Dizzy Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Offer to make me a brew too and I'll come round and show you how to do it sometime... or maybe you could make SD a brew if you don't trust me Sounds a bit complicated but honesty it is really easy especially if someone shows you how rather than you struggling with the online help and instructions ... they are a pain After 10 minutes you would be and expert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingnut Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Yer on Diz. It would be great if you could pop around sometime. And Sue too, I've got two knees.

Wingnut Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I was looking for a course just after the New Year. One started at Priestley colledge, but that was for intermeidiates. And I need to start at the begining, so any help I can get would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P J Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I like the photoshop help section idea Wingy. Could use it myself tbh. Try this site for photography tips Wingy, it has a load of helpful advice and tips http://www.digital-photography-school.com/digital-photography-tips-for-beginners There is a post production section too with tons of photoshop tips.

Wingnut Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Cheers PJ, I'll look into it. The photo of the chaffinch was asking a bit much really, but it was the best way I knew of asking how to improve something. But I did get lots of usefull advice from it, as it got me started in useing things that I didn't know about. I also took a photo the same as Dizzy with the blue sky where the foreground came out very dark. I took another one of the same shot and focussed on the dark backround by half depressing the shutter button as you suggested. Then took the shot at the correct angle. I got a much better result by following your advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 That was a great bit of tutorial Dizzyand Sue, nice work on the chaffinch. You 2 could be the camera clubs Photoshop gurus. I wouldn't go that far (well not for me PJ) there's still absolutely loads that I have to learn about photoshop yet. Trial, error and endless hours of playing about tweaking and morphing photos is getting me there though Wingy.... no probs and I'll give you a Dizzy lesson....but as long as I really don't have to sit on yer knee.. I might hurt you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Durnim Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Thanks for the compliments and offer of tea Wingnut, algy and PJ Callands, to be honest I have been using Photoshop for years now for various projects, however no mater how many times they update the software with some fantastic effects and filters, I still tend use the same filters for the simple results I need. Colleagues of mine use the ?Droplet? command quite a lot and as you know this can save a lot of time doing repetitive tasks, such as colour mode, filters, resizing etc, this would be a worthwhile skill to learn. To be honest it is not the software that is the hardest thing to use, you first must have the fun element, which is creativity and imagination and lots of practice.

Anything goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Durnim Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Thanks Dizzy. Talking of hints and tips, here is a link that will be of help when practicing with Photoshop and using the 'Droplet' command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Thanks for the link SD. I'll certainly be having a play around with droplets later as I've never used them before. Nice one PJ has set up a new section on the photo's of Warrigton section called "Post production questions and answers" for everything to do with photoshop and other such things. Might be worth copying and pasting some of your previous advice and tips onto there too. PS.... PJ when I saw the new topic title I thought it was something to do with 'posting' comments on the forum Durh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
