Metamorphosis , The-dream-maker 2 , Fresh-air By Ionut Caras Using Photoshop CC 1 2 3 I usually try to connect some feelings with my pictures, and try to make a strange world, something very powerful with very deep meaning. I’m in love with photography, and when I do something creative, I’m in a different world. I’ve done this kind of work for over 10 years, and I’m still not tired. I spend a lot of time collecting pictures to find a good combination, a story, a perfect match of colours and so on. www.carasdesign.com Oil world By James Tucker Using Lightroom 5, Photoshop CC 2014 4 This image was shot with a Canon 1D X.

The mobile and desktop versions of Lightroom work seamlessly to enable you to organise, edit and share your photos from your home or on the go. To use Lightroom Mobile you’ll need to sign up for an Adobe ID so that you can access the Adobe Creative Cloud. This enables you to create a collection of photos on your desktop copy of Lightroom and sync them via the Creative Cloud to Lightroom Mobile on your portable devices. You can then use Lightroom Mobile while on the go to add ratings to your photos and adjust their colour, tone and composition.…

By default the collection is called My Tablet Photos. You can re-label the collection in Lightroom Mobile by tapping the three white dots at the bottom left of the collection’s cover photo. This reveals a list of commands including Rename. You can also rename the collection after it has been synced to Lightroom on your desktop. If you rename the collection in one version of Lightroom, the name change will automatically be updated in the other. As well as syncing photos snapped on your iPad, you can also sync photos from your Lightroom Library with Lightroom Mobile, so that you can organise and edit them…

Photoshop has many types of layers and adjustment layers available, but there are six that you’ll find you need to use again and again. Learning how they should be used may seem a little daunting for beginners, but once you’ve got to grips with them, you’ll find they play a part in the creative process of almost every image you make. 01 LEVELS This should be the first layer you add to an image, because it fundamentally alters the tonal range of the entire image. Create a Levels adjustment layer, drag the Black Point slider inwards until it touches the lefthand edge of the histogram, and drag the White Point slider inwards to the right-hand edge. This remaps the tones of the image to make more of the available tonal…

WATCH THE VIDEO http://tiny.cc/b9jjyx Photoshop is as beloved by artists as it is by photographers. In this project we’re going to combine art forms, giving a portrait a hand-drawn, hand-painted effect – complete with the artist’s arm ‘sketching’ their masterpiece for a 3D look. We’ve provided the portrait plus the photo of the hand holding a pencil, but if you want to use your own, a simple portrait with a plain background works best for a convincing drawing. For the hand, position the subject’s arm on a white background – such as a sheet of plain paper – and shoot from directly above to keep everything in as level a plane of focus as possible, using a mid-range aperture for a good depth of field. A flashgun will add a…
