Adjusting background distortion
Last week, we awarded ImageAlign Pro our Plug-in of the Month award. That's a tool that'll help you adjust your images to correct lens distortion. But at $199, it's not for everyone. This week, we show you a few simple tricks to fix up your own images using some simple transforms in Photoshop.
Placing a logo on an irregular surface with displacement maps
We're going to purposely distort one image to make it fit on another. Our goal is simple: we want to put the Connected Photographer logo on a jacket, making it look like it was silk screened onto the jacket originally. This technique, which makes use of a technique called displacement maps, is ideal for any situation where you want an image to conform to an irregular surface.
Frame Fit will fit your budget
No one ever said photography would be cheap, but at least there are some ways we can keep the cost down. One of our friends recently turned us on to an online merchant that sells frames for pretty low prices. This merchant is our Site of the Month for March.
Creating interesting textures from scrap pictures
Every so often, I want a text to use as a backdrop for some project. Here at ZATZ, I'll often need a background for our cover images on the home pages of the magazines. While you could buy texture CDs from a variety of vendors, sometimes it's fun to create your own out of your own pictures and a few simple filters. This article shows you how.
