Photo Editing With Online Photo Effects

Posted by admin in photo editing | Comments Off

You have these great photos that you love looking at but there is something missing right? Or maybe you just want to give the picture a little something extra, make it more unique. Well there is a very simple way to do that and you can do it from the comfort of your own home using your home computer, the internet and photo effects online.

Photo effects online requires no knowledge of photo editing software and can be used to add special effects to any photo. The easy to use online tools allows you to change the way a person or the scenery looks in a picture.

You can modify your pictures with a wide range of effects to use from borders, photo effects, black and white photography and you can make them into greeting cards, collages or interesting profile pictures. It’s easy to use and will put an exciting twist on any old photos. I personally prefer preparing a collage with all the images as it gives a perfect blend of your tastes, appearance and a chance to show-off our creativity.

All you need is a high quality photo in the required specs, usually .jpg, .png or .gif, (these are the common formats for your images, I prefer Gif format for going online) and you are ready to go. If your photo is not in the specified format, there are services available online to change it to the required format. Upload the photo you would like to modify and with a few easy steps you could be the proud owner of an original and fun new photo. With a wide variety of effects the only difficulty you will have is choosing which one to apply.

Adding a funky border or making pictures look old fashioned is easy with this type of web tools. Ever wanted your face on the cover of a magazine? No problem with these cool photo effects. The modified photos can be used to create personalized greeting cards for friends and family with themes for good luck, get well, birthday and Christmas cards. Make a collage of all your favorite photos as a display in your home or as a gift for someone close to you.

Furthermore, photos with applied effects can be used as profile pictures for social sharing sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Some sites even feature a tool with full Facebook integration to make life so much easier for you. Enhanced photos can now be downloaded and kept on your hard drive or a compact disk to keep forever. I hope this article has given some idea about how to transform your pictures, so that you and others will enjoy it.

Adobe Photoshop CS2 Photoshop Effects That Can Be Executed to Produce Your Own Graphics Quickly

July 1st, 2011

Posted by admin in photoshop | Comments Off

Ghosting is perfect for pictures involving subjects in motion, taken when the camera and the background is stable (not moving) and the subjects move through, around, or across the frame. I have had great success using this effect when photographing people moving about an historic site or children as they scamper over rocks. I have also used this effect for weddings and sports shoots. Example: In one wedding photograph, the groom stood still at the bottom of stone steps to an historic dwelling, his hand extended towards his bride, who slowly moved down the steps toward her groom. My six deliberate ‘clicks’ of the shutter created an airy, surreal picture of the wedding couple. Depending on the speed of the moving subjects, the shutter can be held down in rapid fire mode or each exposure can be meticulously choreographed: 1) each subject deliberately positioned in the frame, 2) one ‘click’ of the shutter, and 3) repeat steps 1 and 2 to the total number of multiple exposures you set in your camera.

There are several advantages of using any of the effects for the edges on real images. One is that it reduces interference between steps or detail and the haloes from other, nearby steps. Another thing, the light or dark haloes make other features of the image stand out better from the background. Start doing this effect on your images using Photoshop by following several procedures: 1st step is duplicate the layer holding the image; 2nd step – apply the conventional unsharp mask; 3rd step – set the layer blending mode to “Darken” or “Lighten”.

Photoshop Brush Palette is collection of all Brush Shape Presets that allow you to create new brush, load, save or modify brush size, brush shape and brush dynamic in one single palette. The primary advantage of the Brushes palette is that you can define your own brush shapes and adjust various exciting dynamics. Whether you’re using a mouse or a pen and tablet, every tool behaves differently based on the size and shape of your cursor (the brush tip), and brush tips come in many different styles (called brush shapes, or typically just brushes). A big, round brush paints in broad strokes; a small, elliptical brush paints in thin, hairline strokes. Of course, there’s much more going on in Photoshop than just big, small, round, or elliptical.

You may be looking at a photo you took on your last vacation of the crystal blue waters on the ocean, but all Photoshop sees is a gray ocean. Did you manage to snap a picture of a rainbow arching across the sky after a summer evening storm? Photoshop sees it as a beautiful assortment of shades of gray. And that famous pot of gold at the end of it? To Photoshop, it’s a big ol’ pot of gray. Don’t feel sorry for Photoshop though. It’s perfectly happy in its colorless world. In fact, the only reason it shows us our images in color at all is because we as human beings expect to see them in color. We wouldn’t know what to think if everything was appearing in black and white. But not Photoshop. To it, life just couldn’t be sweeter than in black, white and gray.

Creating actions is fun and easy. All you have to have is a bunch of pictures and then record them all together, start by clicking on Record and the button below will turn red. Any action you perform in Photoshop will be recorded. With the Record mode on, start editing your photo. In our case, lets resize the image. Choose Image -> Image Size, enter 450 for width (or any other sizes), click Ok. Click on the record button to turn the Record mode off. Testing the action Now that you have an action recorded, lets open up another image that needs to be resize. This time, we’ll just hit the shortcut key Shift F2, or clicking on the Play selection button. You should be able to resize in just one click. To exercise the usage of Photoshop Actions, you can try recording more complex actions. Mastering actions will help you perform alot of routine Photoshop tasks in shorter time. Have fun.

New features in Photoshop CS2 make it easier to composite images in multiple layers. In earlier versions it was necessary to select a required layer in the Layers palette. But now it’s possible to select multiple layers by using a marquee tool. The Show Transform Controls feature allows objects to be reshaped faster than ever before, and it works across multiple layers. Smart Guides is another innovation that makes it easier to align objects, even if they’re on different layers. People who learn on their own sometimes discover the best way to do things, but usually they discover the wrong way to do things, which causes recurring frustration and limits their ability to go on learning new things. The time and money you invest today in your Photoshop training will reward you in ways that you can’t even begin to imagine.

There is only two things you have too know about the ExtendScript Toolkit program right now: Select target application, ExtendScript must know which application you are writing the script for. In the top left dropdown menu select Adobe Photoshop CS2 and if asked if you want top start it choose yes. Running script, to run a script you have written you press the button that looks like a play button. Reference documents All objects have different properties that can be set and methods that can be executed and right now you probably don’t know any of these, this is where the reference documents come in. The reference document for JavaScript contains information about all objects available in your scripts. Photoshop For Newbie Tips

5 Photoshop Effects that can be added to any 3d visualisation Models

June 15th, 2011

Posted by Howard Moreno in photoshop | Comments Off

Naturally there are an infinite range of effects and post-processing techniques you can apply to your 3D visualisation images and every artist/designer has their own methods of creating these. This list has been limited to 5 and selected to give a range of effects that I personally use more frequently and that are reasonably compatible with each other.

Before adding any effects to the 3D image, i recommend that you make a duplicate of the original image. This lets you alter and add effects to the image but you can always relate back to the original photo, this is also called a ‘non-destructive’ image. The best ways to create a ‘non-destructive’ image is to duplicate the original image by clicking ‘Ctrl + J’ and you can also use adjustment layers, either option works both ways.

Ok, now on to the effects:

1. Increased contrast. For me the simplest way to achieve this is using levels (‘Ctrl + L’ or ‘Cmd + L’ on a Mac). Using the black, grey and white pointers click and drag these around to alter the percentage of the image in each tonal range (black pointer for shadows, grey pointer for mid tones and the white pointer for highlights). A good all round setting that I have found is to pull both the black and white pointers in to the inside edge of the numerical value box below each respective pointer; The numerical value below the black pointer should be around 30 and the numerical number under the white pointer around 223. This is a quick way to add punch to your 3D visualisation images.

2. Colour Balance. To see the colour balance options click Ctrl + B.If you scroll to the bottom of the option box there are three radio buttons, by adjusting these you are able to chose which tonal range to change – Shadows – Mid Tone – Highlights. Click on each of these to either increase or decrease the balance of the colour.

3. Adding a vignette. Navigate to Filter – Distortion – Lens Correction. A new dialogue box appears, quite simply click and drag the Vignette slider until you are happy. Sliding to the right creates a bright vignette, sliding to the left creates a subtle shadow effect around the frame of your image, useful for drawing the viewer into the focal point of your image.

4. Adding Depth. This effect will give depth to the image and draw focus to a certain area of the 3D image. To do this click on ‘channels palette’ and select new ‘channel’. Remember to check that you have your RGB channel is visible, this will allow you to see what your doing. Use the gradient fill tool to add a preferred gradient, redial/reflective. You need to right click on the paint bucket to toggle it on or off to enable this effect. Now click Filter – Blur – Lens Blur, select Alpha 1 from the drop down box. You may have to click the Invert check box if the area you want to work on is blurred. By adjusting the Radius & Blur Focal Distance sliders to get the outcome you were looking for.

5. High Dynamic Range – HDR. To create an illusion of HDR to your 3D image these steps work. To start make a duplicate of the original image, rename it ‘Black & White’ and make this layer greyscale by pressing Ctrl – Shift- U. This has to be inverted by pressing Ctrl – I and set the blending technique to Overlay. Go to Filter – Blur – Gaussian Blur. Increase the amount until you are happy with the slight glow at the edges of the image. If you go back to the original image, duplicate it again and name it Linear Light. This has to be dragged to the top of your layer stack and the technique has to be changed to Linear Light, if you set the opacity between 10-40%, to whichever looks best.

As with any creative image production process, the final outcome differs drastically from project to project. Various factors come into play; is the project a personal piece created for fun, a commercial piece with strict brief guidelines, is the final output for print or screen based media, and numerous other deliverables that will determine a specific style treatment or approach to your work. The above effects and techniques allow you to experiment and add a little more impact and post-processing punch to your 3D Visualisation images. Just remember to give things context and reason, and not just to apply an effect for effects sake.
