Photoshop Montage class
Okay, this week we try a bit of fairly sophisticated photoshop maneuvering. Head to the nowwhichway homepage, or go directly to sample pageto see the examples and links to the image files.
As I said before, I’m not much into making composites to create imaginary scenes, but here is an example where the orginal photographs all had problems, and we can use photoshop to overcome the limitations of imaging capture technology and create an image that is more in keeping with what we see and remember.
The ‘remember’ part is probably more accurate. How often do people look at a photograph and say “that wasn’t what I saw” when really they mean, “that image isn’t what I remember from what happened. I’m sure the sunset was much more red and that boy/girl I was snogging was much cuter than that…”
There are many reasons for using compositing tools, so practice them.
