This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Sorry It's been a while, but if I spent more time on Editing Wedding Pics instead of Inverting :? :?
The Bride's guuna kill me.

Now I have seen this done before on this Forum
Thanks Vince ( Shutterbug ) for giving me the idea in the first place ( Yours looks much better )
& Big Pix for explaining how to do it last week to me.

This is not final or anything, it's just to see how a few looked.

Any suggestions would be good.

Thanks,

Mic.

Mic, that looks crap. I fixed it up for you: :)

In all seriousness though, it looks great. The only thing I don't like is that the cake seems somewhat underexposed?

Mic, how were the party pies? Did they go well with the creamy dip? Did the cake tip over when they cut it?

Looks good mate.

BBJ, thanks :wink:

It's a lot simpler than it looks >

All you do is Go into PS and open one of your Pics
Resize down to say 800 Pixels but you can experiment with this
Save it & then open up new Doc and size it to whatever you want
You can fill it with whatever colour you want as well
Then hit your move tool and drag it over to your doc

Just takes a bit of experimenting.

Vince probably has a better way, but this should get you on your way.

Now >

Jethro, Very funny.
Shutterbug, thanks :wink:
Geoff, thanks :wink:

MCWB, Hmmmm very funny Ha HA ( I supose I had that coming )

Glen. Didn't get to have a party pie, A Photographer never rests :D

Chris, They are great :shock: What a selection.

Thanks all.

Mic. :wink:

mic no need to resize to 800 pixels as you will loose quality, just resize the bounding box when you have moved your image, on mac hold shift key and resize or command key on the other one, if your image that you have moved, has moved outside the area you are moving it into go to view and fit on screen resize sometimes this is a very small image, after a quick resize to make it fit just use view and fit to screen again, then put your image where you want

good luck

Looked like some good shots, Mic. Interesting selection of diverse shots. I liked the hands pinning on the flower the best. Quite nice. :)

Thanks Kerry, yes I tried to get a few different because I knew I was going to do things with them in PS. So far so good.

Mic. :wink:


big pix, Thanks for the Tip, just one question ?

When you have got the image on the new doc, whats the best way to scale it down ?
Do you alter the numbers at the top in all those little boxes X's & Y's or %

So I don't lose the shape ( like Constrain Proportions does ) ?

I hope you know what I mean, this must sound pretty funny to you Pro's
:D

Thanks,

Mic.

on mac hold down your shift key and grab a corner and use your move tool. on PC I think it is the command key you hold down but same movement
