i’ve had photoshop for years but never really used it outside of basic contrast and color correction. generally my rule of thumb has always been if i couldn’t produce the results in a dark room then i wouldn’t do it in photoshop but now that i am exploring the program for non-photography projects i’m trying to brush up my skills a bit.

All of the camera stuff will eventually hit you, and you won’t even have to think about it. I was terrified that I had made a huge mistake (and a bad, financial investment!) when I first started trying to learn all of the technical side of photography, but eventually, it just stopped being an issue and I started getting what I wanted out of the shots, in less fiddle time. We’ve all known for years that you have the compositional/expressive stuff down, and that’s 99% of photography anyway.

Imagine taking a bunch of clear overhead viewgraph blanks and making a single picture by drawing some on each one and then stacking them
That’s beginning layers
Digitally you can make them more or less opaque and other cool stuff!

I like the diptych and at first I thought the bar, the space, was too wide. But not now.
