books

Posted 07-27-2009 at 05:37 AM by Nasturtium (Ramble on)

books I have on how to learn to use Photoshop;

Scott Kelby's 7-point system. This was the only one I had heard of so I started with it. Probably not the best book for beginning Photoshoppers but it does teach you a workflow for improving photographs. It's heavily into ACR so keep that in mind. Since what I really want to do is make fantasy/surreal pictures this was a disappointment.

I wish I had started with Adobe Classroom in a Book. I bought it used off of Amazon...

Landscapes

I've been messing around with trying to produce a pleasing digitally painted landscape.

How to do this in a high key dreamy style has eluded me.

At least I live in a part of the world that has no shortage of woods/meadows for me to photograph and then Photoshop.

PS& brush names / Edit>Fade command

Posted 07-10-2009 at 06:19 AM by Nasturtium (Ramble on)

I guess this is the danger of being self taught. I just realized that PS brushes have NAMES! That sure makes painting with them easier than just using the thumbnails. lol

Also the Edit>Fade command seems to work on all filters...including Plug-Ins! ^5 :-) This is really cool. Especially with the Medhi kaleidoscope filter. Attached is a foxglove picture manipulated in such a way.
