Crappy Photo? Cheat Like Hell!
Posted on Tuesday, June 30th, 2009
I recently had the opportunity to enter a photo contest where the subject was “Big”. The photo I wanted to enter was an old shot of my two boys on their first day of school, carrying two giant apples (ala Photoshop) for their respective teachers. The trouble was, that photo was taken with my first digital camera, the Agfa ePhoto 1680. Talk about blury, noisey, contrasty, and every other annoying problem digital brought to photography in its early days.
The solution? Cheat like hell. Using a combination of Photoshop filters, actions and techniques I am able to; if not improve, then to hide the imperfections.
Before - After
Next time you need to go stealth, turn to Photoshop and CHEAT LIKE HELL!
