Looks like we’re on a roll … continuing to find more Photoshop for weddings and brides, this week we’ve turned up : * Tilt-shift brides * Paint the Moon with actions * Were you really that thin? * Top 3 Retouching Tidbits from the Master * Photoshop wedding DVD template * template buffet * and believe it or not, some real painting . . .
PHOTOSHOP MADNESS is where you practically go mad trying to find the most useful stuff for Photoshop! This is continued from the previous ‘June’ madness — and now we’re following our last Photoshop Madness with MORE brides for June. . .
As always, we remind you — be careful what you click. I’ve tried very hard this month to get just good, clean stuff for’ya. But there are always malware, phishing stalker and predator links abundant in many of the replicated sites these days. Whatch those little popups in the text. Just stay on the tutorial / content paths and you’ll be okay.
So, here are yet more links of note…
Tilt-shift brides
Although the CSS for this site is a little flakey, you can still make out the interesting tutorial on utilizing tilt-shift techniques in wedding photography.
Actually the results are kinda nice!

Paint the Moon with actions
Paint the Moon offers Photoshop actions to help bring new life to your images and take hours off of your editing time. Paint the Moon actions are also highly customizable for just the right look.
Unfortunately, you have to pay for them Full story : paintthemoon.net Here, See the video
Were you really that thin?
Or, “How to lose ten pounds in one photo” … (Or, how to end up sleeping on the sofa: “Geez, honey, were you really ever that thin???”)
This is about shooting, NOT Photoshopping … madness… This was a link to “How to retouch” but somehow it ends up in the midst of a flash site. Don’t you hate flash sites? Just scroll down. Full story : Raven Berg Photography Here, See the video, or another screen capture
Top 3 Retouching Tidbits from the Master

The template buffet
You want tacky? We got tacky. Except, isn’t tacky what really sells at wedding time?

And now, a little wake-up call
You could always do something really, really special for the bride… a real painting. Kris Lewis creates these paintings with oil… NOT Photoshop. Kris writes:
“As I begin a painting the subject physically, emotionally and spiritually reveals itself to me. Each brushstroke speaks to the subsequent stroke, carrying out a dialogue, linking my subject and me as if we were meeting for the first time. I find this uncertainty exciting and embrace the indecisive nature of my work.” Full story : Kris Lewis Paintings Here, See the video, or another screen capture
