Photoshopping and the Media – A Conversation with a High School Freshman

May 11, 2012 in Freelancing, Graphic Design, Interviews, Photography, Photoshop

Back in early April, I was approached by a high school freshman who was working on a paper about the role of Photoshop and photo manipulation in the media – both news and otherwise – and how that affects self-image in young people. I was, of course, glad to help out and below is how I responded to her questions about my views on the subject and how I make my own decisions with regards to Photoshop and image retouching. It’s kind of a stream of consciousness and could certainly be expanded upon, so please bear with my jumping around.

If you have any comments, please share them in the comments below!

March 23, 2010 in Contest, Guest Blogger, Inspiration, News, Personal, Photography, Photoshop, TJM Media Group

With all the attention in the photo industry focussed on what’s going to be happening down in Orlando this week at Photoshop World it can be easy to forget about all the other great things going on in other regions of the community. Now, I love Photoshop World and NAPP and I look forward to when I can make my way back to one soon. But I want to make sure you are all aware of some really cool plans coming up here at Jason D. Moore Photography.

Points of View Photo Project #29

March 19, 2010 in Inspiration, Photography

Welcome back for another week of the Points of View Photo Project!

This week, in honor of St. Patrick’s Day, we’re taking another look at the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge that I featured the other day. Shot in Northern Ireland on March 18 2005 while I was on vacation to the region my grandmother’s family was from.

After looking through the different entries this week, be sure to download the images for next time – offered by our regular contributor, Hendrik Demey from Belgium. They are “three bracketed images (+/- 2EV), taken this winter on the domain of a local small castle.”

Enjoy this week’s images and I hope you will join us next week!

Removing Halftone from Scanned Newspaper Photos

March 16, 2010 in Inspiration, Photoshop, Tutorials, Workflow

My dad recently sent me a scanned photo from an old newspaper that he is using in a historical video he is working on. One of the main issues you face when working with projects of this nature is quality images. Sometimes, you have actual photos, which usually contain a workable amount of visual data to work with. Sometimes you’re on the other end of the spectrum with photocopies of old newspapers.

For this tutorial we’re looking at a pretty typical source image, a scan of a newspaper photo, and how to remove the halftone dot pattern caused by printing.

Points of View Photo Project #28

March 12, 2010 in Inspiration, Photography

Happy Friday everyone! You know what that means, it’s time for the 28th installment of the Points of View Photo Project!

As I mentioned last week, this week’s source image comes all the way from Antarctica courtesy of my brother, Chris.

For those of you who might be new to this photo project of ours, each week I post a source image (either my own or user-submitted) that is straight out of the camera without any post-processing whatsoever. Anyone is free to download it, edit it however they like, and return it to me with an explanation of their processing so I can post it with the other submissions.

But why keeping trying to explain it when you can see how it all works for yourself with this week’s source image. Enjoy!

Points of View Photo Project #27

March 5, 2010 in Inspiration, Lightroom, Photography, Photoshop

Welcome to the 27th week of the Points of View Photo Project!

This week we are fortunate to have a source image from Friend-of-the-Blog Marc Benton of the Columbus Skyline. Thank you Marc!

We have 6 versions for your enjoyment this week! I am excited for the continued growth of the project and I encourage you all to give it a shot for next week. We have a special image at the end of the post that comes from my brother, Chris, from his recent trip to Antarctica.

So have a look at what we all did to process this initial photo and, who knows, you might learn a little something too!
