After yesterday’s parade, I headed over to Ashland Middle School to watch some Ashland High School Soccer.
I’m not a big Photoshopper. I like my images to look real. Usually the only things I do in Photoshop are crop, photomerge, and do minor work on lighting (to make things look more like they actually did–not less). I’m not a fan of HDR.
However, the original for today’s photo came out sort of strange. The grass near me had a dreamy, out-of-focus quality that I decided to push onto the rest of the image somewhat. I also lightened the shadows on the soccer player. What do you think?
Here is the original .jpg with no alterations:
Ashland had some nice weather on Thursday of last week so I headed over to the soccer field to watch the SOU ladies dominate the Trinity Lutheran University visiting team. After a generous crop and rotation I came up with the above image. However, I’m not sure if I like the “corrected” photo better than the original (below). What do you think?
BTW, this is Maddy Scott. My favorite part of the picture is when you make it larger by clicking on it you can see bits of airborne grass from the kick that have yet to settle.
Today’s photo is from the archives. I took this pic of Ellie back in 2007. However, I didn’t like it because it had too much noise. With Corel PaintShop Photo Pro X3 I easily removed most of the noise so now I’m more happy with the picture.
With Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended I then took the other girl’s foot out of the picture and came up with a slightly better result. To remove an object from an image, after outlining the thing you want removed, select Edit from the menu, and then Fill and Content Aware.
