I have posted previously about the books that are known as the Photoshop Cookbook series by OReilly Go here to read more about it
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/photoblend/ but buy at Amazon for eg where its cheaper
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/059...Fencoding=UTF8
Anyway one of my tasks that I have set myself is to figure out blending modes and how to use them to get an effect I want - rather than just playing. To that end I purchased Photoshop Blending Modes Cookbook for Digital Photographers.
I think the explanationa and tutorials in this book are useful for all levels of PhotoShop users especially for beginners and midlevel experience. So if we have any one interested I thought I would make a weekly challenge here based on the book.
The idea I had is that we would work through one "recipe" a week using our own photos and post both the original photo and the result, with a "how I did it."
There would be no prizes as part of this challenge - Its just simply motivation to learn and share what we learn.
We could wait until June 1st to start to give interested people time to purchase the book ( and by the way I highly recomend the others in the series too for what its worth)
If we get 10 or more Ill set up a special gallery otherwise we can just make it an informal challenge
So if you are interested - add you name to this post
