Message: <blockquote data-quote="Blacktop" data-source="post: 367398" data-attributes="member: 22693">First I have a question. Is there a post processing section here?  If there is ,I could not find it.I have Photoshop CC sitting on my computer the last 2 weeks not being used. I decided 3 days ago, that I'm either going to have to learn it, or get rid of it before my 30 day trial is up.So 3 days ago I dove into this thing . I realized that learning this software is only going to happen by taking it slow, and learning one thing at a time.First I gained a basic, and I mean very basic understanding of how layers and layer masks work.Then yesterday I started learning about sharpening, and selective adjustments. This part I really enjoy. Unfortunately to get good at this, I'm really going to have to get more understanding on how to work with layers.I say unfortunately, because trying to wrap my head around masking and layers is really giving me a headache.No matter, I'm going to have learn this thing if I want my photography to advance to next level. And I do.If I don't post much anymore, it's because I'm either working, or having my head buried in you-tube tutorials.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />I would just like to share a before and after image. The first image is one that I thought was pretty good (for my skill level) and thought to be a finished image.I took it a few weeks ago, and was pretty satisfied with it.Then this evening I was playing around with it in PS, and applying a few things that I have learned. What a difference unsharp mask makes. I haven't even scratched the surface yet.[ATTACH]118576[/ATTACH][ATTACH]118577[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
