>Noise ninja>d80>iso 400tacos.jpgHERE'S A TOUCH UP TECHNIQUE SUBJECT DOES NOT GO IN CENTER.
>>237689Subject is in the lower left corner. What the fuck is up with you, Meese?
>>237689I think what our friend Meese is trying to say, to improve this photo - having the subject off-center would be more effective.Regarding touching-up photos, use Unsharp Mask. Although be careful, its very easy to overdo.
>>237710you're a nigger. Noise Ninja> USM any fucking day
>>237697No it isn't. Glance at the thumbnail of the shot - your eyes go straight for the bird's eyes. Eyes tend to be the focal point in shots of things with them, so you should try and compose with that in mind.Don't think of it as just a shot of "a bird" or else you'll never be able to get composition down.
>>237791No, they kinda go to the brightly colored beak.
>>237790Noise ninja and unsharp mask are two completely different things you twat
>>237710Regarding touching-up photos, use Unsharp Mask. Although be careful, its very easy to overdo.oh LAWD and LAWLaccording to Martin, touching up photos = applying USMgood job Martin
>>237829Wow, Anon is on the ball tonightIn that sentance you quoted from me, replace 'photos' with 'techniques'. Now it makes perfect sense.
