restrict the photo filter to the sky. Change the blend mode to Linear Burn and opacity to 70% for the following picture. The Linear Burn blend mode is similar to Color Burn, but instead of increasing contrast, it decreases brightness to darken the base color and reflect the blend color. Now add curves layers to the foreground and then the sky. 6. Click Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Curves and hit OK. Then modify each of the RGB channels to reflect something like the following picture. 7. Change the blend mode to soft light and add a layer mask and gradient (this time in reverse) to restrict the curves layer to the foreground. This will produce the following result. The curves layer that targets the sky looks like this. 8. Change the blend mode again to soft light, opacity to 75% and create a layer mask and gradient to achieve the following result. 9. The final step involves adding a levels layer and changing its blend mode to ‘screen’ to boost the lighter areas. An opacity of 90% will achieve the picture shown below. 10. Straightening the horizon and correcting the barrel distortion yields The Heart. If you’ve found this useful please let me know. Feedback and discussion is welcome. My previous tutorial Photographing the Milky Way with a standard DSLR camera has attracted five hundred views so I figured it was worthwhile to write another. Cain Doherty

I have a Bird in spring / Which for myself doth sing – / The spring decoys. / And as the summer nears – / And as the Rose appears, / Robin is gone. Yet do I not repine / Knowing that Bird of mine / Though flown – / Learneth beyond the sea / Melody new for me / And will return. Fast is a safer hand / Held in a truer Land / Are mine – / And though they now depart, / Tell I my doubting heart / They’re thine. In a serener Bright, / In a more golden light / I see / Each little doubt and fear, / Each little discord here / Removed. Then will I not repine, / Knowing that Bird of mine / Though flown / Shall in a distant tree / Bright melody for me / Return. / ~ Emily Dickinson I also have an online greeting card store. / Kimberly’s Card Store I aso have a wide variety of products at Zazzle Images copyright ©Kimberly Palmer. / Copying, displaying, manipulating or redistribution of any image from this portfolio without permission from the artist is strictly prohibited / / Past and Present Group Features / The Nest

LIMITED EDITION FRAMED PRINTS / On sale 6th October 2008 – 10 prints only I created this artwork for the Extra Cheeese group show in Sydney this weekend. The theme was re-use…I found an old wooden wine box at Salvos and made it into a lightbox. This was printed onto acrylic, which slides between two J-frames (allowing access to change the lightbulb). The show wraps up on Sunday 5th Oct – so go check it out if you are in the area. This was snapped up before the show opened – so you can only get a copy here! Flyer / Extra Cheeese Photos from the opening will be posted on 2threads soon and I’ll post a link of the artwork lit up in the gallery. To create this I reference photos – reducing the contrast down and then outlining by hand. Everything then gets coloured in Photoshop. You might notice some of my old artwork in there as tattoos. And yes, that is Kat von D – I love her style!

Gradient Mapping in Photoshop

Gradient Maps are one of those adjustments in Photoshop that people feel they couldn’t use for any useful purpose with their images. So what do gradient maps do ….. they allow you to assign different colours to the tonal values of an image. When you open a gradient map adjustment layer, it will default to the colours you have set as your f/ground and b/ground. Go ahead and use the image below to practise on if you like. Set your f/ground to black and your b/ground to white, duplicate the layer and then, using the adjustment layer icon at the bottom of the layers palette, click on gradient map. You can do a comparison with how the gradient mapped image (now B&W) compares if you had simply desaturated the original image. The gradient mapped image has more contrast and would be a much nicer image to start with if you were looking to produce a B&W image. So what is the gradient map doing ? If you look at the small dialogue box below You will see that the shadows are at the left and the highlights at the right and it has mapped the image with black in the shadows, moving through to white in the highlights. You can choose whatever colours you want. In the image below, of a rather sucky sunrise, I have chosen red as my foreground colour and yellow as the background. Applied the gradient map, changed the blend mode to overlay and taken the opacity down to about 40%. I could probably have used a mask to take away the molten lava look on the rock shelf :-) You can also check the Reverse box to change the way the image is mapped, in this case white is being mapped into the darker parts of the image, and black into the lighter parts. With the gradient dialogue box open, click on the bar to bring up the gradient editor. You will then get the gradient editor dialogue box. You can mess around with the presets to try them, I chose Silver from the Metal/s. You could leave it at Silver if you wanted, but why not go ahead and see what you can create. The image below will give you a visual idea of the process. Click on one of the colour stops – circled on the above image, and that will bring the colour into the colour box – outlined with a rectangle – you can go ahead and choose a new colour. You can see in the image above that all except one stop have been changed to blue – the other is a pink colour. I left the editor like that and clicked OK to accept it. You go ahead and fiddle around to your hearts content. I then changed the blend mode to Colour Burn and took the opacity down to 50%. You can also add additional stops to the gradient if you want. Place your cursor just below the bottom line of the gradient bar (where the stops are) and you should get a little hand that says add colour stop (or add stop …. can’t remember) Also, if you come up with a gradient map that you would like to keep, name your map in the small box that says name … and then click save. See image below. That is all there is to using a Gradient Map adjustment layer. You can do the wild and whacky thing, a B&W conversion, or simply use it enhance the colours in an image like I did with the sunrise image earlier on.
