The Many Uses of Photoshop Editing

The purpose of Photoshop editing is for the photographer/Photoshop artist to input the final touches needed to construct the picture or image into how he wants it to come across.  He/She will consider the lighting, the contrast of colors, the shading, the emphasizing or de-emphasizing of certain minute details, and a host of other little things that must be taken into account in order to make the picture the best it can be.

Photoshop editing is full of incredibly great options that you can choose from to produce a certain type of effect that will provoke a certain type of feeling, thought, idea, and emotion. (more…)

Photoshop Weddings – Enhancing Wedding Pictures

Photoshop weddings – or rather, wedding pictures that are being subjected to the surgical, enhancing tools of Photoshop – are perhaps one of the most popular uses for Photoshop.  What better occasion for a Photoshop artist’s creative juices to work and blend out than in enhancing and tricking up pictures from weddings?  Weddings are perfect events for photographers to capture raw joyful, even comic expressions filled with romance and tender familial bonds.

Photoshop Basics Overview

For those who are not technologically savvy or inclined, it almost seems a drag to have to make use of a software as intimidating and complicated as Photoshop. It would be all too easy to justify why one should not have to use Photoshop, least of all need Photoshop: not wanting to go through all the trouble of fixing up pictures, the way the picture looks is already good as it is in its natural state, there are way too many steps and instructions to follow it could overwhelm me, etc. The all-too familiar built-in defense mechanism kicks in when one has to face something one is not interested in facing. But perhaps, for the un-inclined to anything technological, a friendly encouragement is issued to you: it’s not so bad to try something new, even if that new thing involves something you are not particularly interested in. Besides, one has to just open up one’s mind (even a little bit at a time) to see the nice things about Photoshop: the fun of spicing up an image, transforming the settings of the picture to make it look like something completely different, enhancing the beauty of a certain image, time-traveling effects, making beautiful posters, … just making something beautiful and worthwhile.

Photoshop Mishaps – Bloopers and Disasters

Photoshop mishaps are, believe it or not, more common than one would care to think or believe.  You would think that with Photoshop, each and every treated and tricked-up image would be perfectly enhanced and perfectly presented and perfectly treated; but the thing is, the person using Photoshop is just as human as you and I and is prone to overlook or miss out really important steps and details that need to be attended to.  The tools, instructions, and systems provided in Photoshop are well developed, but even Photoshop artists make mistakes, once in a while.  A lot of them may not have been aware of it at the time, but a miscalculation of the angling of a certain detail in the picture, or the accidental placing in of an object that has absolutely no business being in the picture greatly affects the whole outcome of the picture.  It is disastrous.  But on the other side of the coin, it is also often very hilarious.
