CS4 Help Please- Blur & Darkening?
I'm a photoshop beginner, and have CS4. There are so many books and online tutorials, with different ways of doing everything it's overwhelming. I want to be a professional photographer someday, so would like to know the most accurate ways, not the cutting corner ways, for editing. Right now I would like to know the right way for blurring so I can add depth to field. Also, I haven't got reflectors yet and made the mistake of shooting during a day with direct sunlight, I know you can darken certain areas of photos somehow, so I'm hoping on some of these images to use that so there doesn't appear to be shadows all over her face. Her is one of the pictures I'm hoping to use spot darkening on- http://i22.Photobucket.com/albums/b334/TrEys_BaBy/shelby647ed1.jpg
I want to know if this can be done. Thanks!
I do know that the most accurate way to add depth is through the actual lens, as I have done so with many pictures but would like more of a dramatic look.
1st off - "the most accurate ways" of getting depth of field is through REAL lens with a low f-stop...NOT Photoshop.
2nd - to lighten shadows or "less bright" areas, just 'Layer Via Copy' and brighten the shadows, and then erase the parts of the photo that don't need it.
A more dramatic look can be achieved with a lens like the 50mm f/1.8 or f/1.4
