Photography Tips Guide

Posts Tagged ‘Photoshop’

I’ve been tipped by other people to place a CMYK bar strip near my painting / still life object when i’m to photograph it. But i’d like to know how the procedure to do proper color correction with the color bar, on Photoshop.
For your info, i do calibrate my white balance in my camera before i shoot.
Thanks for your contributed thoughts.

i’m an amateur photographer but photography is going to be my career so i need serious software. i am getting into wedding photography and i just completed my first wedding job so, with the money from that, i am buying my first adobe product so i need help deciding.
i do portraiture, band promo shots, plenty of low light work, and pretty much anything else.
thank you!

I work in all Adobe products, but have found out that I love doing photo restoration and manipulation, such as changing black & white images to color and combining images to create a new image. Would love to work with a photographer.

I would like to buy one to make my pictures a little more better.
Could you point me in the direction of the best product for someone on a budget? Maybe UNDER $100?

Almost every one of us, who have digital photo camera, saw “grainy” photos at least once. That’s thanking to colored pixels (so-called grains, speckles) that are present on photos, but do not exist in the reality.

There are several causes why the noise happens to digital photos: long exposure times, heating of the camera sensor, high ISO settings, matrix defects, small pixel size etc. The effect is very frequent to the consumer digital cameras that are built on CCD or CMOS sensors.

Digital noise is very unpleasant artefact that spoils really good shots sometimes. Every shot corresponds to a unique moment which will never happen again, and the only thing we have to do with a cool, but noisy photo is to retouch it slightly to make it perfect.

Does such a post-processiong software exist? Yes it does. There are several noise reduction photoshop pugins (for both windows and macOS) specially designed to remove noise grains from digital photographs:

The utilities allow reduction of (together and separately): luminance noise and color (chroma) noise. Additional options include fading, blurring and sharpening edges.

So, removing of the most unpleasant picture imperfection – the digital noise – is possible and much more easier than one can imagine. Due to modern image processing algorithms, the plugins can work almost automatically, so noise reduction does not require any advanced computer skills from a photographer.

Noise reduction is made easy nowadays.
