    How to make picture less blury: Was Introduction

    Just a quick comment: I don't mean to be glib, but de-blurring a photo is a lot like trying to un-stir a cup of coffee after you have added milk to it - it's very hard to do. For example, remember the fiasco with the Hubble Space Telescope. There was an error in the design and the images it...

    High-end color matching head scratcher

    I'm out and about thru this evening. I'll try to respond to your comments early tomorrow morning (US East coast time). Tom M PS - I'm glad I did not misinterpret your description & u have already incorporated polarizes into your workflow. CU later.

    High-end color matching head scratcher

    PS - If the scenes have already been shot, and you can't use either of the above suggestions, then there is a work-around to the necessity of having gray card shots in my suggestion #2. Let me know and we can discuss this. Tom M

    High-end color matching head scratcher

    First, let me check that I understand your goal. If I understand the description of your project, your goal is to produce a photograph-like image in which diffuse reflections from the objects being photographed are suppresed, leaving only the specular reflections from them. If this is not...

    What procedure or techniques used ?

    As the previous folks suggested, the easiest way to get these sorts of effects is to use plugins. Basically, you can go "crazy" slathering on different effects until you get a look that you like. And, if you were systematic and wrote down what you did to get that look, you might be able to...

    After Effects Getting this effect?!

    Can you give us a link to the original? I ask because I would like to know the context for this photo. Specifically, it appears that the originator is pointing out the wetting angle / angle of contact between the beaded droplets and the surface they are resting on. If this is the case, this...

    Can someone do a double exposure effect for these pics?

    Great! Thank you. I'm sure some one will be along to help you shortly. Tom M PS - FWIW, The effect in the examnples wasn't at all what I initially envisioned when you said, "double exposure". That's why it's always good to be very specific / give examples / etc.

    Can someone do a double exposure effect for these pics?

    There are many different types of double exposure effect. Please find an example of one you like and post a link to it. Same for the fire effect you mentioned. Tom M

    Wedding Cake - Change Colour from Purple to Peach

    Dear MechanicalMan64 and other participants in this thread, there are two factors that make the OP's request fraught with difficulty, if not impossible: 1) The "goal" photo is obviously taken under tungsten (ie, very warm colored) illumination. If you don't believe this, bring the goal image...

    Uneven fading over old photo

    Started with the blue channel (like everyone else), but then: 1) ACR lowered clarity and increased contrast to compensate 2) Spotted the obvious larger point and line imperfections using the patch tool & healing brush (not spot healing brush) 3) Topaz detail. This made the biggest...

    Out of focus? please help

    PS - Two more strong recommendations: 1) You have a *very* nice, new camera. The body alone costs nearly $3000 USD. If you want to shoot professionally, read the manual for the camera and figure out how to set it up so that in addition to saving JPGs, it also saves a RAW data file for each...

    Out of focus? please help

    No, Sofi, you definitely did not hurt my feelings at all, and we will be glad to help you out in the future should you have more questions, but I just wanted to emphasize to you that if you don't know something, you should simply have asked. We would have been glad to have helped you or pointed...

    Can someone make this picture a silhouette

    A couple of things: 1) Some printers will reject an image as small as the one you posted (ie, 500 pixels horizontally), even if it is eventually going to be printed on an object as small as a koozie, so I enlarged Zero's very nice work to 2500 px wide. No printer should reject an image that...

    Can anyone help me make my picture look professional?

    I realized that the minor changes I made to Eggy's version (...thank you again, Eggy!) were so subtle that some folks might not be able to see what I did, so I decided to make a low resolution animated before-after GIF to make the my tweaks more obvious. My main goal was to try to simulate more...

    Out of focus? please help

    Hello Sofi - As per my request #(1), thank you for posting those two images. They did provide some more information about your sharpness problem, but unfortunately, once again, you did not provide all the information that I requested. Specifically, you ignored item #(2) on my list. Instead of...

    Can anyone help me make my picture look professional?

    Nice job, Eggy! Also, I totally agree with you about the hair. I hope you don't mind, but she's shooting an EOS-60D with on-camera flash, and I just can't stand the lighting that on-camera flash gives, so I did some minor dodging and burning on the very, very nice job that you did. I also...

    Out of focus? please help

    Also, in my previous email, I requested that the cropped area be the bodice of the dress. However, now that I see the eye, please send two cropped files: The first being an area around the bodice (as I requested earlier), and the second being an area around the eye. Also, do NOT strip any...

    Out of focus? please help

    As the last sentence in my previous email said, "NO SCREENSHOTS, PLEASE". Screenshots can be misleading when one is attempting to diagnose focus problems. AGAIN: Please send the actual cropped file if you want help. Tom M
