Funny photo blending effects

Most people like working with photo blending when using photo editing software like PhotoShop. But Photo Blending is also not so easy when you want to get special blending effects, especially those who are still beginners.

For those beginners, they can usually make simple photo blending. Or they can use special features included in a photo editing software like Ulead Photo Express. This is also my favorite. I first knew this program when I installed drivers for Acer scanner about 10 years ago. That time my friend bought an Acer scanner and Photo Express was included in it. It's a very easy to use program cause it comes up with many special effects.

Adobe PhotoShop seems to have been designed to do more than simple photo editing. It's a bit harder to learn when you have no basics at all. But everything is hard at the first start. If you want to get started easier with photo projects (including photo blending), you can also choose PhotoDeluxe which is also a product of Adobe. It's quite nice and easy to use.

But if you just want to have special photo blending effects, you can just go searching for software purposely made for photo blending. You can't find, let me introduce you this one. You'll have a lot of fun with it. Click here to visit the photofunia site!

How to adjust the electronics products photos taken with digital camera

I got the experience of adjusting black electronics products photo when I was taking the photo of "USB cable" with my digital camera which was intended for my previous post. It was taken under fluorescent light. So, you can imagine that the photo was not taken under enough light. I have uploaded the photo before adjustment and after adjustment.

The camera I am using now is BenQ DC 2410. It's not a very good digital camera but at least it can let me take photos for my posting.

If you have ever taken a photo that look like the one you've seen on this page, you can do the following adjustment. Usually a photo with black object and white background will look better with this adjustment. You can use any photo editing software. I usually use the simple yet wonderful tool of Faststone Image Viewer. It's a freeware.

Here are some adjustment you can do:
1. Try changing the brightness, decreasing it when it's too bright.
2. Increase the contrast a little by a little to make the black color looks darker and sharper.
3. Adjusting the saturation to see the vividness of your photo.

Enjoy experimenting!
