Produce a sharp image with photo editor
I look at a lot of images at different sites and forums on the web (as I'm sure all of you
do as well). I see a a lot of images that appear obviously sharpened - if not
oversharpened - in my eyes anyway. I always thought that, when sharpening, your goal is to
produce a sharp image, without it being noticable. Yet, I notice it on many images, and
none of the commenters ever mention it. Any thoughts? Am I being overly critical?
RE:
Depends on where it is. Some people just don't see it. It actually requires a little
development of the eye. When you process your own images, several per day sometimes,
experiment with settings, etc. you know what oversharpening looks like, and you see it
without trying. Until you acquire that eye, it's not nearly as obvious as you might
think.
Also, regarding the broad lack of comments pertaining to oversharpening: if I commented on
every oversharpened image I saw, I'd start to feel like a broken record. Sometimes you
just gotta let it slide...
Elements 3 can do the crop marks as well.
Elements 3 is out since PSP kicks it's butt at the same price point.
I'm not a "power user" when it comes to graphics, so I'm pretty sure 90% of PS's
features would be wasted on me. I'm really leaning toward PSP. The things that still draw
me to PS are the online tutorials, which could probably help get me through PSP as well,
and I might be able to get a discounted version of PS through a college where my niece is
an art professor.
Still, I hate paying huge $$$ for software that I only use part of.
Silkstone, those plug-ins you linked to (Power Retouche, in another thread) look
fantastic. For the price of PS I'd hope not to need add-ons. PSP with that complete set is
still less than half the price of PS.
This week I'll download the trial version of PSP and that with your input will surely be
enough to allow me further time to procrastinate.
Black Background PHOTO EDITING
Okay, let me first say this...I'm new to PS CS2 and this whole digital picture
thing...with that said, here is my question.
I want to be able to take a photo of an object, such as a flower, and place it on a black
background so that only the object shows perfectly. I see lots of pictures like this and
want to try some of my own. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
again!
RE:
believe that many of those examples are taken with a matt black card held behind the
flower. Exposed to place the black as dark as possible (or using the black eyedropper in
photoshop levels) is probably the effect you're looking for.
Otherwise you've got a lot of careful masking to do.
