We get it, you're already using 5 different photo services so why use another?

Your photos belong to you. That's our core belief. So much that we've gone to great lengths to make sure that you remain in control of your photos as you archive, organize and share them on OpenPhoto.

You give us a valet key to your photos and in exchange we make them beautiful and fun.

Despite our best efforts to take great photos, we can't always control the light in our images. When you end up taking a picture with an uneven exposure, this little trick can fix the problem in just a few seconds.

If you have ever photographed a high contrast scene, you know that even the best exposure will typically have blown out highlights and flat shadows. The solution is High Dynamic Range (HDR) Photography processing:
› Take multiple photographs at varying exposure levels
› Merge the photos into an HDR image that reveals highlight and shadow details
› Adjust the settings to get the look you want: from natural-looking with Exposure Fusion to painterly or surreal with Tone Mapping

Zenphoto is a standalone gallery CMS that just makes sense and doesnt try to do everything and your dishes. We hope you agree with our philosophy: simpler is better. Dont get us wrong though Zenphoto really does have everything you need for web media gallery management.

Actually Zenphoto is more than just a gallery for images! It also features multimedia support for audio and video and is even capable of running your entire portfolio website including a news section (blog) and custom pages. This makes Zenphoto the ideal CMS for illustrators, artists, designers, photographers, film makers and musicians.

When it comes to designing in Photoshop, there is a myriad of ways one could use to achieve a certain result, especially when it comes to photo retouching. Designers use technique they are most confident as well as comfortable with, which is great because it’s always useful to peek into the workflow of our colleagues and learn new design approaches. We have had articles on cloning, compositing, masks and obscure Photoshop time-savers in the past. This article is different.

I’ll be covering some of the useful techniques and tricks which I’ve learned from my experience. You may know some of them, but hopefully not all of them. All images used in this article were purchased and are used according to their licenses. The second part of this post will be published in 2 weeks.
