It’s been a long time since I posted a Photoshop Tutorial here on my blog. I think this tutorial is the first one for year 2010. Actually, this tutorial was already planned to be posted earlier, but I wasn’t able to work on it because of my migration from old to a new hosting account. But of course, the delay was worth it because I got a better blogging experience right now.

Anyway, the purpose of this tutorial is to help you build or create a better or more realistic feel on your photo. This tutorial is perfect for Still Life photography, and not for Portraits. And you should be glad because this tutorial is very easy.

What you need:

• Adobe Photoshop CS+
• A nice photo
• Creative mind (optional)

The first thing you must do is to open up Adobe Photoshop and open the image file you want to edit.

Next is to create a Black and White layer on the image.

Create Black and White Layer - Create a More Realistic Look on Your Photo

You can create a Black and White layer by just selecting the “Create a new fill or adjustment layer” button below the Layers Pallet. Please make sure that the created Black and White layer is at the top of the Background layer.

As you notice, my blog’s background design contains my eyes (of course), my blog name, blog tagline, rays and huge splatter stamps. Splatter is one of my favorite brushes that I use in designing graphics in Adobe Photoshop. Why? Because it’s so cool. It’s like a dripped paint, like a blood from a huge monster or massive tears of a dinosaur (dinosaurs cry? LOL).

Anyway, I want to share some cool splatter Photoshop brushes. You can use these Photoshop brushes in different versions of Adobe Photoshop.

Nature is one of my favorite subjects in photography (like my my mom’s garden flowers). And as of now, nature is indeed in a critical stage, where different changes occur. Like the climate change, where the normal cycle of weather shifts into a new and extremely bad cycle that caused a lot of trouble.

If we continue destroying nature, then, we’re destroying our lives too. So, stop destroying our mother nature.

I’ve been a Photoshop user since I started graphic designing. I never used a photo editing web app. My younger sister, Keith Anne, loves editing her photos using different web apps available on the net. But Rollip.com (a new photo-editing web app) has an interesting thing that grabbed my attention — professional photo effects.

If you’re a photographer, you should know that Adobe Photoshop is a great tool for post-processing your photos. Adjusting colors, the tones, everything, use Adobe Photoshop. But in the web? You can use nothing. The available photo-editing apps on the web can’t be used as a post-processing tool for photographers because they only do simple effects. But now, Rollip.com requested me to review their app that offers professional photo effects – which sounds awesome.
