Welcome to the 87th issue of the Digital Darkroom
Hi
At BetterPhoto, we believe that absolutely anyone can learn to master photography and the digital darkroom. And our online school will show you how! These courses offer personal interaction with top professionals. The next school session kicks off July 7th, but if you enroll in any class, you can get started today with an early lesson. See the school schedule...
By the way, if you are considering a digital darkroom course, be sure to check the specific course's requirements, since many Photoshop classes are also open to Elements users.
In this issue of Digital Darkroom, don't forget to check out the Featured Article (Jim Zuckerman's "take" on HDR) and Featured Blog (Deborah Sandidge's thoughts on Photoshop plug-ins).
Also, if you have a few minutes, stop by Team BetterPhoto for lots of interesting thoughts, tidbits, and tips from BP team members.
That's it for now. Have a great month, and enjoy your photography!

New Photo Discussion 2: Golden Thistles
- Michelle Alton See Michelle's Basic BetterPholio™ Response 1:Thank you so much, Michelle. Your response means a lot to me. As I said, it is a new venture for me. I had to try it, before the hype about this kind of manipulation runs out again. - Christine Czernin-Morzin See Christine's Basic BetterPholio™ Response 2:The whole thing is a new experience for me too, Christine. I must say that I love what you've accomplished here. The texture is perfect for the subject, the composition is great, and the color palette is so appealing. Nice work. - Mitch Spence See Mitch's Basic BetterPholio™ Read this discussion online Respond to this discussion | ||

New Photo Discussion 4: Lion Cub Reflection
To me, it looks like there is a narrow area of water, and a reflection ... like the Flood plug-in may have been used. - Bunny Snow See Bunny's Basic BetterPholio™ Response 1:Yes, this was done with flood. There was a pool of water but it was fairly small so I made it larger. - Doug Steakley See Doug Steakley's Basic BetterPholio™ Take an Online PhotoCourse™ with Doug Steakley: 4-Week Short Course: Basic Masks In Photoshop 4-Week Short Course: Photographing Motion Read this discussion online Respond to this discussion | ||
