Photoshop Help- Request

samran

Thanks to everyone that responded. I will follow your advice and give you a couple of examples of the photographs that I would love to learn how to do the techniques on in Photoshop. The photographer's website is www.artistiphotography.com.

If you click on her gallery link, then senior pics, then the second pic on the left, top row. It's black and white but almost looks soft and grainy at the same time. Anyone know how she did that.

Also, if you click on the "Weddings" tab, then click on page 4, and then the third picture from the right on the bottom row. It is a picture of a bride standing on a dock by herself with her arm raised up. The photographer has the subject and surrounding area soft and vibrant. This is what I was asking about previously. Any clue how she did it?

Thanks so much everyone!
Samantha
