The Underwater Lounge

Welcome back everyone! For this week’s tip I have decided to show another lesson sample off the home page of Underwater Photoshop. I am in the process of re-rendering the example Flash movies for faster upload times so users with slow connections can enjoy them too, and figured I should just test them right here in the Underwater Lounge. This weeks lesson shows how easy it is to create a very professional looking artistic frame in which to showcase both your underwater and topside images. The technique is easy and fun to do with limitless possibilities. Enjoy!

I have a new column in June/July edition of Scuba Diver Australasia, one of Asia’s coolest dive magazines titled the Photo Shop. The article features a tutorial on how to sharpen images using the High Pass Filter. You can view the tutorial by logging on to www.scubadiveraa.com and follow along as you work on one of your own images. Check it out, you’ll see it on their home page on the right hand side. I have decided to include it here as Episode 2 since the video is highly compressed and quite small on the magazine’s website for bandwidth reasons. Click on the image you see here or one of the links below to learn how to sharpen your underwater images with the High Pass filter. Enjoy!

Hello and welcome to the first show! In this episode, we are going to take a look at one way to quickly and effectively correct an underexposed image. This is a great technique to use when just starting out in Photoshop and is also quite effective for experienced Photoshop users and shooters with lots of images that don’t merit a full blown session of exposure adjustment using the Curves or Exposure commands of Adobe Photoshop. While the technique is quite easy to learn, advanced users will appreciate the unique way the Apply Image Command is used to quickly create an effective layer mask for optimum exposure correction in an image. Enjoy and don’t be surprised at what you might just learn. Stay tuned for some more exciting news and video tutorials real soon!
