PHOTOSHOP TUTORIAL:
Now this is something that I have never done before,
and most photographers would not want to show you their before and after Photoshop images.
But I thought this would be an interesting way to show everyone out
there what I do to my images in Photoshop. NO SHAME HERE :)
I'm proud that I have the skills to manipulate my images any way I want.
1. This is what my image looks like without any changes.
2. I straighten the verticals in the photo so that it does not feel like it is leaning.
3. I brighten up the doorway and right side windows with a Curves layer.
4. I darken the upper left side of the building with a Curves layer.
5. I remove the sign and car with the Clone Stamp.
6. I remove the Orange cover on the ground using the Clone Stamp.
7. I remove the large white graffiti from the box above the door using the Clone Stamp tool.
8. I Brighten and Add Contrast to the photo with a Brightness/Contrast Layer.
9. I add a Black and White Layer.
10. Using a Curves Layer I brighten the Door and Windows.
11. I Sharpen the entire photo using a High Pass Filter.
12. I add a Gaussian Blur and Mask it out so it only affects the
right and left side of the photo.
WOW, what a difference!
If you liked this, please let me know.
That way I will know to do more blog posts similar to this one.
Oh, and once again don't steal my images :)
