    I'll keep that in mind Tom thanks for the advice. I've been meaning to purchase a reflector or two. Any advice to give regarding size, shape and choice of color for one just starting out in this area? Also should I go for an expensive (quality brand) directly or go budget just to learn the...

    That's what I thought. Well I'm guessing it's a shadow cast from the upper part of the muscle. I lit the scene using the sundown as main light and the SB-900 as a second. Dialed down to -2 and zoomed to 200mm I think. Can this be what's causing it in your opinion? Tried to make a rough...

    Photography Starter Question.

    On the right as well? Kinda hard for me to see. (Using my phone here). Is it a lens distortion, Fisheye effect? Sorry for hogging your thread a little Ink. Sent from my GT-I9300 using tapatalk.

    I'm not sure I understand where you mean Tom. Is it the shadows cast from the deltoid you mean perhaps? Care to ring it in since its hard to see on my phone. I had access to a laptop yesterday but today I'm reduced to this. Sent from my GT-I9300 using tapatalk.

    Photography Starter Question.

    Great shot Ink. I like the colors and detail. I get a feeling that the building leans a bit to the left side of of the pic and that kinda bugs me. Just my opinion I still like the shot. Where in the world is it?

    Nope I don't mind that's why I'm here in fact. :) I like your version too, should probably start a little earlier to achive that effect "In Camera" so too speak. Oh and the little "antenna" really had to go, I can see that now. Since you played with it I might as well reveal my secret early.

    Photoshop Gurus New Look

    Sorry Clare I'm vague at best as always. I just switched to dark and loved it straight away. I've had no problem with contrast, borders or the like. Only problem I had was the really blinding white. I tried iExplorer, Firefox, Chrome and Opera and couldn't reproduce your problem, Something on...

    What is the best method to remove the backgrounds of the attached images.

    Zoe, I think you got a really great result using whatever method you used, well done. When I use the brush technique I do as follows. 1) Make a copy of the background layer. 2) Create a new layer and fill that with a color that really sticks out. (Greenish in my example, this is just so I...

    Zoe that looks great! Is it the soft edges that your worried about?

    What is the best method to remove the backgrounds of the attached images.

    That's a nice method too. Masking using channels (RGB) is another method to try, Could probably work with the one I did with the brush. But pen, brush and layermasks will get you far zoe.

    What is the best method to remove the backgrounds of the attached images.

    Hi zoe. I clumsely (3min) removed the background just using a brush set to hardness 80% and a layer mask, I would however recommend you to put down a little more time. But there's loads of diffrent methods to do achive the same result.

    Photos & Questions

    Hi Tom. Well my brain might have been a bit fuzzy last night I have to admit. Got a bit late that's all. What I was referring to was the boarders between the photos. I got a feeling that they weren't evenly spaced and I couldn't easily achieve that in LR. Was hoping someone could tell me if...

    Lightroom 5 and CS5 RAW Images

    Okay does the above work for you? I may have been a bit loose in my explanation, so just to clarify. Open Lightroom>choose your photo/photos> right-click on any photo> choose edit in>Adobe CS5 in your case. Regarding iPhoto I wouldn't know, sorry. But I import using Lightroom import function...

    Lightroom 5 and CS5 RAW Images

    Hi Dave. I use LR4 on a pc so I'm not sure this applies but I right click the image/images I want to edit in PS and choose edit in PS from the drop-down menu. In my case this opens a tiff copy in PS. Sent from my GT-I9300 using tapatalk.

    Cold..? Then you might be working for a Swedish company but you can't be working in Sweden, at the moment at least. The heat we're having is insane for Sweden. :) Looking forwards to some of your pics, so be sure to post. Sent from my GT-I9300 using tapatalk.
