I’ve always found it amazing what can be done to images these days. I’ve seen some seriously inspiring adverts on billboards and magazines around the world. The internet is full of clever deceptive images edited in Photoshop and other such programs.

I thought it would be cool to learn how this is all done.  I’ve used Photoshop to create images for websites and to edit my 3D works in post production. But I never knew just how much fun it is to edit photo’s and make them into a new reality!

Ok, I’ve created a new page to show off my progress in learning this wonderful process, you can visit it here.

There are only a couple of images there ATM, but I plan on adding more later.

The unfortunate thing at the moment, is that I don’t have a decent camera, so all the images I am taking on the one I have are JPG format. That, and the problem of auto focus and bad lighting mean that I may have to find stock photo’s to edit for professional looking edits. But at least I can practice for now.

A great cheap resource for high quality stock photos is www.fotolia.com They offer relatively cheap stock photos that you can download and use for almost any purpose.

Keep coming back as I plan on doing a lot more of this fun!
