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!

Jimf - I like your guitar player - that is a nice picture

If you darken the bright windows behind him and his pants at the bottom of the image I think the viewer's eye will stay on his face and the guitar longer - I might edit it slightly like this.....

Good stuff Jim.

I think pathfinder has made some good suggestions concerning the second image.

Have you tried upping the saturation on the first or do you prefer it the way it is?

Those are just the raw images, didn't do anything to them at all. I agree that the first would probably do very well with increased saturation.

More wag. Less Bark.
I like the guitar player. I'd increase the color saturation and
maybe deal with the reflection by darkening it a tad.

You might also consider swapping the guitar for a banjo.

Hi Path, what method did you use to darken parts of this picture.. I'm assuming you selected the areas, but maybe you used another tool??? I cant tell..
