Photoshop

Lets see, some of you who knows me well enough would say "Terry is a photographer, he knows how to take great pics!". Well, I don't think so and just consider myself as an amateur unlike those who holds and wields their SLR camera fitted with a speed light Flash on it without knowing how to operate the cam or the engineering behind the machine calling themselves pro. Personally I despise those who likes to Show Off! On the other hand, I really admire those who really have the heart to learn and explore taking pictures.

Talking about photoshop, I know how to open file and crop pictures with it only. That's why I use ACDSee insead of Adobe Photoshop. Its much easier and simpler. Usually, I would seek for help when I face more sophisticated tasks. Thanks to me, I lost all my reliable sources :(
Up until recently I was forced to learn how to operate and utilize the tools in Photoshop. So i start Adobe Photoshop 7.0.


The main thing i learned is only how to extract object from a photo. Much to be learned...

Just like this photo...Some guy here posing as a SWAT team with the Green background. Ready to extract him out and put him in some combat like background.






Okay, I had a Cosplay session at LT's with his full gear of SWAT ops gadgets. Fullly equipted with a Kevlar Vest (Bullet proof jacket), Pistol, Rifle etc. It was fun thou, but then the pictures are abit blurred.

Okay, the main thing here I'm tying to say is I learned how to use photoshop to make these brochure...


Few Raw photos taken and the using the magic wand tool to extract them out. At 1st, its kinda fun to learn and play with something new cuz the effects were impressing. But once you do it for like 30 objects, omg...sien dou sei ah! hahahaha... It simply turns fun into boredom.
