This is a great way to post a series of images that illustrate a lesson you’re talking or as an attachment to an email to a fellow student, teacher, friend or client with whom you want to discuss those images in detail. The big advantage is that you only have to click on one thing in order to open all the files into a tab that can stay open while you’re reading the lesson or the email. It’s also a big help when your instructor can do that. You don’t have to keep opening and closing window, trying to guess at which image is being referred to, or re-sizing windows. The images usually open in their own pane in a file browser. At first, they all fit within that window. Click on one of the images and the all increase to f
I have long loved making digital panoramas, but up until a couple of generations of Photoshop and Photoshop Elements ago, it had to be done just right or very painstakingly. Today, if you have the combination of the Lightroom 2.0 Beta and Photoshop CS3+, the most painstaking part of the operation is being careful to make yourself a good cuppa while you let the combination of the two programs do all the work
You don’t even need a tripod anymore, as long as you’re reasonably careful to keep your camera level and to pan in a reasonably straight line and to leave an approximately 1/3d overlap on both sides of each frame. It doesn’t even seem to matter too much if you forget and leave your camera in one of the auto exposure mo
I'm really interested to hear what other people think about Barack Obama's comments on GTA IV. It sounds very rational to me. There is some "think of the children" appeal, but no blame seems to be placed on the industry.I'll quote him here:
“I was just catching the news this morning about Grand Theft Auto, this video game, which is gonna break all records and make goo-gobs of money for whoever designed it.“Now, this isn’t intended for kids, although I promise you there are kids who are playing it, but these video games are raising our kids…“Across the board, middle-class, upper-class, working-class kids, they’re spending a huge amount of their time not on their studies, but on ente
Anytime you're faced with the challenge of shooting a type of subject matter that you're unfamiliar with, go try to find outstanding examples of that kind of work. Old issues of Sport Illustrated would be a great resource in this particular instance. Clip the things you really like and put sticky notes on the details and techniques you like the most. Then write some notes on what you think you should do to get another shot that would beat or equal this one. You'll be truly amazed at the results this will produce.
I had a tough time doing this when I first came to Costa Rica. Very few places sell English language magazines or the great German and Australian ones. Costa Rican photography tends to be very “commercial.” Very prof
Sometimes the best learning tool is not to look at other people's great work but to look at bad work and make sure you don't repeat those same mistakes. The Photoshop Disasters website is a perfect example. By looking at how other's have used (or misused) Photoshop you can definitely learn a lot. Here's the link to the Photoshop Disasters website. Watch it. Learn from it. And don't ever make your Photoshop work as obvious as some of this stuff is.
