Creating photo effects etc

Hey guys,

For a couple years now I have been using Adobe lightroom, mainly out of intimidating photoshop features (ie-difficulty) And you know, just playing around with the basics; contrasts, blacks, saturations, colour balances but have recently been looking into Photoshop tutorials on how to create effects in photoshop. Just playing around now and thought I would share the following page;

http://veerle-v2.duoh.com/blog/comments ... ge_effect/ - This shows how to create a nice vintage effect.

There are countless other tutorials on the net... so feel free to share them here... always looking for new effects and whatnot!

I am hoping in future to use photoshop a lot more (more control over editing and all that) to get solid results, Lightroom is so user friendly and easy but of course perhaps a little restricting in what you can do unless you get extremely technical with it.

Agar, pm me if you need a hand with Photoshop. It's my job, monday to friday ;) :D

Lightroom is getting better and better, ie: for bulk changes and effects to numerous shots. I personally prefer photoshop for professional work. Each shot needs individual work, not across the board general settings.

Wow, I really like the first and fifth photos. What did you do to the fifth photo? It kinda looks like you put a black and white effect in the background, but I don't know much about photo editing much.

EDIT: Oh, it's the vintage effect thing... I just clicked on the first link and read the rest of the thread while it was loading. =(

It's awesome though.

Midget, I work on all my photo's individually with photoshop. I don't use 'effects', I use my knowledge of photoshop, which isn't hard, because I do it monday to friday for a living. :D :lol:
