    Einstein in Technicolor

    You did a great job on the skin! I see so many coloration projects like this that really botch the skin color. This looks very warm. Beautiful! That said, I think the face a little more realism to it's color, as if it was shot with a modern camera. The sweater has less contrast which makes...

    How can I make this happen?

    Alternatively to the burn tool, you could just color correct them separately with a curve adjustment layer. The burn tool may be tricky to get right, and you permanently alter the image with each stroke. A curve on an adjustment layer is nice because you can go back and change it as much as...

    How can I create this type of effect?!

    Well, you can actually fake it too. google up some images of lens flare over black areas. for example: Crop out an area of the flare over black, to get an abstract image such as: Now, put it on a layer over your original image and set the layer mode to 'screen'. (in your layer's window...

    Also, I'd try to have him take photos from many various perspectives. The more severe the perspective, the harder to photoshop realistically. For example in the case of the gold club, ask him to take some pictures with ribbon applied (or fishnet stocking as I suggest), and shoot with the head...

    aw, that's a good point! We can Photoshop anything! Okay, and if he's really smart he'd just photograph a ribbon in similar lighting conditions, wrapped around something of a similar shape, and then composite in. You'd want to have as much interaction with the object as possible. I think...

    Another 'How Did They Do This?' question!

    This may sound old-school, but I think it would look best if you photographed an element of paint splatter that you created yourself. It doesn't matter how good you are or how great your brush tools are - nothing will look as intriguing to the viewer as integrated, 'real' effects. Plus, it...

    How to make a specific effect?

    yeah, and for the glowy effect they probably used the layer mode 'screen'. (the drop-down menu in your layers tab that says 'normal' by default). I would have at least three layers. 1: the base image that you smudged, with the layer mode set to 'normal' 2: a copy of the smudged image over...

    Abstract Practice

    Hey LooknGlass, that's really cool! Especially while learning the tools, that's a tough challenge you gave yourself. Kinman Chan is an artist that you may want to reference because he uses a similar approach. He'll paint an abstract image like your crayon drawing, and then mold the painting...

    Best Way To Make Selection in photoshop ...

    okay, and here's another technique for polishing the extraction. Sometimes, you'll get a background that actually bleeds into the area you're trying to cut out. For example, let's say you're pulling a key on a cloud from a blue sky. However, you want to put that sky onto a pink sky rather...

    Best Way To Make Selection in photoshop ...

    Actually, there's a trick I really love that you may want to know (if you don't already). I use it all the time! The basic idea is you generate a black and white image in your Channels tab (just right of your layers tab), and then hold "ctrl" while clicking the thumbnail of the image. This...
