This is my first effort and I'm sure that given a bit of time it would get better, I guess there are people out there that are expert at this and can blend pictures together perfectly.
What I am wondering is whether this is acceptable practice in photography.  |
First off i like what youve done in fact its given me an idea as i have a nice moon picture somewhere on my pc
I would say most people who have photoshop or similar software only use about 20% of the program, by practicing different techniques you can only get better.
I was talking to a pro photographer who had been using photoshop for years and he said he is still learning how to use it.
There was a link on this site a couple of years back that explained about sharpening images, it was sixty pages long. It made me realise just how powerful a program photoshop is. I am always looking at different tutorials and trying to improve. It beats watching tv on a cold wet night
There are some people who think this type of manipulation is totally wrong but i bet the same people dont think twice about cloning things out, like stray branches and the like.
There are competitions you can enter if you get very good at it. Have a look on photo.net there are some stunning montages on there.
