Create a Realistic Panoramic Matte Painting in Photoshop
Matte paintings are images commonly used in the film industry to create the illusion of an environment that would otherwise be too expensive or impossible to build. In this tutorial I will show you how to turn a single stock photo into a realistic panoramic scene. Click to enlarge the image. Resources The following images were used during the production of this image. Step 1 Download the following stock image in order to follow this step-by-step tutorial: if you choose to work on a different plate, try to find a photo with a mostly clear sky so it will be easier to enlarge the photo in the following steps. Now open your stock of choice in Photoshop and increase the canvas size in all directions except for the ground. Step 2 Now we will start to fill the new transparent area with life. Next we have to get rid of the sharp edges in the upper layer. Step 3 The left area now obviously looks duplicated, so we will use the Clone Stamp Tool (S) to fix that. Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 7 Step 8 Step 9

How To Give Your Photos a Dark Processed Lomo Effect
This post was originally published in 2010 The tips and techniques explained may be outdated. Follow this step by step post processing guide to give your photos a dark lomo style effect with high contrast, blue tones and vignette burns. The effect is based on the popular lomographic technique and is similar to the processing effect used in many fashion shots and advertisement designs.

PHP techniques I use all the time
Back in February, I was writing CSS every day and I decided to share some of the CSS techniques that I always use. Lately I've been writing more PHP than anything else and I've found myself using some very useful techniques all the time. Now I know that PHP isn't very "cool" these days; it's probably the most misunderstood web language because all the script kiddies use it to include files on their webpages and put up forms that get hacked hours later. Use heredoc syntax for strings: If there's one thing I got tired of fast, it was building long strings like this: If I am going to make a string with more than one line, and even sometimes when I'm not, then I use heredoc. If the $x is going to be 10 by default, just start with 10. And, that's all there is to it. That's my list; if I think of more things, I'll share them. Also, don't forget to read my previous post about easy form processing with PHP. 1 something disappeared here.
How to Remove a person from a photo by using cs 5 Content Aware
May 29 2010 With the launch of the new Adobe Suite of programs comes the long awaited Adobe Photoshop CS5. Packed with new features to speed up your workflow it truly is the most advanced edition of Photoshop to date. Before we begin, download the image that we will be working with. Using the content aware tool on different images produces different results. We are extracting the person on the left from this photo. Notice in the image below how far I am drawing the path from the subject. Once you complete the path around the subject, turn it into a selection. A dialog box will pop-up, make sure the feathering is set to 0px. Now we have an active selection around our subject. A dialog box will pop-up, make sure the Content Aware option is selected. You can cancel the selection at any time by making another selection or just clicking anywhere else on the page with any selection tool. In this step we will remove some of the other artifacts in the image using the same process.
Face detection in pure PHP (without OpenCV) - Maurice Bloggue
Une résumé en français est disponible en fin d’article. Lately, I’ve been looking for ways to detect faces in photos with PHP. Nowadays, face detection is built in many consumer products (camera obviously, but also Google and iPhoto), and seems to be a pretty common job. So I expected to find many solutions for doing it with PHP. Surprisingly, the only one I could find is OpenCV, an opensource lib that was originally developed by Intel. Learning about face detection So I started to think about implementing it myself. Always look at what others are doing Then I looked for existing implementations in other languages. The code Update: the code has moved to Once the code converted to PHP, here’s the result: And you simply use the class this way: $detector = new Face_Detector('detection.dat'); $detector->face_detect('maurice_svay_150.jpg'); $detector->toJpeg(); Which gives the following result: Résumé en français
