Before and After Photoshop pictures!

More proof that the Digital Darkroom is every bit as much an art form as the original, chemical darkroom of old.

The creativity doesn't end with the photo but only begins. And many people, including myself, only have so much to go around. It can be quite exhausting contemplating all the possibilities for a particular photograph.

every bit? nah. the results are far more impressive, but there just isn't quite the sexy romance of it.
 
I've recreated a dead kids entire face in Photoshop, talk about a really sad day at work. He was car surfing. The picture I was given, he was wearing a baseball helmet with a front grill, I had to remove the grill and recreate his entire face, for the front of his funeral brochure.

Yeah, PS is quite powerful. The most that I've done is recreate part of a mountain range in alpenglow because I needed to take out a pine tree that was right smack dab in the middle in the foreground.
 
The power of technology..we can make orange lights blue!

I kid. I don't have photoshop, so seeing shopped photos are always a pleasure 🙂
 
The problem with Photoshop is that you can't create a montage of someone just pointing and clicking around and then make it seem dramatic, while darkroom montages give it that "air" of superiority.
 
so now make the thread about what you did to achieve these photos 🙂

I can't believe the difference in some of them, like the chicago lights pics!

Acutally, the darkroom *does* require more skill. There's no undo, and there's no history palette. There's no save point.

This comment brought to you by a guy who'd be lucky to find his way out of a dark room, and uses photoshop for a living.
 
fuzzy, very impressive (although I prefer the before macro shots). Would you mind sharing what you did to make the pics look so much better? Also how did you learn photoshop? Is there some site, some tutorial? Or did you just learn it by tinkering with it? What monitor do you use for photo editing? LCD or CRT? IF LCD, which one?

Also, do you have an pano shots that are larger than 3200x1200 pixels? Im always looking to add to my dual screen desktop background collection
