A video of some photo editing

[GFWilliams]

I have had a few questions about my editing, so I have created a video of how I processed this shot:

The finshied picture:


More videos to come in the next few days/weeks

So, what do you think?

Really interesting to see the process, can you post the original as well as I'd like to see that too?

[GFWilliams]

The original was a mixture of shots (I automatically layer them at the beginning, then use 'lighten' layer mode).

Here is a contact sheet of the pictures used:

Nice vid, but the end result is poo-poo.

[//dean]

Sorry, that was rude. Not very good/doesn't work.

I'm used to it from you Dean

Yet another video, this time of me editing a rig shot:

Sorry about no commentary, I couldn't find a mic. Once I find one I'll slow the video down and guide people through the process

And a random video from a photoshoot a little while ago (Zonda Content ) here

That is excellent. Only just got CS4 and to be honest I don't know where to start with it, but seeing what is possible makes me want to learn

I've just been using the 30 day trial

I think that I'll stick to CS3 though as I can't justify the cost

In the Lambo vid, which tool did you use to make the colour stand out more on the car? Was it the burn tool?

[North West Tom]

Also, which tool did you use to make the Scooby lighter?

To make the car stand out more I created a new duplicate layer (Ctrl+J), added both contrast and saturation to it, then layer mask it and select only the car. It looked like the burn tool as I was using a paint brush to colour in the layer mask.

Again, not the use of a tool, but a layer mask. This time though it was of another set of exposures that I created using flash and merged at a separate time..

Hope that makes sense!
