Add Dramatic Color to Photographs: Photoshop Tutorial!

Posted by admin on June 10th, 2010 and filed under photographs | 25 Comments »

This is a tutorial that should really help some of you photographers out there. We will start with a base RAW file from an 8 megapixel low-end Canon digital camera and we will open it with Photoshop and use the Camera Raw editor to make these changes. Learn all about using the Camera RAW editor and what the different sliders do and why/how you can use them to create really bold effects to your photographs.

    Pict Bridge links Photoshop to everything it can use in your computer. It’s just like a menu – highlight the photo you want to work on, then click “command R” and it automatically opens it for you to work on. You can also drag your thumbnail onto the Photoshop icon in the dock, and it will open that way too. (btw, I’m on a Mac.)

    @poumpouros in the bridge open select an image and do control R(or command R if your a mac) and all these steps will make more sense if you are using a raw photo, some options aren’t available with a jpeg or what have you.

    @OxxselphiexxO heh. I haven’t been catching up with the latest digicams but I’m sure some models do. all DSLRs has a RAW function. you just have to ask or search around which model and brand gives that feature. RAW photos are really big in file size. compared to Jpeg. but if you are a professional or if you are in the design line, shooting in RAW is almost a must.

    @therealorberon can that be set in digicams too? or only in professional cameras?

    every photographer must shoot photos in raw not jpeg.
