Photo Workbench – Sunrise By Shade
Posted by Rob_Nunn under: photo workbench; tutorials.
Shade recently sent me a nice photograph he took of a beautiful Sunrise, asking about any photo editing tips I might have to give the image a little more “punch”.
What I’ll do is run through a simple work-flow in Photoshop Elements, but the techniques work just as well in the full Photoshop, Gimp, or any other layers based software.

Watcher – Andreas Edit
Posted by Rob_Nunn under: photo workbench.
Andreas Overland was kind enough to work on this image for me, make sure you check out his website..
This is basically what Andreas did (in his own words):
1. Made a gradient map adjustment layer to add toned black/white effect
2. Used the Black/White adjustment layer as well (beneath the gradient map) to take away most of the blue in the sky
3. Added a curves adjustment layer to get a little vignetting going, thereby (hopefully) making the photo look more old and eery
4. Added a curves adjustment layer to pull the entire photo down in brightness
Also I made sure the details in the crow/raven did not disappear, by canceling the effects of the above layers by drawing on the mask.
Cheers, Rob.

Photo Workbench – Rocks Still Life by Michael
Posted by Rob_Nunn under: photo workbench; tutorials.
Michael asked me for some opinions on the shots taken with his new Fujifilm S8000 (good choice!), and this macro study of a group of rocks stood out as something that could benefit from a quick treatment from Photoshop Elements.
