Pro Blog Design

Excellent collection of photo tutorials! I’m definitely going to file this post away for future reference. I started using photos in posts a year ago, but my edits were sadly limited to cropping the photos.

Ehh, this post end up giving me more ideas on post-processing / what to do with my photos instead of using it for my blog.

Generally if I ever need photos for articles that don’t have photo (my hardware / games review come with photos and screen shots) – I’ll just get them at istockphoto and use it, they’re usually just perfect.

To me, I just don’t see the purpose PPing the images used for blog as they’re just decorations as they’re usually great already, unless of course maybe the effect above helps in bring an emphasis to your points.

Nevertheless, I like this post of yours for the links to the tutorials.:D Now it’s just a matter of finding time to pickup those I’ve yet know.

This is an awesome list of tutorials to spice up blog post photos. Although I know how to do a lot of them I went through them anyways and found that other people were using different techniques than what I’m using myself. It’s always nice to see different ways of doing things because you never know when you might have to use one way instead of the other.

Nice collection, that face swap isnt very good though. Check out my version of the same technique, much more in depth.
No offence to the author, but its not very user friendly or accurate.

STUMBLED!

the collage one is very nice, have bookmarked for future use.

Amazing list, this is very usefull.

Awesome collection thanks for sharing!

Nice collection of tutorials..I photoshopped (just the basics) almost every image for every post, it’s quite time consuming. If I were to enhance the images using techniques above, it would take me ages to post a new entry!

Maybe I’ll use them for selected feature posts..thanks for the list! Love the polaroid collage technique..

I am going to try the photo within Photo for my next blog post
Very useful for my photoshop and blogging skills.

I really liked this article. Very interesting and very informative. Thanks for sharing this mate. Cheers.

I like the formal bit.

thanks for these photoshop tutorials

Woah. That’s a huge list of great tutorials! Stumbled for reference!

Michael,

This is such a great resource. You already know that I included it on my weekly list but I thought I would stop by and let you know again how much I appreciate this post.

These were so cool, I bookmarked your page. Thanks!

I just bought photoshop and your post came at the best possible moment! Also going to study some HDR, in case you want to write about something like that too…

Nice post. Obviously a lot of thought has gone into acquiring all of the links for these tutorials. I find another effective method of spicing up blog photos is to use photos with violence in them, and photos with blood and gore in them.

This is great stuff – thanks for the tutorials too.

Great collection of effects for the image enhancement! I bet photographers will like to use these too.

To say that it was good – would be an understatement! Superb collection – stumbled and twittered.

You have a great series of how-to’s here. Now, if I only spent more time on my images for my blogs, I would use all of these (I know, I should!). Found your post after going to Liz Strauss’s birthday party, so wanted to say hello and offer my thanks for your tips.

Nice list… Are there any difficulties incorporating the techniques with large format? Have run into some issues lately.

At first look, the tips look interesting. I’ve observed the same trend with my blog too – the more appealing the visuals, the more pageviews a post gets. In fact, the recent images with DSLR are getting good feedback from readers.

Here’s a complete guide to finding and using Flickr images – http://klck.me/Ep

Great tips here. I think that pictures really do say a thousands words especially if you take the time to enhance them and make them eye-catching. What better way to draw in readers to your articles than by providing an amazing visual representation of it.

I’ve been looking for these tutorials

Nice tips! This will be great ideas on spicing up your blog posts on how to edit photos. There are so many magical things that you can do on enhancing photos and these are the best of all.

All of them are very applicable to me, but the most important for me is giving the picture a strong focus. Although that was very basic, I think I can use that till the next years of blogging.
