Hmmmm... seems this group is pretty well near dead... That being the case, I thought I'd make an attempt to turn it into something more that a Group of people who say, "Yes, I use Photoshop and I love it."

Well, of course you use it and love it... The real question is HOW do you use it and WHY do you love it?

Here is an example of what we can do with this group and how we can learn from each other. I've got a before and after set of photos. The first one I liked because of the expression on the girl's face, but artistically I felt the people in the background were distracting and took something away from the overall mood of the shot.

The solution? Use the Clone Stamp Tool to sample areas of the ground and paint out everyone but the girl. (If you look very close, you can still see remnants of the photographer's camera showing through her hair, but its not something you would notice unless it is pointed out. I decided to leave it alone, because it would be extremely labor and time-intensive to remove).

What are your thoughts? Start using this group to share our secrets?
