Photoshop is used everywhere in the world of photography, whether its obvious or not. In some ways, we don’t even notice how a model’s skin is clearer than normal, or the green in a tree is more vivid than it should be. In other cases, photoshop is used ways to create an obvious effect. Two examples of this that can be fun to make are panoramas and making multiple people appear in the same picture.
Panoramas are made in photoshop by taking several pictures of surroundings that overlap slightly and are then stitched together automatically. These are my examples:
The panorama above is the view of Kuala Lumpur from my balcony of my apartment.
The panorama below is of the library at school.
Several copies of the same person/object can be made to appear on one picture using photoshop. Take several pictures, keeping the camera in the exact same place using a tripod, and move the person/object around in each picture. Then select the person from each photo and paste it into one to make them in duplicates.
The man in my picture above is my dad (and only a few of his vast collection of hawaiian shirts).
The pictures above and below have my cats in them. Foolishly, I didn't realize exactly how difficult it is to get them to keep still.
