Make your photos look great with Photoshop

By James Aldana


There are a lot of people that are taking pictures every day and of course, at the end of their hard work, they would like to know that they have taken some amazing pictures. But in most cases, especially if you are a beginner, your pictures will need to be modified. In this regard, Photoshop is your best bet and using it, you will never have to worry about the fact that your pictures will look bad anymore. If you are a beginner, then don't worry as there are many tutorials out there to get your claws on and you will find that after that, submitting your work to Portfolio Websites will be a breeze.

So, if you are in Photoshop already, you will need to open your desired image in it. Then head over to the tools panel and click on the magic wand tool. With it, you can make selections easily. To click and select more areas at once, you will need to hold down the shift key. If you will get anything wrong, you will only need to press control and z at the same time and your last action will be canceled. I know that you are eager of getting your work displayed on an Art Portfolio Website, but just bear in with me a little more and try to be patient.

After you made your selection, push the right mouse button go to "Layer via copy". A new layer will get to be created featuring a single color.

There will be two layers now, if you take the time to look at the layers panel. In order to have the layer hidden, next to the "Layer one" you will need to unclick the eye image. If all is ok, click the space where the eye icon could be found before making "Layer one" reappearing. After this, just have the same steps followed like when you had to choose a color so that every of the colors will have separate layers to be featured in.

Using the magic wand when you are selecting a small area is not advised, so make a new layer thus and use the text tool to rewrite the TM. The font and the color in which the TM was initially written in, will need to get changed.

Now, you need to have all of the layers hidden, but don't do that for the TM layer and the one that holds the color you wish to have the TM printed in. Then, select Merge Visible. Now all of the layers will share the same layer. If you want to know more about making your photos look great so that you can submit them to a Portfolio Website, such tutorials are your saving grace and they will help you make your photos stand out among others easily.
