Enhance Your Digital Photos With Photoshop CS
by: Granny's Mettle
Digital cameras are wonderful items to have. Unlike before when you have to content yourself with what the developer has produced from your roll of film, nowadays, we have the flexibility to do whatever we want to do with our photos. You could enhance the color, perhaps, or cut out unwanted people and things from the photos. You could also take away the face of the girl from the photo of the man you’re fascinated with and exchange it with your face instead. The enhancements that can be made are limitless.
For Photoshop CS, you could take your digital photos to new heights with the software’s features and tools. To get the most out of the application, here are a few suggestions:
* To lighten dark photos, open the photo you want to edit and select Image from the main toolbar. Then, click Adjustments, and then select Brightness/Contrast. Just adjust according to your preference, and until your are satisfied with your photo.
* To add more color, click on Image from the main toolbar. Then choose Adjustments, followed by Match Color. Increase and decrease the Color Intensity setting until you’ve reached your satisfaction.
* When removing the background from your photo, or a person or thing, select Pen Tool from the Tools panel on your screen. Using the tool, start on one side of the object and click around the outline. This will extract the object you want removed. Take note that this is a delicate process. The more accurate your outline, the better your final image will be. Zooming in would also help you get an accurate outline.
* To optimize your photos for the Web, Photoshop has an image optimizer that can reduce the file size that usually slows down the loading time in the Web. When your dealing with the web, time is of the essence. The software reduces the size of the file while preserving the quality of the image.
To do this, open your image and choose File from the main menu. Select Save for Web. A new window will open with some basic presets. Select then the file size you need and save the document.
Doing these suggestions can help you enhance your digital photos. And if you’re one of the unfortunate ones and still don’t have a digital camera, you can still use the tips. Just scan your photos to 300 dpi for best results.
