photo editing blog

As soon as I put out to collect quotes with this article, I meant to earn a round-up of their greatest Photoshop tips from bloggers within our community. I more-or-less assumed that most established bloggers were utilizing this app to edit their photos before submitting. As soon as I reached out into a handful of bloggers to receive their input, I was surprised to hear back that many of them don't even use Photoshop — but rather a whole ton of different editing tools and apps. Alicia from Cheetah is the New Black uses Keynote, also Katy Atlas of SugarLaws utilizes Google+. By Lightroom to Picassa, here are a sampling of those very best photo-editing tips from writers: Lacey Maffettone (A Lacey Perspective) on Picasa:"I use Picasa (part of Google) to edit my own pictures. My favorite feature is, definitely, the"I'm Feeling Lucky" button. It is a one-click method to get the colours in the photograph to balance out (that is whether the picture was too boring or too bright). Sometimes it works superbly and there are some other times that it doesn't... but the Majority of the time I feel quite lucky." Christina Topacio (ProFresh Style) on Adobe Lightroom:"In Lightroom, there's an import button for blockers that makes editing super easy. My main tip would be to Google"Lightroom presets" to offer you fast and simple edited photographs without too much effort. (It is like downloading Photoshop fonts or stamps). I've got over 40 presets I filter with with little tweaks" Grace Atwood (Stripes & Sequins) on Photoshop:"I've got both Photoshop and Photoshop Elements but use Elements for all of my collages and producing graphics. The best tip I learned was how to erase an background. It helps to create graphics + images. You only take your picture, make a duplicate layer, then deactivate the background layer. (Click the little eye tool from the layers tab. ) Use the magic wand tool to select the desktop (play the tolerance attribute to make certain you grab the entire background and not parts of your picture, ) and then hit delete. Voila. Your image is now background-free. Ideal for layering or creating a collage. If You Would like to save itsave it as a PNG file -- not even a JPEG... if you save as a JPEG, it will automatically add a white background." IFB's favorite"quick and dirty" editing tools: Pixlr.
