How to get that instigram look when I edit with computer images?
in
Instigram is an app for the iphone, but of course I don't have one, and don't plan on ever getting one. And unfortunately, it is ONLY an app. It doesn't exist for computers.
Instagram gives everything this pretty yellowish greenish, even orangish look. It makes everything pretty.
How can I make my pictures get that look when I edit them on my computer?
Answer:
I know what you mean. I sometimes do that to my pictures.

That effect is called cross process. I usually use photobucket. They have effects pretty similar. My boyfriend has instagram, I'm so jealous!
How to make a photo sticker certain sizes?
in
I'm gonna buy sticker paper for my printer so I can fill my mini journal with photos on sticker paper, but I want the photos really small.
How do you make them big, small, etc.?
Do you do it on the computer?
Answer:
Yes, you certainly do that on the computer. You need a program such as Adobe Photoshop, PS Elements, PaintShopPro, Gimp or even Photoscape (the last two are free).
Using a website is fine if you only want to do a few photos, but resident programs are the much better option if you have more or want to do this regularly. If it MUST be a free website, try http://pixlr.com/ or http://www.sumopaint.com/ or http://aviary.com/ .
If you know what size you want, set the size in the crop tool size box (i.e. specify width and height), then crop the photo to the exact size. Use "save as" so you can rename it complete with measurements. When they are all done, open Publisher or Word, and insert them all onto one page, and move them around so you waste as little space as possible. Or you can start a new Photoshop file and put them all on there. Or use a collage program...... many options.
ALWAYS WORK WITH A COPY - don't destroy your originals.

How to make photos look more professional looking ?

How to make pictures smooth looking? Is it all about the editing?
Any photo editing sites/software that have good effects for pictures ?
Answer:
Camera, Canon 5DM2 $2500
Lens, 100mm macro $600, 100-400mmL $1600 and 24-105mmL $1100
580 Flash x 3 $1500
Adobe Production Premium $1800
Computer to run, edit and store photos and video $2500
Printer $1000
College credits in photography/ related classes 32
Years of experience including film and darkroom, forensics, and technical/scientific photography 35+
Equipment, skill, and background-education all work together and make up about half the overall quality of the photo. The other half is the photographers "eye", their creativity and ability to use the equipment and education to get the desired result.
And I am an amateur who occasionally gets paid. This is a hobby more than a business for me.
How to add clarity to a blur video?
in
A movie I downloaded is rather blurred.
Is there any way to improve its clarity?
Changing it to another format etc.?
Or can I change the display settings of my computer to make it look sharper?
Answer:
If your display setting is below the native resolution of your display, I suggest that you increase the resolution.
Otherwise, there is no way. Well, there is one. But that includes editing it on a pro editing tool, which I believe is something you wouldn't do.
Someone here said that one way will be increasing the dimension/resolution. THAT WILL NOT HELP AT ALL. It will only increase the size. To be more specific, the pixels will be stretched to fit in a larger resolution, therefore it defeats the purpose.
Viewing it on a smaller screen will make it clearer. To be more specific, the pixels will not be stretched, therefore making the pixels fit perfectly, or close to the native resolution, making the video clearer.
You could also try watching it farther from the display. That will make it clearer.
If none of these suggestions work for you, the last thing you could do is download a 1080p version of that video/movie. Just remember, for a movie, it's probably 2 - 11 GB large. Try 720p if that's too large for you. If it's still too large, try HDRip.
How to you take a photo of a mirror and erase yourself from it?
in
I feel like taking a photo of a mirror (for art), yet I don't want my face or the camera to be in it. I want to take the photo directly in front of the mirror, not on an angle. My mirror looks kinda cool so I want to take a photo of the mirror, not a reflection of me.
I DONT WANT IT ON AN ANGLE.
Answer:
First, put something solid in front of the mirror that will be reflected in the mirror. In other words, the only reflection you want in the mirror is something very simple, like a solid color wall. You do NOT want anything with any detail or various colors.
Then, mount the camera on a tripod. YOU do not have to be in the photo. With the camera tripod mounted, you get it initially set up as to composition, focus, exposure, etc, and then you use the self timer to activate the shutter.
You will then have your photo of the mirror from a straight on position, but of course the camera and tripod will be there. No problem. This is why you want only a clean, smooth, even color and lit surface reflecting in the mirror. You then use the clone tool, (not any kind of eraser. An eraser just takes away data. You have to REPLACE data in this instance). So, using the clone tool, you sample an area of the reflection and clone over the camera and tripod, replacing them with the background.
You are going to need a decent photo editing program such as Photoshop.

How to develop 35mm colour film for a beginner?
in
So I ordered the Lomography La Sardina Flash DXL Analogue Camera and it should be arriving soon. It requires 35mm film and I want to start with colour film. How do you develop it at home? Or is there a place that develops the film for you? Thanks!
Answer:
Colour isn't at all easy to DIY, black and white is. There's youtube films about it even and the friendly folks at ilford have written a newbie guide http://www.ilfordphoto.com/Webfiles/200629163442455.pdf (using ilford tools and products of course)
In the US various big chains still process film, wallmart, CVS and wallgreens are common names whenever this question comes up.
Do be awarare that it's not at all uncommon for a roll of film to only shop something in the pictures in 25% of the frames.

How to print a good silhouette in the darkroom?
in
I'm trying to print a silhouetted bridge against a white background in my photo class, but the background can never turn out dark enough while the bridge is pure black. I have a high filter in but still no luck. I've tried dodging and burning but the bridge is such an irregular shape that it's hard to do.
Any tips on how to get this background white and the bridge a pure black?

How to transfer photos from my camera to computer?
in
And to the memory stick?
SIMPLE explanation please, with no jargon!
Answer:
Two ways:
Option 1) Your camera might have an output for attaching a cable to the camera - it might be a mini-usb jack.
Option 2) Your camera probably has a memory card that can be removed from the camera and put in a device that reads cards - or perhaps your computer actually has a card reader for your card built into it.
You will need much more careful instructions in person (or via phone) on what to do once the card is in the reader or the camera is attached via cable
caution: once the card is out of the camera, there is no point in having the cable attaching the camera to the computer.
Also, make two (or more) copies of your photos. Ideally, they would be on two different hard drives, or your hard drive plus two CDs or DVDs.
Unless you are using your camera to view your old photos, once you have made two copies of each image (and you have checked that they are perfect) reformat the card. Your camera has a way to reformat the card, and that is the best way to do it. It deletes all old images, and leaves your card clean and fresh (hate that phrase) to store new images.
