Playing with Owens Blog logo

Ive been playing a little more with photoshop and logos – in many cases I’ve been taking tutorials that i found on line and messing with them, but some of the results are interesting – its amazing what you can do with text effects in Photoshop. In particular I’ve been messing around a lot with [...]

Cannot find variations in PhotoShop CS5

If you can’t find variations on your photoshop menu (Image > Adjustments > Variations) its probably because the plugin is disabled when CS5 is run in 64 bit mode (which it did for me by default). The way to correct this is to go into your applications folder on your mac – select your Photoshop [...]

At what point is it not copying?

If I take a picture that is under copyright and manipulate it in photoshop at what point is it not copying? It could be argued that at the point I have taken the image and imported it into photoshop it’s breaking the law, but is it really that simple? If I take a photo of [...]

Adobe Photoshop – not the best service ever

I have a “friend” who is currently buying the educational version of Adobe Photoshop CS5 (as i recommended) and i have to say I’m not so impressed with the service my friend is getting. So a couple of things to know about getting the educational version Its the same as the full version – no [...]

Selecting things in Photoshop

This is what I did last night. The pic is ok but what was important to me is the learning process. I did this really late at night, as I had just read about some things I could do with refine edge and couldn’t wait! In doing this I learned  several ways of selecting things [...]

Photoshopping – but not what you think!

I was out shopping yesterday, in the fresh food section, and I couldn’t help but think there would be some cool photos there –  so I did something I never do, and I took out the iPhone and started taking some pictures – you can see them in my Flickr feed. I read a review [...]

Photoshopping

Ok this week i have gone a little photoshop mad – i saw a demo of photoshop at the weekend and saw a couple of really cool things including puppet warping and content aware fills. These things aren’t new, CS5 has been around for a bit now, but I’ve just not really had time to [...]

500px

i came across this app while browsing through the appstore the other day, and i have to admit it is pretty amazing – its a photo gallery a bit like flickr but all of the work i saw on the app was just beautiful – perhaps because the app just displays the best of the [...]

Rule of thirds

Ok I should probably not take pictures after a few beers anyway but I sometimes annoy myself when I forget the rule of thirds. Anyone who take photos should know that rule and most do – the idea is fundamentally that taking shots with your subject in the centre of the frame can be really [...]
