Quicklinks for Thursday, January 22, 2009
A plethora of photography links for you on this fine day:
- Abduzeedo.com has a 40 minute retouching tutorial that takes you from start to finish on the retouching of a fashion shot.
- If you didn’t learn enough from that, Photoshop Support has a few more videos for you to check out on skin retouching.
- For those of you now using Photoshop CS4, Yuri Arcurs has some tips on how to optimize your settings to get the best performance out of the software. However, some of these tips may end up being unnecessary in the near future as imaging-resource.com is reporting that Adobe is planning an update to CS4 soon.
- Five FWD have a fun video in which they compare film and digital prints, big ones. 17 meter ones to be precise. They take a look at how a a 12 megapixel Nikon D700 stacks up against the same shot using 35mm film using massive enlargements. I have to get myself one of those printers (and gallons of ink) and then I can decorate my apartment building with my shots!
- Simon Hoegsberg has printed the world’s longest photograph.
A few from Digital Photography School:
- This article gives advice on what you might need to do to start freelancing for your local newspaper.
- Fashion photographer Adriana Curcio gives seven important tips for aspiring photogs.
- Lastly, more tips. This time it’s Chase Jarvis dishing out some tips. The most interesting part of it for me is his commentary on the creative gap, an idea I’m going to have to mull over a bit. I had never heard this expression of it before and I like the idea. It’s something that I (and probably most people) already do, but it’s nice to have it spelled out so that you can consciously make the effort to bridge that creative gap.
