Photoshop Tutorial #1


Shinkendo:  
A martial arts style of swordsmanship



ISO: 640
Focal Length: 155 mm
Exposure: 1/1250
Aperature: f/5.0
Lens: EF75-300 mm
Camera: Canon EOS Rebel T5i



Here is a photo I recently took of a woman (yes, a woman - so cool) who practices Shinkendo. 
Can you guess what used to be in the green area (besides the obvious trees)?


* Answer:   A large purple colored tent and patrons walking around


So, how did I mask a large purple tent and remove extraneous people from my photo?  Through Photoshop.


It was quite easy really. However, do you get to thinking that Photoshop is always easy to use, if you have never used it before and are planning on buying it for the first time, it is actually quite difficult to master. 



What you do:
  1. Load Photoshop on your computer
  2. Upload desired photo into Photoshop
  3. Click on the Spot Healing Healing Tool
  4. Click on the photo, right click with your mouse and drag
  5. Repeat until you have removed all extraneous variables from your photo
  6. Save to your computer and voila!



Stay tuned for before and after photos on my next post.
