An EasyDigitals.com customer (Glenn) asked me if they could change the Cutout that is 10×20 horz to 10×20 vert. I said “Hmmm…” Then I decided to do it and record my screen so that I could share it with you. I know many of you own the Cutouts so here is the tutorial, in case you need it for changing sizes:
Topaz has a new product called Star Effects. It’s on sale until 2/15/12 for $19.95. That’s a huge savings and great price.
Well of course I had to play with this new program!
I have this picture I took a few days ago at Red Rock Canyon in Nevada. The sun was behind the mountain and as you can see by the SOOC (straight out of the camera) shot, the picture was not very impressive but I did have a little flare going on. Luckily I took it in RAW so I immediately was able to add some highlights and increase the exposure to show some detail. Then I took the photo into Photoshop and did the following tweaks with Topaz.
Topaz adjust 5>HDR> Dynamic Brightness
Topaz adjust 5>Vignette (to taste)
Topaz Star Effects>Sun Flare. In this step I also played around with the sliders until I though it looked interesting.
I hope you like my result. Please feel free to comment below.
