Bass Studio

Yet another shot of my brother in law in his studio. I used Topaz Adjust's BW Effects for this processing, and I added grain to it. I also darkened it up a little to give it a bit more 'atmosphere'. I really like the result.

Thanks so much for all your kind comments! I am enjoying browsing all of your photos again. I apologize if I can't comment on everyone's tonight, but I'll be working on some each time I am able to get on line and post. :)

Please excuse my posting 2 images today - still trying to catch up!

This is another from my brother in law's studio shots that I did at Thanksgiving. This is actually Topaz Adjust's BW Effects. It is the Harsh Blue effect. While I don't like his shirt in the shot, I think the effect does some interesting things to his hand and guitar.

Studio, Selective Color

Thank you so much for all your comments on my Blue Guitar yesterday, and for the warm welcome back! So nice to 'see' you all again.

This isn't the most fabulous of shots, but I like it because I learned a lot on it. I used Topaz Adjust's BW Effects. It took, literally, 6 tries and 2 days to get the selective color right. The main problem was the program kept shutting down (memory error message - not sure if this means there was not enough memory to run the amount of selective color brushing I was doing, or what). And the other problem was getting the selective color brushing right - brush the right size so I didn't overlap any brushes or miss any areas. At any rate, while it was a long, frustrating process, I also learned a lot.
