92 SHOP TALK - Dec. 24, 2024
Questions Addressed:
1. We had a look a look at Mark’s image which he worked on – great job Mark! We gave him some feedback on fixing edges. Mark also sent us an article describing how to reduce t=your file size, you can find it here: https://design.tutsplus.com/articles/how-to-make-your-photoshop-file-size-smaller-best-tips-and-tricks--cms-34844
2. We had a look at Carol’s animal abstract image and collectively gave her feedback on how to improve it. Carol, we are looking forward to seeing your implementations next week!
3. Kim’s Image Stacking Tree. We saw how to make it look ‘less busy’. We selectively stacked, aligned and masked each tree separately. Then we worked on tones and saw why it is so important not to start with a B&W image in PS but work on a colour image.
4. We reviewed Cindy’s landscape ICMs. We analyzed which ones work and why and how to take a couple and keep working on them. Cindy, you too need to show us your progress.
5. We touched on removing halos and I demonstrated how to do that with cloning. Next week we will talk about removing halos with blending modes.
6. Lastly, we saw what to do when all you have is an iphone jpg to work with. How to increase it’s size in Photoshop and in Lightroom.
