Finally....something in Ps

I have been quite busy with CBT's baseball team.  Somehow I became the team photographer and have taken well over 1,000 photos with almost that many posted on a "team photo website."

Today I finally figured out how to do anything something in Photoshop.  It took me a long time, but I was determined to figure it out because I had seen it as part of an ad for the software.  I took the team photo today right before the tournament started.  Me Ra would cringe because it was about 11:30am and horribly bright.  You guessed it.  Out of the three shots I took (why did I just take three??), none had everyone with their eyes open.

After a very long time, I figured out how to layer two of the pictures of get everyone with their eyes open.  Unfortunately, not everyone had a least one "good" in one of the three, but I did get eyes (even if squinty.)




First shot - the two coaches on the right...closed eyes.



Next shot, virtually everyone else with their eyes closed.  But, those two coaches with their eyes open.



Go to Scott Kelby's Photoshop book, turn to page 295.  Tada...everyone's eyes are open.

Of course, if I had remembered his Digital Photography tip before I got back home I might not have to had to go through the 3 easy steps.  Oh, well.  Good learning experience.
