After finishing the three hours of post, I said to Nirtan, "Nobody will ever appreciate how much work it took to get this to here."
"And that's how it should be", she said.
All of the black was carefully painted around EVERYTHING in order to make it look crisp, like my camera was fast enough to stop the action.
The bird was all fuzzy because of how fast it was moving. The window needed washing and there were all kinds of garbage and unwanted reflections on it. There were spider webs all over the top of photo blocking the reflections I wanted to preserve. The colors on the hummer got bumped up locally to avoid adding noise to the image.
And nobody noticed! Success!
I know this concept well because of being a carpenter for fifty years. When the work is really good, nobody notices anything!
You have validated my efforts!
I think you'd find a few pieces you like in my Artistic Works Album.... Not that I want to self-promote... But if you're into editing, I think there are a few works in there you would appreciate ;)
Thanks for inviting me to visit yours, again. I have gained a new appreciation for the work they represent.
I also have Corel Painter, but find Photoshop much easier to use. I've been tinkering with both practically since they came on the market. Eventually, though, Photoshop surpassed Painter in most ways.... The biggest downside to Photoshop [besides the exorbitant cost nowadays], IME, is its demands on the computer. It demands a lot more memory and processing power than Corel Painter. I use them on the platform most suited for that type of extensive editing and creative work -- a Mac. While I have used both versions on a PC, they just don't compare in performance when it comes to intricate, creative pieces. Also don't use the most recent version of Photoshop, though I own every version that ever came out.... I find no need for the additional bloat and resource demand to create the artwork I do, nor for the simpler editing of photos, with the newest versions of Photoshop. Painter, on the other hand, I have the most recent version installed and occasionally used. The other thing is that Photoshop has a lot more filters available for it -- both native and third party. They make editing photos a lot more speedy =)
Anywho..... Best of luck with your endeavors =) If you needed any resources to help you along, feel free to ask... I have a public resources list still up [on ipernity] left over from when I ran a group for digital art.... I think you may find some useful sites in the "Tutorials" section. Initially they may be geared toward texturing, but most of the sites have more resources and "how tos" on them involving other editing aspects.
