Photoshopped Photography

Jazz Festival Poster

Another in the series from the Kelby training. In addition to some filters, like finding edges, this tutorial uses the pattern brush, which was new to me. I think there could be a lot of interesting uses of it.

Musicians

This is the first of (I hope) several examples from the Kelby Photoshop seminar I went to last week. This piece was done using adjustment layers, layer masks, a variety of image adjustments and a little painting.

House rendering/photo

A client asked me about doing a combination drawing/photo for some of her portfolio images. In trying to come up with a quick technique, I tried using the stylize > find edges filter. The result is close enough to what she wanted and only takes a few minutes per photo.

Digital painting

This tutorial show how to turn a photograph into a digital painting. I didn’t like the final result using the filter settings in the tutorial, so I started over and changed some of them as I went along. The length of time is very dependent on how careful you are with the final step of painting with the smudge tool. I learned a helpful tip in using layers too. When copying and pasting part of a layer and you need to make sure they are aligned, change the blend mode to difference, and all will be black when they are aligned.

Singing Apple

So I took my apple from last week, and made it sing!

The idea is from this tutorial, but I did some of the mouth stuff differently, and also had to add some headphones cut out of another image.

Combined Efforts

So, for the past 6 weeks or so, I’ve been using the daily designing challenge to work a little bit every day to digitally scrapbook the photos from our family trip to Alaska in Aug. 2008. I had been procrastinating because of the effort and mess created to just haul out all of my scrapping supplies and make sure I have the photos printed in the sizes I want ahead of time etc.

Colorize photo

A while ago I needed to colorize a black and white photo for something and it took me forever, so when I saw this tutorial, I thought it would make a good exercise. It really only took about 15 minutes. There is a little bit of black and white showing at the hairline, but when I need to do one for real, it won’t take much time to correct that.
