Nice use of Nick A's tutorial. Though, for Valentines day, don't you think this is a little dark? Maybe something a little more uplifting. Good tutorial none-the-less.
With the layer beneath selected go to layer - new adjustment layer - hue / saturation - (check the use previous layer box, select hue saturation and get a color with the sliders that looks like night. kinda grayish/blue.
Rainy Day Photoshop Action - panosfx.com The RAINY DAY is a set of Photoshop actions that will make your images look as if they are seen through the window while it rains.
Step 1. In the beginning you have to be defined with the size of the canvas. It’s simple – we already know what we want to do. Let’s take the photo of our tone, will cut out accurately, and the size of the canvas we shall make twice more longer on a vertical. Step 2. Now we insert the picture which was cut out lately. Its place will be from above, and a place of its reflection – from below. We select and copy it on the new layer.
I think we've all had years when we didn't get any Valentine's day cards, and I don't know what's worse; trying to explain it to your friends or to your mother. Well now with this amazing invention they call 'Photoshop', these embarrassing situations need never happen again. I'll be showing you how to create a very basic Valentine's card and how to incorporate it into a photograph for you to send to your worried mother. Read on!
What does ISO stand for, you ask? ISO stands for International Standards Organization, which refers to the group that set the standards for film speed. Luckily, this doesn't have anything to do with what you need to know about ISO. ISO, as it relates to digital photography, is an indicator of how sensitive to light your camera's sensor is, and most digital cameras allow you to adjust this sensitivity. The majority of low to mid-range digital cameras have an ISO range that goes from somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 or 100 up to around 400 to 800. The lower the ISO number, the more light that is necessary to get proper exposure on a given shot. So why not crank the ISO setting all the way up to the max and be done with it? Although this would allow you to get good exposure even in low light situations, there is a catch. The higher you set the ISO, the more �noise� there will be, causing your pictures to come out grainy looking. FYI, the camera's �auto� setting doesn't always choose the lowest ISO possible. These days a good number of digital cameras employ some form of noise reduction at higher ISO settings. Unfortunately digital noise reduction is accomplished by applying a slight amount of blur to the image, which not only blurs out some of the noise, but also blurs out some of the fine detail. All things considered, the best way to approach ISO is to use the lowest possible setting, but don't over do it�using too low an ISO setting can result in blurry images caused by �camera shake�. Assuming that you are using a camera with an ISO range of 50 to 400, here are some rule of thumb examples: When shooting outside on a bright sunny day, use the lowest setting (ISO 50). On a heavily overcast day, or when shooting in heavy shade, use the next higher setting (ISO 100). When shooting in the early morning or late evening, use the next higher setting (ISO 200). If shooting at dusk or dawn, you would need to use your highest setting (ISO 400). However, there is a way to avoid using your higher ISO settings, even in low light�its called a tripod. This three-legged wonder allows you to keep your camera perfectly steady, which eliminates the blurry images caused by camera shake. Another option to keep your camera steady during low light shots is to set your camera on a stationary object (like a rock or the hood of your car) and use the self-timer. This feature allows a few seconds lag between the time you press the shutter button and when the camera takes the picture. Remember, keeping those ISO settings as low as you can, will give you clearer, cleaner photos. For more digital photography tips, visit my web site: http://www.jeffgalbraithphotography.ca
For different photos, the process and amount of adjustment won't be exactly the same. But you could also use this technique to change the color of the sky or sunset to the color arrangement from another photo.
One of many photographers' most annoying problem is harsh daylight lighting. In this Photoshop class, we'll teach you how to rescue those photos and make them look acceptable.
3. Duplicate the layer, and apply the very same settings as you did before once again. Remember tpl place the spot light in the middle of the streetlamp or any other source of light you have on your photo (such as car lights, candles, etc). if you won't place the light correct, the effect will not look natural, and we do want to achieve a perfectly natural looking night shot.
Proper lighting is all about balancing your surroundings with your intent. All it takes is a little know-how, ingenuity, and patience to take great pictures with lighting that showcases your subject and enhances the mood. Indoor lighting When indoors, it's key to provide as much natural light as possible. That said, be wary of light streaming through windows as it may fill your photographs with harsh contrasts. Don't have your subject stand directly in front of a window as it may cause a silhouette. In low light conditions, disable your flash and take advantage of ambient light for best results as a flash can mute color and cast stark shadows. Use a night scenery mode if your camera has one. Be sure to hold your camera steady since there will be a longer exposure time. If using artificial indoor lighting, try adjusting your white balance for more natural color. Most cameras have Tungsten (for incandescent bulbs) and Fluorescent settings to correct color since Auto mode doesn't always get it right. Outdoor lighting Outdoors, light is sometimes too much of a good thing. Avoid midday sunlight, as it can cast harsh, unflattering shadows. The best time of day for even, complementary lighting is dusk and dawn. For low-light conditions, the same rule applies as with indoor shooting: avoid flash and use a tripod to steady the camera to compensate for the longer exposure time. If your camera allows for ISO adjustment, set it low--in the 50-100 range--for finer details in low-light conditions. If you don't have a tripod, set your ISO higher to make your camera more sensitive to light, allowing for shorter shutter speeds. The trade-off is the risk of visual "noise" and grain to your photos, but at least you may get a shot you might have otherwise missed. Daytime shooting A common question comes up when shooting pictures of people in sunlight. Where do you position the subject relative to the sun for best results? The best condition outdoors for shooting pictures is an overcast day. Bright sunlight can wash out color. But when the sun is beating down, position your subject with the sun to their side. If they face the sun, they'll squint, and if it's at their back, you will have lighting issues, such as silhouetting. Here are some other daytime shooting pointers: - The passage of the sun results in a series of dramatic changes in color and shadow. Keep on the move, experimenting with different angles and shots. - Use fill flash to eliminate harsh facial shadows. Fill...
