These will make the biggest Difference! Curves can be used to easily adjust Light Levels and Colors in your images.
In this episode we’re going over how to Light a bottle of beer. This is great for brushing up on your product photography skills.
Yesterday we showed you the photoshoot and how to light beer, and today we are showing you exactly what happens when you bring those photos into Photoshop.
Today we are completing this beer image in Photoshop. We cover the Lighting Effects as well as adding the splashes around the beer. The trick when doing this sort of Composite is to know how much masking needs to be done.
Dan Winters is a great photographer who produces gripping work. He has a way of pulling emotion out of his subjects that will leave you breathless. Today we look at one of his famous portraits of Tom Hanks, and try to reproduce it.
Today we go behind the scenes of our Photoshoot for the Banished Mermaid Pro tutorial. We ended up doing, what seems like, 3 individual photoshoots while we were all set up.
The advantage to using modeling lights as opposed to strobes is that you see exactly what you are going to get, there is not guesswork.
To create this fashion portrait we used a 3 Light setup and shot behind a pane of glass. To add a bit of Texture and interest to the glass we added baby oil (thicker than water) and lit it from behind.
One of the largest challenges we had to overcome to bring this concept to life was to design and build the main character. Being a photographer, this did not come entirely naturally to me, so I had to pay extra attention to my goals as a creator.
When you increase your ISO on a digital camera, your processor amplifies the signal it receives from the sensor to make it stronger, much like an amplifier on a stereo, it makes a quiet signal much louder.
For adding Light rays to your image, make sure you first have an image that will properly support light coming through. You want to have an image that is either lit from the back or from the side.
This shoot was inspired by Rankin’s amazing series of lips holding things like flowers. I have always thought scarab beetles were beautiful and this was the perfect opportunity to feature them in a photo.
In order to make the existing Highlights in this image stand out even more, first we make the Lights and Midtones of the image darker using a Levels Adjustment Layer.
We’ll be editing Jason’s image and showing you how to make your subject stand out better from the Background by using some simple Coloring techniques.
In this behind the scenes video you will learn how to set up lighting for a full length portrait as well as a headshot.
It can be hard to pump up the Colors in a photograph without making it look unnatural. In RGB mode, changing your Colors in Curves will also produce changes in Brightness and Exposure. To fix this, we can easily switch to LAB Mode.
