In this tutorial, we will be re-creating a piece I did called Extravagant Worship, We will start out by compositing images, then use some custom brushes to paint
Have you got someone special in your life, or is there someone you have your eye on? Either way when it comes to valentines day you can't beat a personalized hand made card for making a romantic statement. Let's learn here how to create a valentines card from scratch, in photoshop.
Photoshop offers lots of tools for automating selections, but two stand out from the pack: The first, Refine Edge, lets you modify your selection using five different parameters and preview the results in five different ways.
Photoshop CS5 brings a very welcome change to Refine Edge. Edge Detection will help with much more detailed selections such as hair or fur. Only in Photoshop CS5!
Today we will demonstrate how to retouch a stressed image in order to smooth out detail, while controlling the effect with specially crafted mask.
If using the High Pass filter and edge masks are old hat for you, watch as we turn the whole concept inside-out by using a reverse high-pass effect combined with an anti-edge mask.
The result is that you get controlled “un-sharpening†right where you need it—a useful effect you can apply to your own overly sharp photographs.
