I had another breakthrough when I really realized how to properly use masks in Photoshop. I am trying to stay away from post-editing photos too much (this is supposed to be a practice in good photography!) but I it is also good practice in using post-editing to enhance photos. It is fun to take pictures of everyday things and see how you can make them look cool. Sometimes during the week, I get too busy and slap photos up on here without showing them the TLC they deserve.
What are masks? Is that making the background more fuzzy? That is really good picture, I really like the pop of color.
ReplyDeleteMasks are complex...you basically put something over the picture (like a texture or solid color) and then use masks to erase part of the layer so that part of your picture is clear. For this one, I layered black over the photo, and dialed it back until it was barely gray and fuzzy. Then, I "erased" the gray fuzzy part off of the flag in the foreground so it was clearer and brighter than the others.
