Well I have been a avid PS7 user for a long time now, mainly to do touch ups and compositions for my 3D work etc but ,ately I have been trying my hand at photo restoration and image enhacement.
I have a problem. I am trying to enhance a photo that has a reflection in it so as to try and make out the detail in the reflection.
How do I make picture like this pie on the top of this page and muffin on the bottom for example: (I cannot post links, so here it is: (www proverstka ru)
It looks like drawn thing, but I thing it was made from photo. How do I achieve smooth and nice looking picture like this from an existing picture?
What type of effects I need to apply?
I have a digital photography business and just starting out.
I have seen some photography sites that do some photoshop "eyes enhancement" to make photographs...pop.....and I am wondering how they do it and what methods they use.
They seem to make the childrens eyes iris' look crystal clear and enhance them.
click on the "inquires" link. See the picture of the kid? No way his eyes are really like this. She must photoshop a bunch of her pictures to make them pop.
Need to know if there is software available which can increase the pixels for photos already loaded onto the iMac and deleted from the camera.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a question that relates to a digital image that is of an old original B/W photograph.
The image is of an old, plain page of a book found by Police some 65 years ago, in it's orginal form the police had noticed what appeared to be indentations or very feint writing on this page and used graphite powder to highlight their findings and then went over the highlighted areas with what appears to be an early felt tip pen. This was then photographed and an image produced.
Â
The intial image itself is quite small about 400 X 400 px.
Â
It shows 5 lines of hand written characters with additional hand drawn lines.
Â
Here is an example of a close up of the 'sharp end' of the two crossed lines in the centre of the page:
Here is that image reversed:
When I examined the image in more detail I noticed that the actual characters and lines were not simply black markings but in fact had various shades ranging from grey through to black within them.
Â
I turned the image negative and it showed up what appeared to be smaller letters and numbers behind the initial blackened markings and lines. I have done some basic filtering and have managed to improve on the appearance but only a little.
Â
The questions I have are these:
Â
1. Are these real markings or are they some kind of digital noise? Most of the letters and lines on this page show signs of letters and words beneath the drawn over markings. (I have done a lot of research about micrography and such miniature writing does and did exist at the time and in fact has been around for 4000 years or more)
Â
2. Is it possible for me to 'strip away' further layers of lighter coloured pixels to sharpen the markings that appear to lie beneath the overdrawn characters and lines?
Â
3. This being so, what steps or processes can be used to achieve better clarity and hopefully a larger image.
Â
I hope I got that right and it makes at least some sort of sense
Photoshop 9.0.2
I took a Word 2003 graphical single-color (black) letterhead and copy/pasted into PS. I can see the grid lines in PS so that's cool. Now, what I want to do is to highlight (via MagicWand, I think) the outer perimeter of the logo and enhance its pixelation (is that a word?) so I can use it in an email (HTML type) as well as change its size (+/-) without altering its resolution. There are alot of lines, circles, curves etc. that appear to be (are?) connected and interconnected - except for about 6 stars and planets. [Logo is based on stars, planets, earth, moon, sun etc. - like an astronomy or solar system approach to make it pretty simple.]
So, when I've selected the MagicWand icon on the Toolbox and then select the black outer border of the logo, it appears that PS enables all of the logo - at least the connected parts - the others I'm not too sure as I can't see them 'vibrate' as I currently look at the MagicWand enabled logo. There's also some text involved - slanting up to the right and down to the right. All text is English.
how do I increase the pixel resolution of the ENTIRE logo (all stars, planets etc. even those not interconnected) and make sure that I can use the *.psd file to change the logo size but not the resolution? Or do I need to change the file to *.?.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAm looking for batch resize enhancement. I did Select All and then did Re-size, but only got re-size on the current picture. Actually, I don't think SelectAll did anything. Wonder what its there for, actually.
Adding other utilities (paid or free) to get the re-size job done is not a valid workaround. The point is to use a utility that does it all. For actions that I do not do frequently, I can never remember which tool does which thing best. It would be preferable to have one go-to tool that meets basic editing and file needs and is easy to use. I am thinking paint.net may be mostly for advanced editing.
I ended up using MS Picture Manager for this task, but in folders that need selective selections (e.g. select all pics > 2Kmb), they don't support n-to-n-selection with ctrl-shift.I had to use Explorer to copy the desired folders to a temp folder then use MS-PM to Select-All and Batch Resize; then copy back. blech. There once was a uploader tool from a website photo hosting site I had used in the past that did batch resize, but couldn't remember which or where it was.
I used %percentage reductions, maintaining aspect ratio. I can see that h x w absolute measurements might be tricky in batch mode.
i was curious as to which sharpening/color correction techniques this photographer used to result in such a perfect photo. more specifically, i'd love to learn how he managed to make the blue halter strap almost shimmer and pop out of the image and his face a beautiful, warm and rich coffee color.
i attempted to recreate his enhanced image with the original, but fell slightly short in a few areas. i did eventually manage to get a similar look by simply adjusting input levels and sharpness, but had the toughest time making his head and all the fine details on it really "pop" AND "glow".
i basically increased the black input levels a bit to saturate and bring life to the image, but that resulted in the face and halter also darkening.

There is a slight embossing with a hint of highlight, plus the shadow effect.
I'm trying to remake a picture of the new 747 Advanced, and I cant figure out how to make a nice looking reflection.
Here is the picture I'm talking about, and the picture I'm working on. I'm not actually going to deal with the reflection untill the end, but I figured I would ask now in hopes that someone would reply before I actually get to that point lmfao.
The main things I want to reflect is the wing onto the body of the plane, and the windows onto the wing.
I really want this to look professional when it's done. I'm trying to build up my portfolio, and I want to turn this into a united airlines poster.
I would like to do a reflection of sunglasses as seen here:
The typical filp verticial, does not produce the correct angle and I cant see how to achieve it.
how do i get the reflections out of the car, and get the trees to be in the reflection, also is there anyway to give the car a realistic shadow after placing it in its new background.

I have scoured the forums and tried distorting the picture but can't seem to get it right. I have attached another file showing an example of a disasterous attempt.
The third file I've attached is an example of what I am trying to achieve. I understand that the underside would have to be recreated to make it realistic, but that can just be black.

how to reflect an image?
I was taking photos for my club's badges and I thought using a green screen would be useful in editing the images later. It turns out that the green reflected off the wall and highlight some or all of the outter edge of the people photographed. This is a pretty mild example, but you can see the green bleed over into the hair especially. Listed below is an example of what I mean.
Is there any adjustments that I could do to recover the image? I'm half-skilled at photoshop, knowing enough to be dangerous, but I do pretty decent work and make it look like I know what I'm doing most of the time.

Using CS6 on Windows 7. I've got a product photo of a product with square corners and the shot is taken on a angle so that a corner is pointed out towards you with 2 sides going away from you. I've created a copy of the layer, flipped it vertically and lowered the opacity to create a reflection. I then added a layer mask to the reflection layer and then a gradient to fade out the relection to solid white on 1 side of the product. But I need to apply a gradient to the other side of the product to fade out its reflection, but when I do this, it removes the first gradient. How can I fade out both sides of my reflection?
