Transforming a Boring Photo Into a Dramatic One With Photoshop http://ift.tt/2tWQ11Y The mere mention of image manipulation may make some photographers cringe, but there’s no denying that some skill with Photoshop can enable you to completely transform an image. In this 20 minute tutorial, Serge Ramelli walks through the process of manipulating a ‘boring’ image and turning it in to a dramatic one by transforming the lighting and sky in the scene. The art of landscape photography is one that requires patience, commitment, and hard work. However, there are times when your final image doesn’t quite match the memory you have in your mind. Or, less romantically, maybe you just want to make a more epic image to share on social media. Whatever your intentions, understanding how to improve the lighting of images with targeted adjustments and how to composite separate images in to a final art piece is a worthwhile skill. Here is the before and after of Ramelli’s image, which was taken at Saint Paul de Vence in the South of France. In the video, Ramelli shows how to fully replace the sky of an image and alter the lighting of the scene to match it. He also artificially lights a lamp in the image and creates a glow to bring life to a building that was previously empty and unlit.
