So I took this photo a while back at one of my friends homes. so tonight I thought I would mess around with PS some.

What you all think?

 

Looks good. Did you just copy the flower and desaturate the background? People think PS is hard (some of it is) but 99% of the stuff is pretty easy once you learn the basics..

 

that looks great ive always wondered how people did that could never do it
i so want to do this once i learn how

 

Something like that, but I used the B&W in Cs4. Yea it is kind of basic, but I am learning.

 

I have CS2 right now, was too worried when I was starting that CS4 would be too much at once.. I'm also just learning how to use Adobe lightroom. If you get a chance, you should check that out too. If you need any help with PS lemme know. I consider myself proficient at it..

 

If you think 99% of the things you can do with Photoshop are pretty easy, then you are only aware of about 10% of what that program can do The "basic" stuff is fairly easy to do; the real trick is making it look believable as an unmodified image.

 

Righteous.

 

Sorry let me clarify. 99% of the things a normal person would want to do is very easy. All of the requests on the car forums I'm on are for very simple stuff. Nothing complex like rendering a city floating over a waterfall.

 

well rendering a city on a waterfall doesn't sound too difficult either just time consuming. I know what you're saying though. Just keep in mind the last part--swapping on a new wheel or making a green car red is easy enough; the trick of photoshop is making the final image look as though it was never modified in the first place.
