Haunting, surreal, and quite possibly the first major way in which digital photography does something which film photography can’t emulate - or even come near. HDR - or High Dynamic Range - photography is nothing new, but as new tools and techniques make the artform more available, HDR photography is taking off in a big way. If you’ve never had a go… and especially if you don’t even know what I’m on about - you’re ...

One of the techniques people most often ask me to teach them is making a photograph like the one on the right that is black and white with one other colour. There are a few ways to achieve this effect but here is the one I find easiest for Photoshop users: 1) Open a suitable photograph, this can be any subject but ideally it needs an area of bright colour that will have an impact ...

The guide is also packed with helpful screenshots, which makes any good Photoshop tutorial stand out. Check out how to blend layers in ...

Filed under: Features, How-tos, Graphic Design Yesterday, I showed you how to simulate a photograph taken with a tilt-shift lens by using Photoshop CS3's Lens Blur tool. Today, we'll do something a bit more practical: clipping out an object that's not entirely in focus. Clipping out objects that are out of focus can be something of a chore: either you have a hard, dark edge somewhere you don't want, or you have to settle for ...

Filed under: Features, How-tos, Graphic Design We all know Photoshop is a powerful tool. In two tutorials, I'll take you through how to use Photoshop CS3's Lens Blur filter to do two things: today, we'll make images look like they were shot with a tilt-shift lens. Tomorrow, we'll create clipping masks for objects that aren't entirely in focus. Lens Blur gives the effect of a narrower depth of field, so some areas of your image ...

As tech writers (and, perhaps more important, fans), we’re accustomed to constantly clamoring after the newest, shiniest devices. I can name at least two members of my staff who sell off their old laptops and buy a brand new one pretty much every time Apple releases a new model. But maybe there’s something to the idea of not fixing what ain’t broke. Take, for example, the cover for the latest issue of The New Yorker, ...

You probably assume that most major magazine covers are designed on top-of-the-line systems with the most advanced software available. Most of the time, you'd be right. But this week's New Yorker cover was created by Bob Staake on some pretty ancient technology: Mac OS 7 and Photoshop 3.0. Mac OS 7 was released in 1991 and Photoshop 3.0 was released in 1994. Good lord. The cover is simple, yes, but I don't really see the ...

In Kenya, the name of the game translates roughly into “who gets to be the speedbump” Along life’s journey we must contend with many unusual experiences that take us far outside of our comfort zone. But comfort zones were meant to be pierced, mangled, crushed, flavored with spicy oils, and burned to the ground. Something like that. We hope you enjoy this journey, and please, check your comfort zone at the “loser door”. (Pics) (more…)
