				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When we are working on our images in programs like <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop.html" target="_blank">Photoshop</a>, sometimes we forget the exposure information in the original file. We can also forget many other useful bits of information that are embedded in the file like did the flash fire, what focal length was used etc.</p>
<p>In <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom.html" target="_blank">Lightroom</a> and <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/bridge.html" target="_blank">Bridge</a> (comes free with Photoshop) this Exif data is easy to find, the default program settings reveal this information clearly.  Not so in Photoshop where it is buried under the file menu (in Windows).</p>
<h3>File — File info.… reveals the Exif data for any image you are working on in Photoshop. Click on the Camera Data tab to see the exposure information.</h3>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">The keyboard short cut (Windows) ALT + SHIFT + CTRL +I does the same thing.</span><br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;"> <strong>The keyboard short cut (Mac) OPTION + SHIFT + COMMAND +I does the same thing.</strong></span><br />

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So you’ve just taken the perfect shot of a pair of shoes for a client. But wait… ooops. The client didn’t want the shoes to be on the table. So what can be done to remove the table? There are a few ways to go about it. First (and most obvious) is to shoot the pair of shoes on a simple backdrop with no distractions.</p>
<div></div>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="removing backgrounds" src="http://www.photography.ca/wp-content/uploads/photo-blog-img-June1-2009.jpg" alt="" width="425" height="282" /><br />
<img class="alignnone" title="spacer" src="http://www.photography.ca/wp-content/uploads/spacer-20px.jpg" alt="" width="20" height="20" /></p>
<div></div>
<p>But if this is not possible, Photoshop can help you achieve that ‘near perfect’ shoe shot by extracting it from the background. Photoshop’s selection tools work well to get the job done. The quick selection tool is great for simple extractions. The background eraser is another great tool. Although many people loved the extract tool in Photoshop CS3, it’s missing from CS4. (If you loved it and still have CS3, you can copy it from the CS3 Plug-ins-Filters folder to CS4).‚ But depending on the subject, these tools may miss out on some of the finer details like a model with frizzy hair. In cases like these, manually tracing the edges with the pen tool and then converting it to a selection is ideal. Tedious yes, but it will give you optimal results.</p>
<p>Pluggins are also available for removing backgrounds if you’re up for the expense.<br />
Who knew shoes could be so technical?!<br />

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify">How to make a perfect  Vignette‚¦ add 1 cup oil to ‚½ cup vinegar, dash with‚¦ now wait a  minute. Not Vinaigrette. VIGNETTE. It’s the amazing effect of having the central portion of the image showing while the rest of the image is darkened. Photographers can apply  this effect to their photos to add more emphasis to their subject.</p>
<p align="justify"><img class="alignnone" title="vignette" src="http://www.photography.ca/wp-content/uploads/blog-image-april4-2009.jpg" alt="" width="425" height="282" /><br />
<img class="alignnone" title="spacer" src="http://www.photography.ca/wp-content/uploads/spacer-20px.jpg" alt="" width="20" height="20" /></p>
<p align="justify">Photoshop provides numerous  methods to master the vignette. Want some insight? You can use an elliptical  marquee tool, inverse the selection, and blur the four corners. You  can also brighten or darken the four corners by working with the level  balance on the inversed selection. Lens correction (Filter ‚” Distort)  also works well for adding a vignette. These are only two methods, but  there are certainly more.</p>
<p align="justify">But what about those  who prefer working in a darkroom to achieve their artistic photo effects?  In the darkroom, this is done by holding an opaque material with a circle  or oval cut-out during the exposure.</p>
<p>Either way, a vignette  can add drama or even soften a photograph all at once. The possibilities  are endless.</p>
