  Jacks Hallowe'en fire

  The carved pumpkin, lit by a candle inside, is one of Halloween’s most prominent symbols. / These lanterns are usually carved from a turnip or swede (or more uncommonly a mangelwurzel). / The jack-o’-lantern can be traced back to the Irish legend of Stingy Jack, a greedy, gambling, hard-drinking old farmer. / He tricked the devil into climbing a tree and trapped him by carving a cross into the tree trunk. / In revenge, the devil placed a curse on Jack, condemning him to forever wander the earth at night. This story has been passed down through generations of Irish families. / The carving of pumpkins is associated with Halloween in North America, where pumpkins were readily available and much larger, making them easier to carve than turnips. Many families that celebrate Halloween carve a pumpkin into a frightening or comical face and place it on their home’s doorstep after dark. In America the tradition of carving pumpkins is known to have preceded the Great Famine period of Irish immigration. / The tradition of carving vegetable lanterns may have been brought over by the Scottish or English—documentation is unavailable to establish when or by whom. The carved pumpkin was originally associated with harvest time in general in America and did not become specifically associated with Halloween until the mid-to-late 19th century. / -From Wikipedia / Halloween work details – Original is acrylic painting which I’ve altered (alot) in ps with airbrush, burn and dodge tools, some smudging and color changes. / Original painting- Cheeky Jack / also available on a tshirt / ““http://www.redbubble.com/people/dimarie/clothing/1072798-1-jacks-fire-tee Click on any category above for that genre… or / Click here to go back to my profile page ... thanx :)

• Tutorial: Layer Masks and Transparency Gradients for "The Heart"
  by Cain Doherty

  I have an improved and better formatted version of this tutorial in my wordpress blog....

  I have an improved and better formatted version of this tutorial in my wordpress blog. This tutorial will cover digital blending in Photoshop CS3 using layer masks and transparency gradients. It is aimed at those who are interested in seeking alternatives to HDR (High Dynamic Range) processing. I would consider the usage of these techniques as digital graduated neutral density filters and although it can take some time to implement, I find the benefits to be: Preservation of intended colour and tone Complete control over contrast gradients Elimination of halo effects Elimination of fringing I will use one of my photographs, The Heart, to illustrate the method. 1. Download this zipped folder containing the two images to be used for blending and open IMG_1166 in Photoshop. 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.

• Photoshop Trick to Take a Vertical Composition and Make it Horizontal Without Losing Pixels or Subject's Size!!

  Ok, I thought I’d give back what I’ve learned since so many people on the Internet have helped me out! If you already know this and I’m the only one who just figured it out recently, then I’ll slap myself silly and call it a day LOL. Today, I’d like to show you how to get the most in terms of pixels on your subject, without cropping or enlarging the actual subject. We all know that when you crop an image, you lose pixels, when you enlarge, you may get blur depending on the software you use. I use Photoshop CS and CS4 (recently got). Let’s take this picture as an example. / It’s a nice tight shot taken vertically with some white space all around her. I have learned to frame my subjects like this and ensure I have space all around, because later I can have more options to work with. Now with that image, all you can pretty much do is print vertically, which is ok. Now let’s say you wanted to achieve the same shot but framer her to the right, like 1/3 of the picture for an interesting composition. With you camera, you would turn it sideways and have to “zoom out” to fit her in the right or left side and have all that white space on either side. Now, it will be a great image, except now your subject has gotten much smaller in terms of the overall portrait. Get it? You got that shot, but you had to lose out on the size of the subject. So if you cropped or enlarged, you would lose out a bit on pixels and maximum enlargement size. Well I just learned that the crop tool, ain’t just for cropping in photoshop, well at least just not for cropping “down”. What I’m about to show you will work mostly on solid white or black backdrops, with very little effort, since colors will match perfectly. You can do it with other shades of white, but you will have some cloning, dodging or burning to do. I opened Kaylie’s picture, the one I took vertically against a solid white backdrop that was overexposed. In photoshop, I took the crop tool and dragged it over the entire photo. Then instead of dragging one side in to crop it smaller, i dragged it “out”, making my canvas larger! Before doing this, i made sure my swatch color was white. After I expanded the crop to one side, I hit enter. This made the canvas size larger and filled it in with the white color from my swatch! Really in like less than 2 minutes! Now you see the same image with Kaylie on the right and all this white space on the left, looking as if I shot it this way. But, you will notice now that it is landscape and Kaylie’s body size remains the same, so we have not lost any pixels on her. ! So now we have an image that works either in portrait or landscape printing! You can also do this in case you wanted a subject centered, etc. You can also do this by increasing canvas size, etc, but this is quick and super easy! This works great if you shoot musicians or anything that later may require that extra white space for words for a poster or CD cover, etc. Final image: / Please note that this image wasn’t completely white, so I did some cloning in the final image. But you will get the point I’m trying to make in this tutorial. Let me know if you have any questions! Enjoy! xoxo / Jen
