PHOTOSHOP TUTORIAL

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 :)
