Weddings are indeed one of the happiest moments a person can have in his or her life. Of course, walking down the aisle with the man you love is just one happy moment, with all the friends and families gathered together to celebrate and for sure, you would want your pictures to be of best quality to make the event much lovelier to remember.

However, it is a fact that we don’t have the control of what our wedding pictures may come out in the end. You probably want some background eliminated, or you want to enhance the colors of your pictures or you want the color of your bouquet pop up in the photo like it is real, you can always find for a wedding photo editing. What is nicer is that, you can actually do it at home.

One of the most popular programs to help you glamour up your photos is Adobe Photoshop, and you can actually learn it at home. If you really want to save more cost in hiring a Photoshop expert, you can easily learn photo editing at home. Here are some ideas that you might want to do with your wedding photos and make them glamorous.

- Stick to simple editing. When it comes to wedding photo editing, the simpler it is, the better. You don’t have to change the background to a more sophisticated one that guests won’t recognize. It is also wise to stick with the background but you can blur it a little if you really don’t like the background messing up your wedding kiss. You may also want to airbrush some distractions at the back but always stick to simple editing that will enhance the pictures and not make it something like a ad poster.

- In wedding photo editing, the most common styles and effects that add glamour and beauty to your photos are turning your pictures into black and white or sepia which adds drama to your photos and fixing the focus of your photos. If you had a picture that is focused on the background rather than the subject, you can make use of the Gaussian blur menu on Photoshop and blur the background a little more to make the subject pop up in the picture.

You may also add a little dreamy effect on the subject to make the photo more elegant, but remember not to overdo the blurring, as it may not also come out nice.

- The vignette is also another effect that can be done in wedding photo editing. It is helpful in drawing the attention of the viewer to the subject by lightening the edges of the photo – which is a good effect if you want to get the viewer’s attention to the newlyweds in a wedding photo.

You can also turn a photo into black and white and retain a portion colored. A reception table adorned with beautiful centerpieces and floral arrangement, for example, can be turned into as black and white retaining the centerpieces colored to make its color pop out of the picture.

Indeed, there are many possibilities to make your wedding photos glamorous and you can do it by yourself also. Of course, by learning how to make use of some simple tools in Adobe Photoshop.

Which is better – Pentax k100d or Pentax k200d?

I know the 200 has 10 megapix and the 100 has 6 but that is not a problem for me. What other features make the 100 more expensive than the 200? I have pentax lenses from my old slr which I can use with the dslr I get -just not sure which one to go for.

DP Review have a side by side comparison here

http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/pentaxk200d/

The main features are the weather sealed body, larger screen, better A/D converter and 23 custom functions as opposed to 18.

Note they are comparing the K100 not the K100 Super which has some of these exra features.

If you can find one get a K10D sometimes SRS in Watford ( http://www.srsmicrosystems.co.uk/ )have factory refurbished for about 2/3rd of the K200 price. If you are slightly above the novice stage then the K10D has all the major controls as switches rather than having to go into a menu, it doesn’t have any of the Modes (Landscape mode, Portrait mode etc.), but its much faster to use.

Where can I learn Photoshop in detail?

I am looking to learn photoshop in depth, i currently have version CS3.
I have a good basic knowledge of how to use it though I am looking to broaden my understanding of the program to use it to it’s full potential.
I am wondering if there are any websites or videos or Ebooks which will be helpful
Thanks

Try http://www.tutvid.com – quite a few video tutorials there on every Adobe product including Photoshop. Apart from that, try http://www.tutorialized.com.

Good luck!!

PS: If you’d like an in-depth course, then I’d suggest you go to eBay and search for it – there is plenty good ones available delievred on DVD which you can watch at home.
