See behind the scenes of digital retouching and get your photos manipulated. Leave a comment if you're feeling adventurous or have something to say. I do bite sometimes.

MacBook + Air Conditioner = Poor audio. Sorry ’bout that!

I have a crazy week ahead of me so my next post will be delayed.
In the meantime, watch Internet Predicted In 1968 and other spellbinding videos on one of my favorite tech blogs.

If you don’t know what dodging and burning is or if you don’t know how to do it non-destructively, you absolutely have to watch the following video tutorial. This tip is truly invaluable.
Photoshop Killer Tips,
Non-Destructive Dodge And Burn by Matt Kloskowski
So, you don’t actually use the Dodge and Burn tool if you want to dodge and burn. Now, don’t you find that funny?
More Happy,

Colorizing black and white photos is oodles of fun. The technique is pretty simple but it takes some time, patience and imagination to get it right.
Here is one I just finished. Mouse over for the before:

If you want to learn the technique, watch this Metacafe video clip by Uber Animator.

Photo retouching isn’t something that is done only to pictures of Angelina Jolie. Brad Pitt needs it just as much. Sure, guys don’t need blush, lip gloss and eye shadow, but we, too, come with human imperfections, like wrinkles, baggy eyes, hair loss, big noses and thin lips, just to name a few.
I get pictures of women for retouching far more often than pictures of men. I don’t know if that’s because of my demographic or just because women tend to be more vain eager to look good. Anyway, sometimes guys do send me their photos which is nice for a change.
Mouse over for the before:
The photo was also cropped and rotated slightly, which the mouse over doesn’t show. Here is the original before Photoshop and here is the after.

Photoshop: Face Retouch by Elinli
The way she works is very different from the way I work but the end result is close to what I would have ended up with.

Wasn’t that rad?

I just got an important note and thought I would share it with you all.

Dear Buikhu,
It has come to my attention that your blogging schedule has been quite erratic, even completely random, for far too long. As you should know, I do not tolerate such behavior, and therefore, I have no other choice but to enforce a proper schedule, as follows:
New manipulations: Mondays and Thursdays, due no later than 1700 (5 pm) Pacific Time.
Other related posts: Saturdays, due no later than 1700 (5 pm) Pacific Time.
Effective immediately.
Sincerely,
Your inner clock
