For every photographer, there is a clear designation between paid, commissioned work and work that you need to do for exposure of some sort. If you're looking to get the word out about a new project or yourself, it's often a great idea to allow publications to feature you. Ethically speaking, it's often a bad idea to pitch yourself and then demand payment simply because a story is about you and there is a practice in journalistic integrity to not pay for information. If your images are part of a great piece though, then it makes a whole lot of sense to ask for a licensing fee. With that out of the way, I highly suggest that any time that you have some sort of new project done and ready to use not only the power of social media and email to get the word out, but also publications. Gatekeepers often look at publications to help them find new talent and your work could be right on that list.

Bill Cunningham is one of the most iconic figures in our industry. A fashion photographer for the New York Times, he was best known for taking candid images of America's best-dressed people. As with most successful photographers, there's always a team behind them. John Kurdewan was both a close friend and production assistant for Bill Cunningham. For Bill's famous feature 'On The Street', John was right there beside him helping to put it all together. Their friendship and professional relationship lasted for over 20 years, until Bill's passing in 2016. "We never had a single argument," says Kurdewan. So what was life like working so close to one of the greatest photographers of a generation?

In this instance, I had an inner picture of trees glowing from the sun, rather dark shadows, and a sky with nice color contrast. Note: This tutorial is meant for advanced users of Photoshop who are well familiar with layers, masks and luminosity masks. In order to achieve this, I opted to create two virtual copies in Lightroom from the original RAW file. I could alternatively have achieved what I was looking for using Smart Objects, but I envisioned that Virtual Copies would be the better option for the image I had in mind. The first image is my shadows copy. Here I made sure I had no black clippings but yet so dark shadows that they would work as a nice contrast against the trees and thus enhance the glow I had in mind. The second image is my sky copy. Split toning and a gradient for the sky where I increased Clarity created the effect in the sky I was looking for. The third copy is for the trees. I took down the exposure quite a bit (-1.55), something that left my shadows very dark. Furthermore, I set Lights to +100 and in the HSL section I set orange Luminosity to +100. This created a nice starting point for how I envisioned the trees. In Photoshop, I organized the layers are shown below. I turned off my top layer and simply used the Quick Selection tool plus Select and Mask to create a mask for the sky. With the top layer still turned off I used a Darks 5 Lumenzia luminosity mask to target the darkest shadows so that my shadows copy would brighten the very dark shadows from the trees copy. If the top layer had been visible when creating the darks mask the mask would not have mirrored the darkest parts from my trees exposure. Happy with the blend of the tree images, I embarked on the rest of my editing in Photoshop. At the end of my post-processing, I arrived at this final image: About the author: Ole Henrik Skjelstad is a landscape photographer and math teacher from Norway.

Version 2019.2 brings a new AI-powered masking feature and new performance enhancements. The new AI Quick Mask tool lets you create high-quality masks. All you need to do is provide a few strokes as guidance, which gives the AI an idea about color, tone, and textures to figure out the boundaries in the shot and the detailed mask you want. The masks are created “in a fraction of the time compared to other masking techniques,” ON1 says. In the area of performance, a computer’s video card (GPU) is now utilized to help boost the speed of common tasks — things like returning to Browse, copy and pasting layers and masks, exporting, and plug-in functions. The full list of new features and camera incompatibilities can be found here. ON1 Photo RAW 2019.2 is available starting now as a free upgrade for ON1 Photo RAW 2019 owners or $100 if you’re a new customer. Owners of previous ON1 products can upgrade for $80, and there’s also a subscription-based membership for $130 a year. from https://petapixel.com/2019/01/30/on1-photo-raw-2019-2-brings-new-ai-masking-feature-and-more/ |
