After over a year of being without editing software, I now have a new computer and a fresh install of CS4! Woohoo! Being without software did teach me a lot of valuable lessons and made me realize how easy it is to be lazy and take bad pictures with the intent to "fix" them in post-processing. That said, Photoshop does have some fun toys.
For example, I can take this portrait
And turn it into a lovely black and white (which I like better)
Or do some "special effects"
Although, with this kind of effect, less is more, in my opinion. It works better with small splashes of color than large swaths.
Like so.
Do you have a favorite Photoshop effect?
