RE: Revealing the secrets behind my work ... Photoshop as art II
The hardest part of post-processing is knowing when to stop. That's the same for any form of art, I've found.
I'd love to see before, after, and a vision of the layers. Doesn't have to be a step by step, but I'm always intruiged at how differently everyone works in Photoshop.
I've been using it too, since I was about ten years old? Its a truly amazing piece of software, and it does have limitless potential.
Thanks for sticking around with these consistent posts!
That's the hardest part for sure! There are days I spent over 5 hours of editing 1 image ... It's probably also the main reason why I've been through a lot of ups and downs lately.
I'll keep that in mind for another time! I'd love to share a "tiny" glimpse of how I work in Photoshop! ^^
The introduction of Photoshop has changed the entire world, I wouldn't know where we would stand if Photoshop didn't exist on this day. I've been working with it for so many years and yet I keep discovering things every single day.
Thank you for the support!
Have you done any darkroom stuff? I went in the "wrong way round" - I had a digital processing background before I even tried stuff in the darkroom, and the level of appreciation you get for Photoshop after having a play in the dark room goes to another level.
More so, looking at some of the photography produced in dark rooms that looks like it should be Photoshopped sets an extraordinary standard to aspire to.
It is almost like looking at old buildings and wondering how they were built without cranes, trucks, and modern power tools.
Yes I have, just like you I went the "wrong way round" as well. I truly have a bunch of respect for all the people who worked (or still work) in the darkroom without any use of digital editing. Me, I just wouldn't be able to only work in darkrooms because I've practically grown up with Photoshop and its advantages.
As you say; the more I work in the dark room, the more I really start to appreciate the advantages of having Photoshop around. It's truly amazing how people were able to produce these kind of almost photoshopped-like images in the darkrooms!
