Where would we be without Photoshop?

Posted by Cameron in Equipment, Personal, Photography, Studio on June 6th, 2009

Had to do a quick ‘on-location’ portrait for a client yesterday so after it was done I threw my kids in for a couple of quick snaps, knowing well that this would keep me in the good books with my wife for at least couple of days!

What this does show you is that good Photoshop skills can make a world of difference, even with a bog standard and quite dull portrait. (Hope I’m not accused of calling my kids bog standard and dull!). Lighting was very simple as shown by the sketch, back/hair light was about a stop over and the main light was bouncing out of a brolly and also off the wall. Can’t recall exactly what I did in Photoshop but I did use Color Efex Pro 3.0 tools combined with general Photoshop dodging, cloning and spot healing.
