Retouching and Styling a stock image

I wasn’t sure what image to use for my next tutorial so I hunted on dreamstime.com for a free stock image. This is what I ended up doing to it. No plan just edited in the moment.

If you learnt something from this share this on Facebook.

Until next time.

Happy editing.

Moora – Video Tutorial Final Result

I  just finished a video for you all on how to get the following stylized result. Considering the time (wee hours of the morning!) there is bound to be some mistakes. Ahhhh this takes me back to all-nighters in Sydney editing films and commercials! MMMMMmmmm COFFEE!!!!

The tutorial comes with the following recommendations/warnings:

1) Turn on the kettle and pour a nice hot beverage

2) Even better….just head straight to the wine cabinet

3) Take notes!

4) Don’t fall asleep.

Finally,  if  this tutorial has helped make sure you repost it on you’re site so others can share the love. Just copy and paste the following link:

The final result of the video tutorials

This photo is the end result of my panoramic workflow tutorial videos.
Part 1 – Lightroom 3
Part 2 – PtGui
Part 3 – Photoshop CS5

Since Part 3 I have just added another vignette around the outside of the image.
Enjoy.

Part 3 of the Panoramic Tutorial

Well it is finally here! Part 3 of the panoramic tutorial.
It took a while for me to get it up and going.
My little laptop has just about kicked the bucket
I had to open it up and clean out the dust to try and make it go faster!

So sit back – make sure you have a coffee – and enjoy!
I hope you learn something at the same time to.
Make sure you leave a comment (just so I know you are still awake and haven’t fallen asleep – I can be quite boring sometimes!)

Secrets Revealed

Well I have had a request from Ian Oxwell about what I did to the Russell falls image. (also Danny at Fujifilm wanting to see the original as well).
I have gone one better and shown how i processed the latest image. You can see the final image in the previous post.

So here it is – the total time spent on the image was roughly 3 hours. I got bored waiting for the lappy to process some things and walked away for a while.
