Description
Hello every body, today I want to show you what most of the photographers will not show!!!
Most of the time you see these great perfect pictures and wonder how do they manage to take a shot like that??
Here I want to show you one of my ugly photos and how i turn it into something!!
the first frame show the original picture that came out of my digital cam. in that day it was very sunny, windy and the background is bad too.
frame two:
I started in cleaning the background, removing the ugly things that showed in my photo, then cut the ropes and leave the horses free ( because they didn't want to leave them free at that day!!!), using the clone stamp and the healing brush at photoshop. (its better to work at the original large file that came out of my cam. 2560X1920 pix).
after doing all that, I add a nice blue cloudy sky shot that i toke before, and merge it with the original photo using the layers blending modes: multiply most of the time, or any other mode that will work fine with my image.
Frame three:
in the end I do use some blur filter more contrast more saturation .... and add a nice frame... then resize the picture to a smaller size... usually i like 800X600 so most of you will see the picture without any scroll.
in this shot i used a smaller dimensions to keep the file size as small as i can...276kb gif file.
I'll post the final result later if you like to see it in the 800X600 size.
I hope that some of you will like it ... ok i know its very basic, but as i said maybe some of you will get some benefit from it??
thanx

Kudos here! Great tute, a baby could understand this. I liked the second phase (the pale one without the reins). But that is just me.

Dear Sir, I would have cloned out that fence :)) Its what people want, deception. Once a person understand the true meaning of that and finds a way to express his/her view on that, its like BINGO. You know who they learn em jump. :( Good work of youre hand, technicly sane, but gif, as a format, brr. For that gif I grand you a most perfect ever seen gif kinda thingie (oke, ani gif) :) My black hat of for ya.
