+SD Rowdies Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 (edited) Space reserved for Photoshop Lesson 12. Dang it, now I've gotta write a lesson. Hmm, so what would y'all think of a lesson on bestiality? Well, you know, soft bestiality without the procreation part. I know a certain Geocaching lady that's really good at this sort of photo editing. Perhaps she'll stand and be recognized. Here's a teaser. Honk if you recognize the Geocacher's eyeballs.

We left the container just as found at the very base of the tree covered by three really obvious river stones. No Muggles in sight either. Maybe the other team had a little cocktail at lunch and, by the way, they didn't log a joke so they are already under suspicion. We were there at about one-ish I think.

+SD Rowdies Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 (edited) I've done some work on Photoshop Lesson 12. I've decided that the lesson will be a way to cover the multitude of issues that pertain to image focus and contrast, that is to say image "sharpening." Really the effort must be more of a seminar than a lesson because the various causes for image blur must be explored before describing and demonstrating the many ways to reduce or eliminate one or more of the types of blur encountered in digital photographs. I promise you that the lesson will go well beyond a simple click of an automatic "Sharpen" filter. Properly presented such a lesson can open a lot of doors to Photoshop capabilities that offer amazing results when improving blurred images. Seriously, you might be surprised at what you don't know about correcting blurred images. Coverage would be provided for correcting Gaussian blur, lens blur, and motion blur or combinations of the three blurs. It's a fairly subtle and complex subject and so calls for many definitions, detailed instructions, and examples in order to present the subject in a complete and useful way. Now it is true that many Photoshop books cover this subject very well but what I hope to offer is a titration of the subject boiled down to understandable plain talk or so I think. What concerns me is that there might not be enough interest here on the SD Banter thread to justify the effort. I'm willing to push on toward the lesson because, for one thing, writing such a lesson puts some useful pressure on my own grasp of the subject. Besides, I have no wish to bore accomplished readers. As planned the lesson will apply, with limitations, to older as well as the most-recent version of Adobe Photoshop, say Version 7.0 and CS2 Version 9.0. The punch line to this post is that I am anxious to know whether I should (1) press on with this lesson as outlined, (2) choose simpler subject, or (3) just f'get about it. What say? Show of hands?

Thanks Pat I made it through the first chapter of Photoshop CS2 Studio Techniques. Chapter 1 wasn't quite enough to make a lesson out of but it was a good overview of the tools to be covered! I did learn that when you use the Eye Dropper Tool (the color picker thang-a-ma-jig) that besides selecting a single pixel you can pick a 3x3 or 5x5 average! Quote Link to comment

I guess it is my fault smilinglady13 didn't find it. We looked right where I found it the first time. We didn't wander too much away from there (the rain and slippery mud helped us not wander). I do know caches sometimes drift over time. Either that or I somehow got us to the wrong spot along with the GPSr since I let her look before I helped. Quote Link to comment
