Wedding Photography and Special Effects with Photoshop

Photoshop is a computer software program that enables photographers to achieve many special effects in photography today. One popular look in wedding photography is to convert the bride to black and white and leave her flowers in color. While this is a popular effect, it is only the tip of the iceberg as far as what can be achieved in Photoshop. Photoshop offers many conversion options, limited only by the imagination.
Some basics include: conversion to black and white or sepia (which is the brown and tan look of an antique photograph); super-imposing photos for a double-exposed look; muting or enhancing the colors; adding ragged and other type borders; softening part of the photo while leaving the remainder as sharp and clear; altering color composition to soften, brighten or change completely; add a glowing effect; etc.
More complicated techniques allow us to open the eyes if the subject blinked, or remove a person from a picture altogether. We can even take a favorite shot of the bride and groom and put them in the setting of their honeymoon location.
Obviously, Photoshop opens a world of possibilities today. If you can imagine a change you’d like in a photo, it can be achieved in Photoshop. As said earlier, we are limited only by our imagination. So dream…….. and request the effect you are wanting!
