The Underwater Lounge

Hey everybody,

Well, it has been a long time since my last post, but after wrapping up a few projects on my end I am back and have plenty of fresh new videos to upload to the Lounge. I am going to start this next series of videos with one more topside tutorial before diving back into some underwater tips. You’ll find this next video quite helpful in injecting tropical blue back into those beach shots with lots of sky. Already got a winner? This technique makes great looking shots spectacular. Have fun with this one and stay tuned for more excitement to come!

Welcome back everyone! For this week’s tip I have decided to show another lesson sample off the home page of Underwater Photoshop. I am in the process of re-rendering the example Flash movies for faster upload times so users with slow connections can enjoy them too, and figured I should just test them right here in the Underwater Lounge. This weeks lesson shows how easy it is to create a very professional looking artistic frame in which to showcase both your underwater and topside images. The technique is easy and fun to do with limitless possibilities. Enjoy!
