Add Depth of Field to Perk up Dull Photos in Adobe PhotoShop

admin — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 14:03:05 +0000

Sometimes there’re too many staffs in a photo, but you just want to perk up some of them, for solving this problem,one important rule to make something prominent is actually "Isolation".

You can focus the readers’ attention just by isolating the subject of an image. While there are a lot of ways to do this, in some cases the best way is through depth of field.

This photo is a view from Prague on the Charles Bridge , the band is playing some music. For example, if you want to highlight someone (that is to say, at the same time make others not attract the gaze of people), say, the man sits on the most left side. The following are the steps which make it possible:

1. Use the Lasso or pen tool to select the subject

Take the pen tool and create an outline around the subject to build a mask. You can do this with the Lasso or the Pen tool, either gives basically the same results.

I like using the Lasso tool, so it works like this:

2. Go Select > Inverse

Now I’ve isolated the subject, then I simply Select > Inverse, after this I can apply some careful blurring.

3. Filter > Blur or Filter > Gaussian Blur and then set the amount of blure you need to make your point.

Be careful with the blurring because you may want the viewer to still understand what the background is. So don’t blow it away. This is probably the most natural looking technique for isolating the subject without calling attention to itself. The reader sees the subject unhindered, and continues with the story rather than wondering what was done to the background.

4. Hide Selection

Then, I almost finish my work. Look! It works rather well!

Variations on this technique would be to darken/lighten the fore or background.

Here’s a swell trick: while the background is selected, slide on up to the Hue/Saturation dialog, and de-saturate the background to grayscale. You may get a even more amazing result.

Just try it out !

Dreamweaver 8.0 Tutorial — How to Use Layers to Lay out Web Pages

admin — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 13:00:00 +0000

When laying out web pages, sometimes you may find it is difficult to assign an absolute position of the inserted objects. In this case, you need a new tool to help yourself—“layer”. In Dreamweaver8.0, a layer is an HTML page element–specifically, a div tag, or any other tag–that has an absolute position assigned to it. Layers can contain text, images, or any other content that you can place in the body of an HTML document.

Now let us learn how to use layers to lay out web pages.

Step1 insert layers

Insert some layers. Open a html, and set focus to the position that needed to be inserted layers.

Left-click the “INSERT” menu, and select [layout objects]–[layer].

Step2 set properties

Set the layer’s properties. Select a layer, then you will see the properties panel. Here you can set the layer’s position, height, width, number, visibility, background color and background image.

Step3 insert objects

Now the layers are ready. We can insert objects into layers. Set focus to the layer, and select [INSERT]–[IMAGE]. Open the “select image source” dialog box, and choose an appropriate image. Left-click the “OK” button, and insert the image.

Set focus to the right of the image, and put your words.

Step4 select and adjust layers

You can select two or more layers by press key. To adjust the size of layers, you can fill the correct number in the “width” and “height” box.

To move layers by dragging, you can drag the selection handle of the last selected layer.

To move one pixel at a time, you can use the arrow keys. Hold down the key while pressing an arrow key to move the layer by the current grid snapping increment.

Now some layers are in your web pages, making the whole pages more beautiful. The last picture is as below.
