excellent tutorial! although... my digicamera seems to polarize by itself without any filters. weird.

lukeroberts In reply to AndyKlinger [2005-08-11 13:28:12 +0000 UTC]

really? That's good. Maybe camera companys are starting to just make lenses polarised by default. That would be cool

AndyKlinger In reply to lukeroberts [2005-08-11 15:02:38 +0000 UTC]

that would be. the weird part is, the camera is like three years old.

Thanks It is a very useful tip. I'm trying to keep these tutorials as simple as i can, so that even beginners in Photoshop can use them and improve their photos. So i'm trying to keep the language and explainations clear and simple, and use example images as much as i can. Thanks for the feedback

Thanks I don't know if i'll keep doing one every night. That takes up too much time. But i'll try to do one at least every week. But i wanted to do a couple, just to get it started.

I use it quite a bit. Although my wall type photos don't need it, it's useful when there's sky in the shot

crystalfalls [2005-07-10 19:21:23 +0000 UTC]

Your tutorials are brilliant for a relatively computer-illiterate person like me!

As soon as I get a proper version of photoshop, I'm trying out your tricks.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

lukeroberts In reply to crystalfalls [2005-07-11 12:31:14 +0000 UTC]

I've tried to make them as easy as i could. I want them to be accessible to fairly computer-illiterate people and people who have never used photoshop before. I also try to give a bit of background to the effect and why it's useful and when it's useful, which some tutorials don't seem to do.

I'm glad you're enjoying them
