It just takes away some of the guesswork. I've been using Photoshop for 20 years, but barely know the basics. Bob Long uses PS exclusively and has come to master it quite well in the last few years.<br /><br />My photo training is more along the realist line, so I tend to beef up colors in Photoshop to make it look more like what I thought I saw and leave it at that. Have toyed with the idea of painting again, but digitally is so much neater than oil paint and no fears of burning down the house from a build up of turpentine fumes. Almost did that once. Have been playing with with painterly effects, but it's more hands on than letting PS do everything for me.<br /><br />These images look pretty darn good. Never apologize for doing what you need to do to get things how you want. That's been the benefit of coming at photography from an oil painting point of view. I'm not a photo purist. I don't care if the purists pooh pooh the bells and whistles of PS. You should see what I used to do to my paintings and drawings, even including photos on them. Layer on layer of stuff. <br /><br />Do what you want to see what you want. Eventually you'll get to something that's strictly yours and it will be wonderful.<br /><br />Part of the failed canoe shop I opened in 2005 was an art gallery dedicated to outdoors related art. Had some nice work in the gallery. Bob wasn't doing what he does, didn't know you, have since met many other good artists. I should consider doing that part again.Ken Gnoreply@blogger.com
