Special Effects Can Turn Your Photographs Into Pieces of Art

Using photo editing software has never been easier, and any novice photographer can turn their photographs into living works of art. 

If you want your photographs to stand out, then you should consider editing your pictures with special effects. A few special effects that are becoming extremely popular both online as well as off, are the black and white photo effects, the sepia photo effect, pencil sketch photo effect, as well as the oil painting special effect. With the right type of photo editing software, you can turn your ordinary prints into a spectacular piece. Understanding what each effect does will help you make a decision on what type of photo editing software to use to create the effect that you desire.

Black and White Photo Effect

This effect will help you turn an ordinary colored photograph into a black and white image. People tend to utilize this effect to make their pictures appear like they were taken from an old time camera. The black and white photo effect will help to give your photographs an additional amount of depth, which will add to their appeal.

Sepia Photo Effect

Sepia is similar to the black and white effect, in some regards. The primary difference between the Sepia effect and the black and white effect is that the Sepia effect will make your photo look older. It incorporates various brown shades, giving your photograph a dull appearance. It will also allow you to lighten your photograph, making it appear as though it was taken during the 1940s.

Pencil Sketch Photo

If you have never been lucky enough to have someone sketch a photograph of you, the pencil photo effect will give you the ability to have this task completed. The pencil sketch effect will make your photograph appear to have been drawn by someone. It dulls out the picture, and deepens the intensity of the primary image.

Oil Painting Effect

Before photography was invented, the only way to obtain a photograph was to have it painted. Most of the older paintings used oil colors to create their images. Now, you have the ability to make it appear as though your photograph was painted with oil colors as well, by adding special effects to your photographs during the editing process. Many photo editing software programs can transform your photograph into an oil painting in a matter of a few seconds.

Special effects will help to give your photographs a unique appearance. In this high tech world that we live in, it is kind of nice to be able to go back in time, by making your photographs appear as though they were something that was taken out of the past. These special effects are just a few of the effects that can be applied to your edited photographs to make them appear exceptionally unique.

Photography - My Journey And Some Things I Have Learned

Image
My Early Years As A Photographer I can remember taking my first pictures when I was seven years old. While on a family vacation, my parents bought me a miniature camera for a few dollars. It used tiny little film and took tiny little black and white pictures. I remember taking them but I don't really remember what I took pictures of and probably for a good reason - I didn't know what I was doing and (I'm sure) they were lousy. Thirty years and several cameras later, I still didn't know much about taking good pictures. I would point the camera at someone, usually a family member, and press the shutter. When the film was developed (back in the days before digital), the good pictures went into an album and the bad ones went into a box. I have a lot more boxes than I do albums. That's because I hadn't learned anything about lighting, composition, apertures or shutter speeds. It wasn't until I was in my fifties that I realized there was more to taki
