Most Photoshop images are going to be in 8 bit pixel mode or 16 bit pixel mode. In a Photoshop image, a pixel is a small square of digital information. The pixels are laid out in a mathematical grid and so do not deteriorate when copied - the mathematical pattern is just reconstructed. So what does this mean in terms of image size and quality.
New images will appear on this page, when they feel in the mood, which will be often. They will all have been given some degree of digital treatment. Some images will come with comments, some not.

In this Adobe Photoshop tutorial on digital photo editing, we're going to learn how incredibly easy it is to give someone a digital nose job (not that anyone we know would need it, of course!). This photo editing technique is so simple and easy, you'll be tempted to use it on photos of people who honestly don't need it. Or at least, that's what you can tell them when they ask you why you made their nose smaller. You simply had to because it was so much fun and so easy to do!

Step 6: Press Ctrl-J to duplicate this layer. We have to do this step because we want to preserve the black areas (at the center of your photo) from being affected by the next filter effect
This method is commonly used to emphasize something you want on a photo by making it more contrastive with the background. The model now looks lovely and lively!
Sure, there are a few things you can do before you press the shutter to improve your photos, but you might be surprised to find out what you can do in the digital darkroom once the lens cap has gone back on.
After recently grumbling about the smoggy haze in some of my photos from Beijing, Gary B. sent me a tip from Luminous Landscape about how to tweak contrast to make subtle details pop. The original article was geared to making subtle highlights like shadows standout for printed photos, but it seems to work for improving the look of images taken on a couple hazy mornings in China. The trick involves using some kind of Unsharp Mask filter, which as defined by the Photoshop Elements help file is a technique for giving the illusion of greater detail in an image (sharpness) by increasing the contrast between the light and dark areas of the image. Photoshop, Photoshop Elements and Paint Shop Pro all have an Unsharp Mask built in. I haven't found a good freeware plugin solution for this particular technique if you happen to use some other tool.
From time to time, the technology of digital cameras can introduce unwanted artifacts. One type of artifact that you can fix with Photoshop is an excessive amount of colour noise or colour blooming. You'll most likely see this problem when shooting with a high ISO setting (typically over 400 ISO) or with a low-end digital camera (cell phone cameras). The added colour artifacting doesn't represent the true colour of an image. I call this phenomenon �The Colour Gremlins�. Left alone to live in your digital file, they can play havoc whenever you try to use Curves or employ any other colour manipulation method.

The �Color Fill 1? layer that we created in the previous steps has a layer mask on it, which allows parts of the layer (ie, the colour) to be hidden or shown at will. You do this using the paint brush tool and �painting� the mask on. White paint makes the layer visible, black paint makes it invisible.
... Create a layer by double clicking on the photo layer. Mask out the bottle (I'm not showing how to do this, because there are a lot of tutorials on the web for that), and create a black filled layer below the bottle layer. (left it invisible for the easier understanding of this step)...

The article given here was written for Adobe Photoshop 5,6,7,CS, and Adobe Photoshop Elements 2 and 3. Most photographers who are serious about improving their portrait taking skills have realized that a beautiful background can greatly enhance their photographs. Muslins are a very popular choice among professionals. However, they can get very costly at several hundred dollars each. For the professional who is well established, this may not seem too much, but for the hobbyist, this may be a stretch. A less costly alternative is a digital background. With a digital background, one can get the look and feel of a professional looking portrait without the additional cost of muslin. Many Photography websites also sell digital backgrounds on cd. In some cases�as low as $15.00 dollars for an assorted collection. As with anything else�you usually get what you pay for. Some of these pre-made digital backgrounds are not worth the cd they're printed on, but some of them are very beautifully made. Even so, you may be wondering how YOU can make your very own digital background. That being said, the following information will help guide you along the way. Okay, let's create a digital backdrop using Adobe Elements 2.0. We will create an 8x10 300dpi (dpi = dots per inch or ppi = pixels per inch) digital backdrop. For printing purposes, 300dpi is strongly recommended for a high quality print. This will also create a large file approximately 20.6megs. Having a fast processor (Pentium 4 or Athlon XP) and at least 256megs of ram will definitely help. Also having your screen resolution on your monitor set to its highest setting 24 or 32bit will give the best results. Okay let's begin! If you haven't already opened Photoshop Elements, do so now. 1. Click on File 2. Make a copy of the background layer you just created by pressing Control-J on your keyboard. If you look at the bottom right corner of your monitor, you should see an exact copy of your background layer named layer 1. 3. Select the �foreground� color for your background by clicking on the foreground square on your toolbar� the black one. (Bottom left) 4. The Color Picker window should now be open. Select a light red by clicking on the top right corner of the color palette. Click ok. 5. Now select the �background� color by clicking on the background square on your toolbar� the white one. (Bottom right) 6. The Color Picker window should open again. Select a darker red by clicking halfway below the lighter red you previ...

Depth of Field (DOF) is that amount of your shot that will be in focus. Large depth of field means that most of your image will be in focus whether it's close to your camera or far away (like the picture to the left where both the foreground and background are largely in focus - taken with an aperture of f/22).
Really, a good way to combat the problem in low light you can try using a higher ISO. Your ISO simply means the amount of sensitivity of light falling on your sensor. For example take traditional photography as a comparison to digital photography. Traditional photography ISO will be film sensitivity. (ISO in traditional terms works with film speed as well.)
Your camera is actually a garage and the aperture is the roll-up garage door.
Digital photography has a lot of fantastic opportunities. When I say �opportunities� I mean artistic opportunities. You see succeeding in digital photography goes way beyond just knowing how to take a digital photograph in the technical sense. You see need artistic ability and knowledge too. Digital Photography, if applied artistically, can open up the doors of creativity for many, many years to come.
In Digital Photography ISO measures the sensitivity of the image sensor. The same principles apply as in film photography - the lower the number the less sensitive your camera is to light and the finer the grain. Higher ISO settings are generally used in darker situations to get faster shutter speeds (for example an indoor sports event when you want to freeze the action in lower light) - however the cost is noisier shots. I'll illustrate this below with two elargements of shots that I just took - the one on the left is taken at 100 ISO and the one of the right at 3200 ISO (click to enlarge to see the full effect).
In film photography it was the length of time that the film was exposed to the scene you're photographing and similarly in digital photography shutter speed is the length of time that your image sensor 'sees' the scene you're attempting to capture.
One of those smaller techniques that a number of readers of DPS have been writing to me about recently is the use of shutter release cables (or remote shutter release devices).
Take a Control Shot - Before you start experimenting - switch your camera to auto mode, make sure your flash is turned off and take a shot of the waterfall. As you do - take notice of the exposure that the camera sets. Your camera will almost certainly choose an exposure that freezes the water somewhat. This photo will be a bit of a reference point to compare your shots to later and to use as a basis for your exposures.
My guess is that we???re afraid. Afraid of the learning curve and afraid that the quality just isn???t there unless we spend an ungodly amount of our hard earned cash on some scary looking gigantic array of confusing and awkward, let alone ???how am I going to learn how to use this stuff??? equipment.

What are the guidelines? When you're outside on a nice sunny day, shoot ISO 200. Cloudy days and bright indoor locations should use ISO 400, and darker locations should go with an ISO 800 film or faster, depending on what you're dealing with.
Part 1 ? Product Shot Photography ? Why you should use a light tent and what the difference is between using a light tent versus no tent or using Flash.
I will try not to be too technical, but I think if one is going to invest several hundred dollars into a digital camera he or she can devote 15-20 minutes to "investigation" for better understanding of technical differences and camera opportunities and (even more important) for better understanding his or her needs.
As we all know, cameras come in various format sizes???for example, film cameras of large, medium, 35mm, and APS formats, and, more recently, a number of digital cameras with varying sensor sizes. The 35mm full frame camera has been the most popular camera type and typically is used as the reference point. Let???s take an example and visualize what the scene would look like when viewed through a 100mm lens on a 35mm camera. (Please see Figures 1, 2, and 3.)
There are a lot of wonderful aspects to digital photography and getting close up digital photos are one of them. When I say 'close up' I am talking about taking a digital photo with a very short depth of field (DOF). To understand how to get suburb results for close up digital photography I?ll first explain some of the photography terms so you can learn faster.

If you're shooting a portrait or close up where the subject fills the frame completely and your shooting in bright sunlight where the person is parlay back-lit, the answer is yes.
There was this guy who owns a state-of-the-art, high-end digital SLR. Since it was my first time to meet him, I initially thought that he could be a photographer, hobbyist or by profession, when he brandished the hi-tech gear. This initial impression only lasted until I saw one of his shots ? man, there was no composition! What waste of money ? unless of course, he manages to get acquainted with photography, even the basics at the least. Otherwise, the digicam ends up as the display instead of it churning out images for display.

Having lost count of the number of people who have asked me: "have you gone digital?" I am always left wondering why it's such a much-asked question. The camera is only a tool in which a photographer creates an image. His personal ability to create a unique image remains the same.
