94 SHOP TALK - Jan. 7, 2025
Questions Addressed:
1. We saw a better way to remove halos. No need to make any selections. Just add an empty layer, clone the halo but don’t forget to change the blending mode of the empty layer. (Darken or Lighten – depends on the type of halo). Thank you Sam for sending this over! see video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4v1kKh3mI2A
2. We saw Carol’s abstract image of the elephant and gave her feedback and what we thought looked better.
3. We had a close look at Judy’s architectural B&W image and say a few ways to enhance it.
4. We didn’t dive into Mark’s image. However, I am posting here the links to what Mark recommended we watch on how to make puddle reflections:
a. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZCfJAenQ24
b. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VX_qHo1eGUo
Mark, I will have a closer look at these videos and will get back to you with my comments in a future session.
5. We talked about the concept of various series and tried to help Cindy conceptualize.
6. Lastly, we welcomed Steve to the group and did a recap on how to register to Talk-&-Learn when you want to submit an image and how to submit a question for Shop Talk.
