Tutorials

Ever find yourself wondering just how someone managed to create an image using different effects?

Here are three simple tutorials we hope will encourage you to try something new.

The Hot Seat

A lifelong interest in landscape photography has led Eyal Oren to make a study of his adopted hometown of Marblehead, MA. As you can see, his dedication is paying off!

Africa!

Dgrinners Harryb, Pathfinder, and others joined Andy Williams and Marc Muench on Safari in East Africa recently. Here are some awesome threads to check out!

I posted some shots from this party a couple of weeks ago. I went back and looked again and thought this would be an OK B&W.

I use the channel mixer in Photoshop. I select the monocchrome box. I start out with setting the red in the low 50's, green in the teens and 40 or so for the blue. Sometimes after doing that I play with brightness and contrast. The shot was taken in very bright sunlight.

regards,

Gary

There wasn't much more to it. I did do a layer fill to get rid of the white - I thought it was too distracting. The B&W could use a little more cleanup -it was done very quickly this AM.
