Hi. I just wanna ask if what Photoshop are you using..is AAE CS4? Just email me
i’m an amateur photographer and thanks for these great tips
klarizamonterde,
I use CS4 right now, but the tutorials listed here were created with older versions.
That’s all great wallpapers. Thanks for sharing…
Amazing tutorials. Short and better than many books on such effects.
How can I do all these effects. Any particular software for this. If yes pls mention it.
Roop,
Yes, Photoshop.
“How to break sunlight through the clouds” is great!
Licking on some of the tutorials either comes up with a ‘can’t find’ problem, or it pulls up a ‘take a survey’ box that I can’t get past. The few tutorials that I’ve seen have been excellent but I can’t navigate this site without serious issues.
*clicking
lol
tonedru,
The issue is that this post is 3.5 years old and some of the tutorials and site’s that were linked to are no longer available.
Very beautiful examples, I intend to bookmark this site!
There is something to say for all the examples, but I like the hand tinting one, ( Old fashioned, hand-tinted effect) only because I like working with old images.
