Tutorials

Ever find yourself wondering just how someone managed to create an image using different effects?

Here are three simple tutorials we hope will encourage you to try something new.

The Hot Seat

A lifelong interest in landscape photography has led Eyal Oren to make a study of his adopted hometown of Marblehead, MA. As you can see, his dedication is paying off!

Africa!

Dgrinners Harryb, Pathfinder, and others joined Andy Williams and Marc Muench on Safari in East Africa recently. Here are some awesome threads to check out!

Cleaning up sensor crud in post processing
So my sensor looks like wrath. I'm working for a newspaper in Arizona for a bit and changing lenses in the desert is taking its toll even trying to be careful.

Ultimately, I'm going to have to send my 1D in to get cleaned (I think the glass on the sensor even has been scratched,) but I'm sure not doing it while I'm down here.

Anyway, I need a better way of cleaning up dust. Just doing spot healing is taking FOREVER. Figure 3 minutes per photo, trying to do a 20 photo gallery. Adds up freaking quick.

See sample photo below. Sorry about the huge size, I just want people to see what I'm working with here.

In some instances I'm using "dust and scratches," cranking it up high and then switching layer mode to "lighten." But that's one of those 40% of the time it works every time fixes. If anyone has any further suggestions I would be much obliged.



OK. The freaking image isn't displaying. You can find the image here.
