"Contrast Control" Tutorial
UPDATED 11/4/04

So, you've got an image of a polished aluminum aircraft in the bright sunlight, & half the pic is blown out.
Here's the Tut I used to try to fix the pic.

Selecting areas in PhotoShop
UPDATED 10/24/04

There are many ways to make selections, & they can be really difficult to get right if you only use the "automatic" methods. If you're having problems getting a good selection of a large, solid object like a car, then try this.

Need to remove a background from something?

I shot a '37 Willys last night. It seemed to be too pretty to just leave it in the parking lot! So I made a background for it.
If you're having trouble understanding what a Layer Mask does, this might help.

PS Blend modes can make a shot out of "nothing"!

This is simple stuff when you know the "secrets"! Shoot some skies with clouds, trees that would look good in the background, etc., & save them in a file... you’ll be glad that you did!

Out of Gamut: Thoughts on a Sharpening Workflow

This is a great sharpening overview that has something for everyone!

Example of Layer Masks for detailed changes. See my posts.
It started on this thread where I posted the workflow: ***/// Creating this in CS...
Then finished in this one with an example: Airport runway shoot
Layer mask in Elements 4.0

New to layers?
Layers, Layers, Layers (Part 1 for beginners)

EXIF: EXIF info can be important when you have a problem image to ask questions for us to answer. Try to include it when you post an image because sometimes we can find things in the image & the EXIF that you haven't thought to mention.
In Photoshop this can easily be done by using "Save As", instead of "Save For Web" which gives a slightly smaller file size, but really doesn't tell us anything.
