Tagged as: Photoshop, photoshop face effects, Tutorial This Isn't Your Mother's Tango: Katerina Bodrunova Makes a Splash Dancing a proper tango is hard enough on land, but these dancers make it look effortless, despite the fact that they are fully submerged. Though I was not able to find out how Russian photographer Katerina Bodrunova pulled off these remarkable images, the emphasis should be on the beauty of the series, rather than the clever logistics behind her method. Bordunova is reportedly a self-taught photographer whose bio states that she seeks to “deft conventional physics and show [my] subjects as weightless objects with an ability to transcend space and time.” Even though they are weightless in the water, the dancers must remain buoyant long enough to strike a pose, and the intensity seen in their faces and within the language of their perfectly angled bodies is striking. Since 2009, Bodrunova has garnered an impressive list of international publications and awards for her work. Share With Your Friends

Making Complex Selections in Photoshop - DesignFestival » For Web Design Trends Making precise selections in Photoshop is an essential skill that every designer needs. As a print designer, you will find yourself using selections to remove objects from their background to place within ads. As a web designer, you might extract an image and place it on a website with no background. If you are a photographer, you might make a selection to remove blemishes or other unwanted features from an image. So, what do you do when you have something that is extremely difficult to select with normal selection tools? Even with the masking and channels, you can’t make a precise selection consistently. You can try the quick selection tool, which does a great job of making a selection of the bulk of the image, but making a more refined selection is difficult with this method. In comes Refine Mask to the rescue. The Refine Mask menu is one of the best tools for refining your selection. We can fix this by using the Smart Radius Slider. This is called fringe.
How to Make a Business Card in Five Easy Steps Tutorials June 15, 2012 Branding and identity design junkies, rejoice!

Photoshop CS4: A Picture Worth a Thousand Words I love Photoshop techniques that offer all kinds of possibilities for experimentation—and the following tutorial is a perfect example of one of those techniques. In this issue, we’re going to take a portrait and replace the person’s image with text (think 2009 Grammy posters). Pick a portrait that offers good contrast—a photo that’s very dramatic and dark probably won’t work as well. I’ve had the best success with straight-on head and shoulder shots, but again, feel free to experiment with all types of photos. Create a new document (File>New) in a size that’s smaller than your photo: the specifics don’t really matter. Switch back to the photograph. Then, press Command-J (PC: Ctrl-J) to copy the selected pixels onto a new layer. Go back to the Select menu and choose Color Range again. Click the Eye icon next to the Background layer in the Layers panel to hide that layer from view. Click the Create a New Layer icon at the bottom of the Layers panel.
Photoshop Tutorial: Learn Basic Photo Editing to Enhance Colours/Light/Contrast Hi everyone! Here is a tutorial I've been working on for anyone that is new to photo editing. I wanted to show you two very easy ways to dramatically enhance the colours, contrast and light balance in your photos. I work in Photoshop, but I think that the methods I show would be fairly similar in other photo editing software. So, if you look at the image above, you can see how much you can improve photos that come out a bit dull and dark, but this is also a great way to make good shots stand out even more! I am going to use this photo to show you the technique. The first thing I always do with a new photo is to adjust the Levels. When you have opened the Levels window you'll see this black "mountain". Click OK. Now we are going to enhance the contrast further and make the colours really pop. Now you're gonna copy the Background layer, do that by grabbing hold of it and dragging it to the "Create a new layer" icon (bottom right of your layers panel). I hope you enjoyed this tutorial!
