Taking Photoshop’s Curves Beyond Highlights and Shadows. Photoshop’s Curves is a flexible control that can brighten or darken parts of a layer based on the layer’s luminosity. Editing tones in an image—not just grays and not always photos—can do more than fix highlights and shadows. Curves can be used to edit photos, masks, graphics and even hues. But using it requires a little know-how and imagination. Read on for more details about what Photoshop curves are, as well as how to use them properly for your designs.

As usual, feel free to leave us your comments at the end of this post. Making Tonal Adjustments Curves is found near the top of the Image → Adjustments menu. Above: Drag a point on the curve line up to make the image brighter and down to make it darker. Curves uses a grid that shows before and after.

Choose Tones to Change With Curves Playing With Color. Minimalist Web Design: When Less is More. As designers, we all know that a minimalist design can achieve beautiful results. Still, many designers have trouble creating one; either they have a hard time making a page with so few elements look good or the final result just doesn’t look “complete.”

There are many articles on the Web about minimalism and this article aims to help you achieve a minimalist design that is beautiful but not bare. To top it off, we’ll present a small showcase of minimalist designs, so that you can analyze why some designs work and others don’t. What Is Minimalist Design? Minimalist design has been described as design at its most basic, stripped of superfluous elements, colors, shapes and textures. Its purpose is to make the content stand out and be the focal point.

From a visual standpoint, minimalist design is meant to be calming and to bring the mind down to the basics. Although minimalist design took off decades ago, the early days of the Internet did not show it. Less Is More How to Minimize Content 1. 2. Portrait Lighting Cheat Sheet Card. Setting up lighting for a portrait can be quite a complex task. If you, like me, are using small strobes which have mo modeling light it is hard to predict what will be the outcome of each lighting array. There are however some basic lighting schemes, kind of a starting ground for new portraits.

Of course, once you lay out the initial lighting you can change it, move it around and use modifiers to soften or restrict the light. Wouldn’t it be nice, though if you have a magic card that will show you what will be the final lighting of almost every lighting scheme? I think it can be pretty darn cool. So, after reading Light, Science and Magic, watching the lighting tutorials from pro photo life and getting my share of the Strobist, I decided to create the Portrait Lighting Cheat Sheet.

(Click here for a bigger size, and here for a super size) The idea is simple: Take a great model. For each angle I took 8 pictures, in 45 degrees interval, so I have a full circle of lights covered. Lighting Modifiers Cheat Sheet Card. So we had a Portrait Lighting Cheat Sheet that was designed to help placing the light in space around the model. While I called it portrait lighting cheat sheet card, I was only telling half of the truth. The half that I did not include in that card was how different modifiers will change the light falling on your subject.

It is time to correct this wrong, so this lighting modifiers cheat sheet completes this gap. There are some new things on this sheet, like a perfectly still model, dark walls to control reflections and a few beers that you can not spot in the actual card. You can download a “super size” here. Again, we tried to keep it simple. What’s In The Card? The card is divided into four sections, each dealing with a different type of modifiers.

Raphael nous rappelle dans cet article les 10 erreurs à ne pas commettre lorsque l’on veut référencer son site Internet. Autrefois, être présent sur Google était du au hasard plus qu’à une quelconque optimisation.

Les sites ne se souciaient pas de leur positionnement, à tel point qu’il suffisait de se pencher sur la question quelques petites heures pour remonter considérablement dans les pages de recherche des moteurs. De nos jours c’est devenu un enjeu majeur et cela nécessite plutôt des jours, voire de semaines ou des mois pour remonter sur les mots clés intéressants. Le SEO est un domaine de plus en plus compétitif et le trafic souvent considérable qui se cache derrière un bon positionnement est désormais une question de survie. Erreur N°1 Ne pas s’en soucier assez tôt L’erreur la plus commune est sans conteste le fait de ne pas se soucier assez tôt de son optimisation. Mac OS X : raccourcis clavier
