Photoshopping Techniques
In honor of the one-year anniversary coming up, here are some examples of all the awesome things you can do with photoshop. It's so fun and exciting! This other photographer, Jason Snyder http://jasonsnyderphotographer.blogspot.com/, a fantastic inspiration of mine, now does the same thing on his blog but better. Also, a shoutout to our new fan Jen, who is not a swimmer but a diver!
Here's the original photo. |
Here, all I did was edit out the logo on the sweatshirt. |
In this one, I opened all the editing options and just clicked Auto and let Adobe do its thing. |
This is called the Lomo Camera Effect I don't know how it works, but you cross process the picture, and then add a black vignette. |
In this one, I changed the apparent "depth of field" First, I blurred the picture. Then I used the gradiant tool over the faces. Finally, I increased the blur of the rest of the photo. |
This one is the Orton Effect, invented by Michael Orton. Personally, I don't like it, but apparently some people do because it's famous. |
This is self-explanatory, it's a picture pile. Kind of weird; cool I guess. I don't really know when someone would really want to use this? |
Here's some Pop Art, like Andy Warhol. First, you "posterize" your image, then add a "Neon Glow Effect", then duplicate the image. |
This is done with a Reflection. First you add the reflection, then use the Eyedropper Tool to get the color, do some distortion, then add a gradient. cool! |

Wow! What do you know! On Thursday, January 26, Swimming Sensations will have been around for exactly one year! I guess we'll try to do some sort of celebratory thingy-ma-bob. But for now, here's some pictures from last night's winter semi-formal.

Happy New Year
Hopefully the New Year of 2012 will bring health and happiness and lots of pretty pictures!
This is a small portion of my winter semi-formal dress. |
I got a ukulele with my earnings from the Civics Fair! My sister took this picture, but I edited it to make it cool! |
