And this means for those who actually edit digital images, so if you do not
please leave off the comments.
I want to know what your favorite tools are when using Photoshop, and how do you
use it?
I would also like it if someone asks a question to answer it within the
forum.
i.e. using levels and colors (ctrl L, ctrl B) vs. curves (ctrl M) and why and
how you choose that option.
another example is clone stamp vs healing brush
I want this to be only about Photoshop, no third party extensions. |

filter. gives a nice soft glow to photos.
Duplicate the final layer, go to the filter menu, run high pass, invert the
layer (ctrl + shift + I) go to the layers menu, change lighting to soft light,
reduce layer exposure to approximately 30-40 %, erase around the eyes and mouth |

You can add subtle effects as well as go all out by setting transparency to a
small number or duplicating the layer once, twice, or more times to intensify
the effect. The layer masks will give you a quick way of isolating a
sub-selection. Best use is to brighten up the teeth and the whites of the eyes
by. Duplicate the layer and select the eyes and/or mouth. Make a layer mask and
use your favorite brightening tool (dodge/burn, a blend option, etc...) on the
layer. Change transparency if you want to blend it with the original. Not too
much brightening or you'll end up with glowing eyes. |

 ID: 282580 Posts: 54 | Date: 2009-05-27 10:16 I thought if you are beautiful and have a great skin. I like natural pictures
but hey, I'm no photographer. A photograher once enhanced my bust. I didn't
figure what he did at first but later, I got the gist. I prefer natural pics. I
think keeping it real makes it better. A beautiful skin, nice wears and a good
photographer can work wonders. |

| Date: 2009-05-27 10:28 I touch up a lot of scaned b/w film and both 35mm and 120 slides - so I use the
clone stamp to touch up the little specs of dust that may transfer over. |

never change a models eye colour or enhance your bust (I would have become a
plastic surgeon and make more $$$) - but there are some minor touch ups I would
make to shadows or as in my above post specs of dust. |

ID: 260629 Posts: 555 | Date: 2009-05-27 11:24 The Smart Objects feature is also handy to have if you want to keep the number
of layers and masks manageable while you are working on a complex project. |

 ID: 163923 Posts: 41 | Date: 2009-05-27 12:06 I do allot of Old Photo Retouching and Restoration work for people. Photoshop
Smudge Tool helps to weave cracks and tears together for me. Hours of working
closeup, back and forth, but the result is well worth it. Facial reconstruction
is the hardest.

Hey Pat Digital
eYe enhancement is used a lot--INTENSE COLORS just aren't found in everyday
bulbous irises. Suppose contacts aren't compatible to the model. So, for the
sake of the contemperary...Modern Times use it for marketability--There is an
article for proof of the "pixel puting", especially used within the Artistic
headshots & glamour or exotic makeup conceptual formats.
If it's just all about natural images.........That's becoming rarer in today's
time & technology, since the digital photo age has taken over...If the image is
what sells, then PERFECTION of Photoshopping & Airbrushing has left the Natural
aspects of subjects to non-human species more often than not.
And who needs bust enhancement, when a gal can either lose or gain weight or get
implants?
I can not say which tool is my favorite. I enjoy using whatever gets a final
concept complete......It all depends on the conceived Image Projection. My work
has landed Magazines & Advertizements.
The Dodge & Burn Tool can be handy for adding key lightening or minimal shade
cast enhancement.  |
