This eagle was flying over Lake Lochloosa this morning. Thought it would make a good candidate for Photoshop. This is part of the new tutorial coming out. Click image for larger view. Steve

The Flickr online photo community has announced a partnership with the Picnik online photo editing company.

The Picnik/Flickr collaboration works similarly to other 3rd party services who’ve built additional tools on top of the Flickr API: You’ll need to pass through the step of giving the Picnik service permission to edit and save your photos… It’s a little bit like you’re “installing” Picnik on your Flickr account, but with nothing to download.

Thank You Sandra.

This image demonstrates what you can do in Photoshop to produce an old world look.  I used the art history brush along with the smudge tool, combined with layering to produce this image.  I have posted the full painting along with two different crops of the same image.  The original image is by Fred James of Fred James Photography.  Fred posted this image as a challenge on DPreview.com.
