First off, thanks for all your feedback. Lots of messages sent this month - and they all get read, I promise! If you have any comments please don’t hesitate to let us know.
Photo Tips #4 –
Look for the smaller details
Those smaller details might be ornate carving on a door, some worn rock, or maybe even a beer glass!
The point is, sometimes these small details are often overlooked, and can be a treasure trove of photographic material.
Next time you are out and about with your camera, keep an eye out for these small details, and take a few snaps. You might just end up with a winning shot.
Photoshop Elements tip
This month’s tip is to add a touch of sharpening.Many pictures can benefit from a little sharpening.
Sharpening can’t bring an out of focus picture back into focus (although it might improve it a bit), but it can really make an already sharp image 'pop'.
Here’s the easy way to do it in Photoshop Elements:
- Load up any photo in Elements (either in 'Quick Fix' or 'Full Edit' mode).
- Go to Enhance and choose Unsharp mask
- Set the Amount to 100%, set the Threshold to 0 levels.
- Adjust the Radius until you get the level of sharpness that looks about right (start with 0.5 pixels and work from there)
TIP! It's good practice to make sharpening the last thing you do before saving your photo.
