Welcome to MinusGraphix.com - The design portfolio of Charlton Ochoa

Photo Manipulation is a Exciting way to test your creativity, Software awareness, and an outlet for incredible advertising.As a designer I like to challenge my self as much as possible. It keeps me on my toes, and ultimately its fun. So, If you are an up and coming designer I challenge you to create wild images from your mind and put them on the digital canvas. Although there are tutorials on the Internet that show Manipulation there is no right or wrong, neither is there any specific direction or steps that can be taken. If it looks "right" than essentially it is "right".

.....The image on the left is a plain very beautiful white tiger image I found on the Internet , and the right is a Photoshop file made up of about seven layers of different artwork, using various techniques with layer adjustments ( Multiply, darken, screen), manipulating the hue & saturation and so forth. This is a minor adjustment to the image, so search the web and get inspired!

On the bottom you will find another photo manipulation image I made earlier this week. On the left you will see the images used as the base of the creation, on the right of course the final outcome. Once again this is made up of several layers,along side some special tweaks ;)
