Good tutorial, i use a lot of these techniques as well.
The only thing where i dont agree is the resizing at
the beginning. I always work on full res., when i am
done i save it for printing and the final step before
putting a frame on it for dA photos is downsizing and
sharpening with a very small USM again.
Nevermind, a million people a million ways.

FINALLY...Someone who actually shows what things do in different pics. My friends and family tried to show me, but they never showed the advantages to using the individual tools.

Oh, and the first picture in your example has a bad angle for the distortion, should be rotated CW, or free transform it to correct the distortion of wideangle. But if you cropped it from bigger, do it on that one.

My 2 (this time 3) cents:
-Resize should be 2nd to last thing to do. All adjustments you make in PS increase noise in the picture and resize helps to get rid of them. So don't resize it too early.
-Why sharpen after resize, and unsharp mask at the end? Unsharp mask is an adjustable form of sharpening. Knowing this, sharpening at the start is not only not necessary, but a bad choice.
-I preferr levels to brightness.

- The reason I like to resize early is because then I can see the the adjustments I'm making on the actual size of the photo and not something that I'm viewing at, say, 25%. It's aslo simply because it's easier to work with. To remove noise, I usually use a program that automatically removes it from the picture.
- Sharpen after resize again because its easier to work with, and I see exactly how sharp it's going to be in the final picture. I like to use a combination of the sharpening tool and the unsharp mask, because I find the unsharp mask does not sharpen it quite enough in some instances (like I said in the tutorial, you don't have to do it this way). Most recently though I've been finding it better to use the unsharp mask first, and sharpen tool very last.

I discovered this effect a few months ago:
Duplicate your chosen layer and set it to overlay.
Apply a diffuse filter (Filter > Stylize > Diffuse) and set the radio button to Anistrophic.
This works extremely well in photos where there are natural curves, it eccentuates them and gives it an old-style fantasy effect.
Fur, hair and clouds are perfect examples, photos with sharp lines and sinuous shapes won't have much effect.
Make sure you're working with a small image, a diffuse filter won't look any different after being applied to an A3 sized document.
You can see a prime example of how well this effect works on this deviation.

Nice that your sharing this info... most people think the images come out of the camera looking this way...but as most will find out...editing can be your best friend...and sometimes your worst nightmare! Great article

Wonderful tutorial - I never upload anything non-computer generated (be it a sketch, photo, print) without first ringing it through photoshop. Another tool that is *incredibly* helpful (especially for people who want to get results really fast) is the "Levels" tool, in the "Adjust" menu. Anyway, I enjoyed learning a few more tricks to add to my routine!

What's OC, besides being a series on TV?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Open Canvas. I use that program often, but I NEVER see any tutorials on it. Out of the two, I enjoy OC more than PS.

Feel free to write a tutorial for OC ... I would be interested in seeing one

Lol, maybe once I learn everything about it, I will. XD I never thought anyone would be interested in what _I_ do, so this is definitely new to me. Sure my friends love my work, but I can't say I've ever gotten many requests at all.
