Well, it happens very often that you take some cool photographs and they look cool in your camera display and when you’re back home and look at them on your screen, they’re pretty flat and not so vibrant. In the next steps I’ll show you how you can spice up such an image.

The work mentioned below can be done with any image editing software which supports layer techniques and layer blending modes. Adobe Photoshop is my choice but you can do this with Gimp or PaintShop Pro as well. Please keep in mind that in Gimp or PaintShop Pro the blending modes have different names. Please consult your manual or grab the internet for appropriate instructions.

During my regular checks and trackback analysis I have found a german article at Blogwatch reporting about my XoverIP photoblog.

Well, I’m always a bit flattered when I find such articles. In this case in a very particular manner, because Peter revealed that he is as pleased as punch about every new picture I post :-) Thanks Peter!

It was and it is always a pleasure to see that my pics make people happy :-) Cheers, Vernon Trent

Like in the past, the title hasn’t changed, just the year. So we stand loyal to “abstract emotions” and added the year 2007. Some of my customers decided to collect them. Year-books! *sigh* :)

However, I’m very glad to present you Read the rest of this entry »
