Photoshop – John's Photo Stuff

Colorado Sky and Lake at Broadmoor

I exposed for the sky detail, then used Photoshop Camera Raw’s gradient filter to lighten the rest of the image.

Broadmoor, Colorado Springs

Cindi and I were fortunate to visit this resort for the ALAS convention. We had a spectacular time. I took a lot of photos. Here is the “Party Like It’s 1979” party.

There is a lot of action on the streets in Barcelona. This picture was taken outside the Picasso Museum, which was fantastic, by the way.
I used Photoshop’s almost magic camera raw “adjustment brush” on my raw file to help control the contrast here.

Fixing Group Photos with Photoshop

The more people there are in a group photo, the more likely it is that one of them has closed eyes, looked away, looks stupider than usual, etc. Here are two group shots of our company’s service project for Harvesters.

See if you can find which people I replaced with this version:

Luckily, Photoshop has some magic available for this situation. You create a new image with each of these photos as a separate layer. You use Photoshop’s align layers tool to get them to match. (I didn’t use a tripod so the two photos were a little different in alignment.) You then apply a mask to the whole layer and paint in the faces you want from the other layer.
