    How to make text look like it has been painted on a street sign/slight 3rd

    I can understand the confusion. I don't know about your monitor, but when I click on the New Posts link in the top left corner of my 1680x1050 monitor, the subject reads as How to make text look like it has been painted on a street instead of How to make text look like it has been painted on a...

    How To Sharpen Up A Portrait Photograph?

    iDad, what did you add the kind of distortion that photographers actually want to avoid by shooting with a 90mm lens or more, instead of using a 50mm that creates this kind of distortion?

    How To Sharpen Up A Portrait Photograph?

    A few more comments abrogrard: if you want to sharpen an image of this quality, then try to focus on those areas where you can expect maximum visual gain, like tiny shadows in mouth, nostrils, near eyes and areas like that, do not sharpen the complete image. In this image I would avoid...

    How To Sharpen Up A Portrait Photograph?

    No tool is going to fix the lack of sharpness in this image, it's just too blurry and both the resolution and quality are simply too low. In such cases I always try to focus on contrast to give the illusion of sharpening. Use for example levels and adjust the black point until it meets the...

    It's a very depressing environment in which you placed the dog, I would never make such an image for a young girl. Anyway, just my 2 cents, please don't take it personal.

    3D fruit bowl

    So you took the time to register, you took the time to dig up an 8 year old thread when my youngest was still walking in diapers and you took the time to comment with "wooooooow , so cool", regardless the fact that he image link is dead and probably died already many years ago?

    1. The grass was in the original: http://www.thewallpapers.org/photo/43091/nature-meadow-field.jpg 2. I ignored the lighting (too time consuming to find the proper image and adjust the lighting), it's just a quick take to visualize a concept.

    I'm not so fond of the extreme tight crop, I tend to avoid that in my photographs unless it really serves the goals I have with my shot. Here's a good example of someone who makes good use of a (more extreme) tight crop to create tension:

    How do I get this soft light effect on my photos?

    Paul's method works too, but if you want more control, then you can't do without levels or curves, because unlike blended white layers, it gives individual control over both white and black point. This is how you can achieve the same in curves (which allows even more control than levels):

    How do I get this soft light effect on my photos?

    The problem with that is that it gives limited control over the black point, since it can only be changed by changing the light point. Change the opacity of your white layer while keeping an eye on your histogram and you'll see see what I mean Paul.

    How do I get this soft light effect on my photos?

    I found the original of the woman in the back bra: http://themingohunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/tumblr_mrvu8qRfFp1r62m2no1_500.jpg This comes close to what you want (experiment with the original): 1. Create a Levels Adjustment Layer 2. Slide black and white sliders marked in red...
