This is a Photoshop before and after image. The photo was taken from a very good friend of mine, who is one of the most talented photographers I know personally. He wanted some tips on how to use the new version of Photoshop. So naturally I demanded that he give me one of his photos to work with. He has photos from a billion different countries from all his travels. Yes, a billion. This one was taken from Alaska, and it looks like the middle of nowhere. Since he always has great composition in his shots, most of what’s been worked on is color.
I wanted to play with this image because there was a hint of orange in the bottom right side of the sky. And I knew the clouds could be enhanced.
I’ll post steps on Photoshop later.


Wow – I would love to learn more about Photoshop… I know how to do a few things (levels, color balance, resizing, etc), but I have so much to learn!
Off Topic – could you please tell me how you came up with this name for the website and if it means anything in particular?
I’m guessing yummy soup in my (your) tummy? Or ?
Sorry if it sounds weird – I’m just a tad bit curious, that’s all.
And as far as picture editing wise advice…keep it up ! I’m sure there are plenty of your readers who would love to hear more.

Jen – Your photos always come out so beautiful on your blog! So if you think you have so much to learn you hide it well :)
Catalina – Every time I make my husband soup he eats 2-3 bowls, pats his tummy and goes ‘I have soupbelly’, hence the name was spawned.
Happyface – sure, i’ll ignore you. Hehe…
I’ll work on showing the steps right this instant though.
