Blurbomat did a nice tutorial a while back about using Photoshop to enhance his pictures. The photos in the tutorial are great and I wanted to try it out for myself.

Problem #1 – I have no photos as interesting as those that Blurbomat takes.

Problem#2 – I use the open source Gimpshop, not Photoshop, and it takes a little guess work to translate the directions from one program to the other.

The photo above is what I got from this photo:

I never did quite figure out the adjustment layers in Gimpshop so I’m not sure I followed all of the directions correctly. However, I was able to see a significant change to the photo. I hope to try again when I get some more interesting shots.

Some of my family members were in town during March, giving me an excuse to play tourist. Photos from some of the places we visited are on Flickr.

The Colbert portrait above is at the Museum of American Art. It was the only work that I had to wait in line to see.
