Loking for some forum thread ideas, any in your heads you want to share with us?
 
Gee, I don't know. How about something like "What happens to Paul when he can't sleep?"

yeah thats a good one!.... Oh that's already out there somewhere!:mrgreen:
 
Or," It must be a full moon, Paul's transition is complete":bustagut:
 
How about a thread that describes what constitutes a "great thread".
 
Here's an idea, start a thread for all members to post where they are from.

Good idea iDad, though we are all living on the same planet!
Click to expand...

That's debatable. I know a few members that are questionable as far as being from this planet. Yeah pretty lame idea, but it's an idea.
 
This probably won't work iDad, because everyone already has the option of listing their location (where they're from) in the posting information. Some people just put other things like " right in front of you"...............:naughty:
 
Thinking about our planet...a nice idea would be a thread with pictures called "tiny planets".
Here is a sample of one of my images. It's easy to do and there are lots of tuts in the internet.

Been there done that one Chris................how about a thread on how you retouch a photo?????
 
Sorry Sam, I didn't react to your question in time. But...I've never done a tutorial in my life, and it would be too difficult for me to do it in english, because I'm german speaking. Though I'm sure Tom Mann would be the right person here for doing that.
 
Yes, Tom is great! I want to see how YOU do your retouching.

However, I understand if it would be too difficult because of the language difference. No problems!
 
iDad, I just noticed..........10,014 posts! That's incredible!
 
What can I say, I'm incredibly insane and it shows:mrgreen:

(holyShzzzzz)...who's counting?

btw, I probably have just as many deleted lol

Sam, I tried a quick one for you.

Good retouching is like being a good doctor. The diagnosis is the most important thing.
Ask yourself first: what is wrong with this image? Is it to dark, to light, to much contrast or to flat, over saturated, not enough saturation, "wrong" colors in skin tones, to noisy, out of focus.

Most important is to start the retouching of a foto in the following order:

1. Curves, Check and adjust the highlight (3%), check and adjust the black (96%), then lighten or darken the mid tones by pulling or pushing the curve in the middle of the curve.
2. Color correction.
3. Hue and saturation.
4. Retouch skintones (blemishes) with a small but soft brush. Zoom your image to a 100% on your screen for that. (Beauty retouching is a different story).
5. Reduce noise if necessary, (Topaz deNoise is one of many tools).
6. Sharpen image if necessary with unsharp masking. (Set Radius to 0.5 pixel).

Since 1970 I worked in printing business as a professional retoucher, and since 1994 with Photoshop. These many years of experience are hard to put into a few sentences. Though I really hope that I can help you to improve the quality of your pictures.
