More Photoshop magic

Today I want to show you something cool I did with Photoshop. I really love this program, it is a must for every photographer out there. Last year I shot our model Eddie as he sat in my class...it was a pretty decent shot;



As I looked thru my photos recently and came upon this one I realized I could improve on it a little bit. So, I opened it up in Photoshop CS4 and took Eddie out of the background and put him in a blue one. I chose blue because his shirt also has that color and it would anchor the picture better. Then I simply smoothed out his skin, and sharpened it a bit more, focusing on his eyes and cropped it a bit tighter. The result is this:



Not bad eh? Now Eddie can download it and use it for his MySpace, or give it to his mom to post on the refrigerator door...hehehe. I love Photoshop, don't you?
