(Viewed 736 times) Skye_Ann  Location: Kitchener, Ontario Gender: Female I seem to have Irritable Owl Syndrome...  |  |  Well here goes... < on 1/7/2012 1:23 AM >   Heya All. Alright, I'm not "New" To either Photography or UE, but I am new to editing my photos... So if anyone has any specific tips they'd like to give me - I'd love to receive your opinions. Thanks! Also any comments on my photography would be appreciated. *All Below photos aren't edited. click to view click to view click to view click to view click to view click to view click to view My Blog; https://historyindecay.blogspot.com/ Weirdlig  Gender: Female  |  Re: Well here goes... <Reply # 1 on 1/7/2012 2:13 AM >   The photos are great, I just suggest getting them level. One thing I obsess over in Photoshop is fixing any slight angle I accidentally took the shot at, but you don't have to get super anal about it. Image-->Rotate canvas-->Arbitrary From there you can rotate by .1 or 1 or 10 or whatever. You just need to crop out the blank space and through this you will lose some small amount of your image. http://www.flickr....irdlingphotography swizzler  Location: Ontario Gender: Male  |  Re: Well here goes... <Reply # 2 on 1/7/2012 4:44 AM >   Posted by Weirdling The photos are great, I just suggest getting them level.

Image-->Rotate canvas-->Arbitrary It's much easier to use the edit > transform, or even better filter > distort > lens correction. With the latter, you can correct for perspective, distortion, CA, angle, etc. Canon EOS 5DMKII | EF 24-105 f/4L | EF 17-40 f/4L | EF 50mm f/1.8 II | Yashica Electro 35 GS The Seeker  Location: Greater Toronto Area Gender: Male Time's Person of the Year for 2006  |  |  Re: Well here goes... <Reply # 3 on 1/7/2012 4:48 AM >   Posted by swizzler It's much easier to use the edit > transform, or even better filter > distort > lens correction.

I just don't have the option--depending on what version of Photoshop you've got, your method may have to change. I use Photoshop CS, one of the oldest people still even use, and it doesn't have lens correction available. BTW, what can you do with the transform option? I've used skew a few times but it seems to be hit or miss, sometimes it just goes wrong. http://www.flickr....irdlingphotography Cullivan  Location: Southern NY Gender: Male  |  Re: Well here goes... <Reply # 5 on 1/9/2012 4:15 AM >   What sort of sharpening are you using? Also, I would suggest that you do most of your editing after you crop and resize (if you aren't already). Definitely use photoshop's resizing to reach UER's maximum resolutions instead of letting the forum do it (again, if you aren't already). And just a random tip, I've found that Auto Contrast occasionally works wonders for UE shots. It's very hit or miss, but it can't hurt to try. edit: A side note on Image Rotation- you can use the Ruler tool to trace a line along one of the lines in the photo, and it will automatically set the "Arbitrary" rotation value to whatever number is needed in order to make the line you drew perfectly straight.

I'd go "meh" for the others, as they're mostly representations of textures which I personally am not a big fan of. but enjoying finding messages in photos as I am, I cast my vote for the aforementioned three. also, if they're SOOC, even better. -------------------------------------------------- - the light at the end of the tunnel is a train. ahhntzville  Location: Boston  |  Re: Well here goes... <Reply # 7 on 2/2/2012 5:03 PM >   Processing is fine, but it's much better to get the photos reasonably straight to begin with. Your first photo is shot really crooked, so by the time you stretch/skew/whatever it to straighten it, you'll lose a lot around the edges of the image. 3 is also very crooked, and 5 is shot at a weird angle and doesn't really have a subject.

You just need to crop out the blank space and through this you will lose some small amount of your image. - ruler tool - draw a line following something you know that was straight - then do the above Doing that will automatically enter the amount the canvas needs to be rotated in order to be straight according to the line that you drew. Works every time for me.
