Photoshop

I'm not sure if everyone agrees that a thread about Photoshop is supposed to be in the photography thread, but I do.

How do I put an image up?

i posted an earlier thread on a photoshop issue simply becuase i knew that some of the people that post here use photoshop - and it worked, got the answer i needed right away

Well, for me, I don't use photoshop, because I believe in au naturale photography. That and the fact I can't use PS to save my life But seriously. Back on topic.

 

[Talie]

photoshop isn't just for faking photos you know LOL

and there are probably no professional photographers out there these days that don't touch up their photos, either digitally or by more traditional means

 

[MadeInOz]

I know, I said it deliberately tongue in cheek.

Is there a topic for Photoshop/Paintshop Pro.? You know for stuff other than photo manipulations?

 

[Buho]

Yes. DPReview's Retouching forum. Prepare yourself, you'll learn a LOT really fast.

I use PS for resizing and adding borders/watermarks to my photos. Either that, or photomanipulation. So much that it is easy to see that the photo is not real. Not that I'm against using color adjustments or anything, but I like the natural appeal.

 

[Talie]

yup, i can see you like the natural look by your avatar LOL

Photoshop is great for touching up pictures. I don't have the best top-end scanner, so it's nice to be able to modify things a bit to make them somewhat resemble the picture I'm actually holding in my hand.

And, it's also fun to do some cool effects with them. My signature is a good example of that.

I had to use it alot last year for one of my lessons. I like it, not sure how or where to get it but I miss it! You can make wallpaper, funny photos etc

 

[Talie]

it's an expensive program to buy, so if you're still at school, go to a store somewhere and grab an academic version while you can, it's SO much cheaper that way....

Photoshop is useful in a lot of ways and it's fun to muck about with things. I find it a pity in some ways though that people manipulate images a lot, and make a far better photograph than they can actually take, but I won't protest. I actually use it myself, but it's more to touch up colour contrast and dust kind of things.

i did a couple of restorations a while back, but didn't have the luxury of photoshop to do it

This is the first one i did....most frustrating to find out a couple of months later that my brother had a copy of the photo that was in perfect condition LOL. Took me about 10 hours, but as I said, I didn't have the luxury of photoshop!

 

[Jer]

Wow, that is beautifully done, you must be pretty proud, even though you got annoyed, lol.

Very true. I just bought it yesterday, because I realized that I only have one semester left before I won't be elegible for the student discount. I'm not a pro photographer by any means, so I don't really care to get involved with the dabates about it. I just like goofing around with it, like moving people's heads around.
