Happy Wednesday!
In keeping with our theme this month 'simplicity'… here is a simple and fun photoshop tip that I'd like to share with you. C'mon… you've got a few minutes to spare… come try this out!
In the image above, you will see a parked cruiser bike, my niece in the background, and lots of blue sparkly water. What you don't see is what the image looked like prior to a little photoshop… magic!
With that said, let's take a look at the original image below:
Notice the difference? The sun was directly overhead and well… kinda flat. Not much light reflecting off of the water. So I, and my handy assistant photoshop, helped out mother nature and tweaked it a bit. Voila! Sparkly water!
If you know photoshop, this is really a very simple adjustment to your image.
If you are a newbie to photoshop, there are some great classes online. Some of my fav's can be found at kimklassencafe.com and Lynda.com. You can also find free video tutorials on you tube… free! So, go learn, have fun, and play around in photoshop! And as always… we'd love to see your final image in our flickr pool and instagram! ~ xo's!
