On Friday I went to Chicago to sit at the feet and learn (with 600+ others) from Photoshop Guru, Scott Kelby. He is the nicest man. Funny too. Here I am (below) with him after waiting in line to ask him about noise reduction. What a fun conversation you say! And yes pictures do make noise! LOL
(Oh by the way, if you have a Palm Pre don’t expect it to take great indoor pictures in very low light even with the flash–see photo at left. Photoshop it you say? — This IS the photoshopped version. LOL)
Learned a lot but I won’t bore you with the details. Just hoping I can create even better pics for you all in the future.
The top photo is my first attempt with a fun technique we learned on Friday. Below is the before and after. If you’re into photoshop yourself, you will find the how-to video for this technique at this webpage http://www.scottkelby.com/blog/2010/archives/869 It’s fun to play with but my pics are not even close to the creator of the technique; Calvin Hollywood. Practice Practice Practice. I learned a lot more practical things too. Just not as fun to show off.
