uncle eddy Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Come on lets see more, i enjoy the comments, tips and advice that people give but i also like to look at others work, i enjoy the work that is au naturel, you know...without the photoshop and various other progs that are available, having said that, i am not sure why you would use photoshop for anything other than cropping or perhaps to enhance colours, maybe i could be enlightened anyhows heres a couple more from me, you may recognise them. 195 by erb..., on Flickr, hmmm dark, photoshop? lol 161 by erb..., on Flickr, not sure about buildings...

Agent Orange Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I am in agreement with the whole editing process. As for your pics, I think the first you could do with zooming in on the building, to get more detail. Keem em coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommythecat Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Different strokes and all that! A lot of photoshop tools are equivalent to age-old darkroom techniques though - dodging and burning to selectively lighten and darken parts of a picture for example are nothing new. That said, I'm one of those that likes to take it a bit further..

7hills Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Tom they are outstanding! some of the best manipulated work I have seen in ages. I've always wanted to push the boundaries with PS but never know where to start? Great work. Different strokes and all that!

chrisp7091 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Tom they are outstanding! some of the best manipulated work I have seen in ages. I've always wanted to push the boundaries with PS but never know where to start? Great work. I agree. Excellent work. Do you mind me asking how long you spend working on the images? I was also wondering where you get all the individual elemnts for your images from. The background wall from the image of the guy in the chair, or the spiral staircase in the image from your photostream, for example. Where do you find the original photogrpahic source material?

tommythecat Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Ta! Time varies, but probably between half and hour and five hours+ depending on how complex they are; easy to spend a lot of time messing around with different ideas. Would probably be a lot quicker to re-do if you've got everything planned out. For source material it's good to just take a lot of stock photos for textures - skies, walls, pavements etc that you can use for composites. The stairs were taken in the Vatican museum - it's a double helix staircase (ie different stairs to go up and down). Don't have the original online but took this one a couple of seconds before or after (same bloke is on it, taking a picture - cloned the other ppl out).

A lot of it's simpler than it looks once you get your head around using layers and layer masks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
