Overflow gates

Today I went on the second part of a Photoshop course at The Imaging Warehouse in Stratford. It was run by Clive Haynes and there were only 3 students so we got almost individual tuition.

The subject matter centred mainly around blend modes which looked so easy and obvious when he showed us but I think my brain has been blended as I cant remember how to do much of the stuff he showed us. Never mind, it is all repeated on the website so I will need to do some homework!

I was short of a picture today so shot this with my Sony NEX-6 on the way home. The original was a bit bland but some curves and a blended highpass filter brought out more detail. (That's the bit I could remember!)

Fortunately the third part of the course is in only 3 weeks so I will be able to ask him again about the bits I forgot then.
