In all fairness, I'd like to have GQDouchetastik also photoshopped out. I think the forest and that rock would be a much nicer view.

So, how much photoshopping do you do on your WAYWN shots before posting them?

I always adjust brightness and contrast, correct for lens distortion, and crop. Sometimes, if adjusting the brightness or contrast washes out part of a picture, I copy and past from the untouched version to keep the detail intact--usually this applies to the sky, which turns from blue and cloudy to blank white.

I regularly remove the Wii from underneath the sofa.

I don't correct clothes, unless something is really distractingly wrong that isn't in similar pictures. I usually take 10-20 shots of the same outfit, in the same pose. So if there's an errant pocket square falling into my pocket in one picture, which is otherwise the best of the lot, I might replace it with the pocket square from another picture in the same series.

No, I do not enlarge my head or my feet.

^ with photo shop skills like yours how can we know anything you post is real? How do we even know are not just posting nude and editing your clothes in?

More seriously though do you just use adobe photoshop? any tips, or guides you are aware of, you have madskillz - I have it but hardly ever use it and really don't feel like I am getting the most out of it

I just use Adobe Photoshop. I taught myself how to use it in high school when I was editor for the school newspaper. Since then, I've used educational discounts to keep up with the newest versions of the software. Never had any formal training, unfortunately. The key is to learn how to use layers.

Thanks. It annoys my wife to no end when we go on vacation. I take 20 shots of anything worth photographing--usually in very quick succession, to be fair. Otherwise, someone's always got their eyes closed or something turns out blurry. With 20 shots in store, you can pick the best and correct any errors.

QFT.

I used Photoshop a decent bit in high school and early on in college. Layers will lead you far, very far, in PS use. When I learned how to use layers, PS became a MUCH more powerful tool.

Maybe you could have added some pick stitching along his lapel...jk.
