I now have a Sony A7 which I dearly love, a Samsung 8+ phone that takes super pics, and a Apple X phone which I am slowly learning to like after years of being a NON APPLE person. In fact I had switch from PC to IMac so my learning curve is in full swing at moment. But that's another story for another day; today we talking about programs I use to assist me as a photographer.
I call my process "Illusion of Beauty with Photoshop and Filter Forge."
Photoshop Elements 2018 is the tiny version of Adobe's Creative Cloud for working on photos or develop ones own artistic creation. It allows the artist using the program to expand their creations; this statement is a simplified explanation believe me.
Filter Forge 7.5 is program to work with or stand alone with Photoshop any of the versions. Filters are what create different effects or layers upon a photo. I use both Potoshop Elements and Filter Forge.
I don't know many photographers who do not use some form of assistance to enhance their photographs. Even when I use to develop from film my own photos in a darkroom that there tricks of the trade to enhance a photo.
I like a certain style to my photos. It is one reason I use the programs I use. My personal taste for a photo is:
A soften look, more of a painters style using a watercolor effect,
a singular item as the focus of interest.
It's amazing what one can do to a photograph! When I look at magazines or art book I look to see the "Illusion" as I call it. Many times it very obvious, other times its so subtle that it's often not found. Unless a person is told you may miss the "Illusion".
These are my Illusions: Hope You enjoy!
