I used to work with Surfyogi the founder of Artzone. I love spending time with the family but since I am not with them now I love being in my room alone if I am not at work. I love making friends and I love to see my friends make it life and love to put smiles on the face of my friends.

I complete Ghana Technology University In Ghana and I offered a BSc in Information Technology. I use to play Basketball and football but I have stopped playing them because I don’t get much time to train. I love working out and going to the gym but mostly workout in the house. I am happy to introduce myself to this wonderful community again and I hope to read more articles of @randulakoralage and @cryptokannon.

I will also be writing more posts on sports and share more tutorials on photoshop here on the platform.

I am really glad to be here again.

HDR Toning in Photoshop CS6 – Beach pilings, Spurn point, Easington UK.

Here are 2 examples of Using the HDR toning feature in Photoshop CS6.
First image : ‘surrealistic setting’.

Second image uses the ‘More saturated’ setting.

To use HDR toning you need to go to : ‘image’ then ‘adjustments’ then select HDR toning. You can then access a menu which uses the settings that are similar to ‘merge to HDR pro’ but without having to use multiple images to gain the HDR effect.

Here is the original image.

” Spurn Point is one of the most striking features of Britain’s coastline, stretching for three and a half miles across the Humber Estuary. “

Photography editing, Clouds – which 1 do you prefer?

clouds at dusk 2
clouds 2 (original)

Both images taken with Taken with Fuji – X-E1. The bottom picture is the original . It was then processed in photoshop cs6 using auto colour correction.
I can usually decide on 1 image if i have multiple images similar but on this occasion i cant make up my mind up which to choose.
when i cant decide i usually print both and put them on the wall and look at them over the next few days.
At the moment i still can’t decide, both have their own quality.

Please comment which image you prefer. 🙂
