Did You Decide.....Live or Memorex??


Photoshop is a really powerful tool as you can attest by this image. If you looked at the original from April 1st and thought, "how did he capture that eagle flying over that red barn with such a beautiful sky with those clouds?" Well, here's how it's done. You can see that the image has multiple layers with each being added at a different time. The top is the original image without any alterations. Then we have the red barn with the white house added. The eagle is added next The next layer that is added is the sky with clouds. The clouds are given a bit of contrast and saturation to enhance them.

You may never look at a photograph again without wondering if there has been some kind of "doctoring" to it. You can rest assured that any Hollywood photo of your favorite star has been retouched. Maybe with the exception of Joan Rivers or Phyllis Diller.....they've had so much plastic surgery, retouching isn't necessary. If they'd smile their faces would crack.
