Photoshop Techniques

[CGYMike]

Combinations of tools allow you to take a very simple picture and enhance your subject. They do not necessarily have to be in the centre of the frame in order to create a dramatic photograph.

By removing colour or adding colour to certain areas you can also give pictures scale or draw someone's eye to where you want them to go, without them even knowing it.

This is an "Out Of Bounds" effect...it combines framing the same picture twice and highlighting the part of the picture you want to be "out of bounds". This is the first time I have tried this effect. It's kinda cool and I can see that it might have some potential to create some interesting pictures in the future

Those look awesome!!!

A little fun with Charlee tonight and her brand new photo set...great pics Charlee :) Here a few more photoshop techniques you can try at home...Posterizing, Picture Stacking, and the Orton Effect with Depth of Field.

Try these on your own with photoshop or other photo software you can access from home. There are lots of free downloads out there on the internet and lots with free trials too... It's a great way to have fun and bring out your creative side :)

That's good, Golf. I would do Darla Crane even if she never paid me.

[CGYMike]

I have no clue how you did that...cool lil Gif ( I think) :)

[stickyvicky]

Wow! Amazing great stuff in this thread! I should visit here more often!

[CGYMike]

WOW! Angelina Jolie. I don't even know how you would improve on perfection but I tried a couple of tweeks. Her lips are Hall of Fame so I thought I'd give them their own wing in the museum :)

Here is a little depth of field and enhancement on her eyes and lips. It's hard to mess with a perfect picture...maybe I shouldn't have tried...damn she's hot :)

[CGYMike]

What can I say? I totally love Black and White Photography. How hot can you make a girls lips in a picture? ...just add a strawberry and a seductive pose, thats how :)

[WalterB]

...and depicting a female tongue protruding from said lips and licking the tip of said strawberry doesn't really hurt anything.

Vicky's new photoset (which is awesome by the way) gave me a chance to try a couple cool techniques. Try these at home of your fav subject.

I gotta tell ya, I have a lot of time on my hands this month and what better to fill my time than enjoy looking at the beautiful girls of the VNA. Here's an amazing pic of Vicky with Diamond Foxx from not too long ago. I just love the look in Vicky's eyes. She really knows how to melt a camera lens.

photoshop uses some depth of field and portrait layering to produce a pastel look...hope you like it
