I call dibs on CC tutorial.
I'll have one up tomorrow if I have time.

what are you looking for? something like the one just posted?

yeah, like the one by iridescent (susie). thanks a bunch kiki! <333333

[i KITTY x3 =)*]

Does anyone know how to achieve that glowy effect that ullzangs use? Much like this one that jeNn.* made.



I know in the tutorial it says to go to brightness/contrast, but I've tried adjusting them a couple of times and I still can't get that glowy, dreamy effect.

I also did the gaussian blur/overlay effect with it, but it's not as.. bright as that picture.

And the infamous ullzang photoshopping that makes the skin look really white and clear



I KNOW it is IMPOSSIBLE to be that pale in real life. o__o So it has to be ps, no? Or a ton of makeup. =O Because her real skin color is in this picture:


She is the one with the pink bow in her hair o_o

[silentxtears]

^ I think that she might've just duplicated the layer and put the duplicated layer on SCREEN and maybe changed the opacity a bit. I think

The reason why her skin looks so pale is not because of photoshop, its just they are shot under different lighting conditions and the photos were not color corrected.

The 1st photo was shot under tungsten light which is why she looks so pale

The 2nd photo was shot under fluorescent light without color correction so that's why her skin color looks so red/orange

heres what the 1st photo would have looked like if it was color corrected


heres what the 2nd photo would have looked like if it was color corrected


Notice the 2nd shot is STILL more redish because flourescent light are higher in Kelvins aka they give a warmer look


Hope that helps.

I was wondering, you know the "Dreamy world" series, how do you get the effect? Like the image looks so real, but then you know it's not real..

does anyone know how to decrease the number og kb for a gif?thanks

I don't think you can, I know JPG you can just make the quality a 9,10,or 11, and still keep the quality and decrease the # of KB.

[litoxshortaii]

^^i think you sharpen the layer and then put a gradient over and then play witht he blending setting

hm, i js tried this but it doesnt seem to be getting the effect that i want =T like, im wondering how to get the skin color kind of bleached out.. and the other colors sort of grungy but vibrant? sort of like the avatars in the sig of the person above me..

[merciiii]

how do u make images look like that?

[Booger Face]

Is there anyway that Photoshop can give a picture that "magazine" look? A professional studio look, or does it all depend on the camera?

GIF Animation file size:
There are a few different options to try when trying to reduce the file size of GIF animations.
You could reduce the number of frames.
You could accept a lower quality of images per frame of animation.
You could reduce the physical dimensions of the gif animation as a whole.

----------------------------------------------------------

Real, but not real... :

The gallery you linked to displays images that are composites of different photographs/images.
It's not very different from what the Soompiers have been doing on this site.
I find that Soompiers tend to be more 'artistic' than 'practical' when choosing what to compose with what, whereas the user you linked to has specific purposes in what kind of images he/she uses to create the composites. It's just a picture of a bridge with a skyline composited with a very detailed close up photo of the moon. Add some special effects like the color burst above the moon, adjust colors and levels to match, post it on DA and be proud.

How do you make light textures like these?

^ I wanna know too i'm getting fustrated just trying to do it

Try playing with Levels.
Bring up the levels dialogue box, and slide the right arrow in toward the middle. That brightens the brightest parts of the image.
If you do this to a duplicate layer, you have the option to mask out parts of the image you don't want effected by the levels adjustment. Or you could do without the duplicate layer, and just start off with the levels adjustment layer mask (located by clicking the half black/white circle at the bottom of the layers palette).

If that doesn't suit your needs, let me know, and I'll let you know other ways.

Although in most cases, your explanation would fit, I'm afraid in this case, if it's a question of whether the work was done in Photoshop or in-studio, the answer is Photoshop. The photo was used to demonstrate the 'uljjang' technique used by Photoshoppers to 'enhance' features like eyes and skin tone. Personally, I think the people end up looking like cartoons, and don't really find it particularly pleasant. The original photo was exposed properly with no obvious color casting. The photo shown above, is a result of Photoshoppery.

Great explanation, though.

how do u make images look like that?

Image>Adjustments>Hue/Saturation.
Slide the saturation slider to the left until you're satisfied.

If you want a single color to 'shade' the entire image, click the 'colorize' box at the bottom of the Hue/Saturation box, and play with the hue and saturation sliders. Hue decides on the color used, and the saturation slider sets how 'colorful' the color is.

Is there anyway that Photoshop can give a picture that "magazine" look? A professional studio look, or does it all depend on the camera?

There are many many many ways to change the look of any given image. The trick is to start with one image, and turn it into something you were trying to turn it into. The possibility of this all depends on what you're starting with, and where you want to go with that image.

For instance, if you take a cell phone image (usually about 640x480) and try to turn it into a portrait you can print at 8x10, you're going to be very frustrated.

Post an image you'd like worked on, and I'll try to list some of the steps I go through to 'improve' the image.
That is, of course, provided that I don't decide that the image is not workable to begin with.

Portrait retouching is one of my favorite things to do with Photoshop.

Sorry bout if you check those photos in photoshop, you can see in the various highlight areas for the first shot (ie in her hat) on the info palette, you can see the higher value on the green than the red and blue
red: 247
green: 251
blue: 246

on the second shot, in the highlight areas (ie in the white dress on the front), the values are much higher on the red and green channel and much lower on the blue channel
red: 247
green: 242
blue: 229

Just a slight cast on the first one, but a very noticable cast on the second shot

BTW, saw your jasonsphere on your flickr website, excellent work on it!
