This tutorial with photoshop techniques for making your images 'pop' has been submitted by Elise Hennen from 28 Studios. Read more about Elise below.

In this tutorial I will be demonstrating some quick, easy methods for adding drama and/or interest to your shots. As always, talk to me in the Post Processing Section of the Forums with any questions or comments. As far as I know, these methods should work for both Photoshop and Photoshop Elements.
Duplicate your picture layer by dragging the layer to the 'new' icon in the layers palette (ctrl+j).
Apply a gaussian blur (Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur…). Blur it enough that the detail disappears but the shapes mostly keep their form.
In the layers palette, change the blending mode from 'Normal' to 'Overlay.'
If you look at the before and after, you can see that this method makes the light tones lighter and the dark tones darker while softening it a touch. Basically, it softly boosts the contrast. If you want a more dramatic effect, try changing the blending mode to 'Vivid Light' instead of 'Overlay.'
Try it on all kinds of shots: portraits, nature shots, you name it. I use this method ALL the time. It works so well with everything!
This one can be fun… With a picture open, duplicate the layer (as always). Use your lasso tool to roughly select the subject of your image.
Feather the selection by going to Select > Feather (ctrl+alt+d). We want a pretty large feather, so what you input depends on your picture. Try 50 pixels. Go to Layer > New > Layer via copy. You should end up with just your subject on a new layer with a nice feather to it (fades at the edges).
Select the layer copy below your subject layer. Start trying out filters. I used Filter > Brush Strokes > Dark Strokes for this example. Most of the Brush Stroke filters work well with this effect. Using blurs tends to look a little funny. When you've got it all done, your layers palette should look a little like this:
That's it. Try this out with lots of different filters. If you want to tone down the effect, change the opacity of the effect layer. If you want to get more advanced with your subject selection, you can duplicate the layer, mask it out, and use a large soft white brush to paint the subject back in.
Have you ever played with neon glow and wondered when the heck you were ever going to use it? Well, it's time to give it another shot. This can add a touch of color and drama to your shot.
Duplicate your layer, then pull up Filter > Artistic > Neon Glow. Pick a color that you think will complement your shot. In mine, the cat is lit with sunlight, so I went with a yellow to exaggerate that. Start with a glow size of 4 and a glow brightness of 18, then tweak it to suit your shot. This is what I ended up with:
I'll bet you can guess what's next. You got it — change the blending mode to 'Overlay.' Also cycle through those modes: soft light, hard light, vivid light, and linear light. I prefer overlay and vivid light with this effect.
This one nearly passed me by… it's a wonderfully easy effect to soften a picture. Try it on portraits.
Duplicate your layer and apply a Gaussian Blur (Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur) so that the details start to go, but not too much.
Set the opacity of the layer to 50%. This is a great, super-simple way to soften a picture. It can give it almost a dreamy look. Play with opacities until you find something that works really well with your shot.

Honestly this has been a big help.
Great post, thanks! You need to get familiar with basics and after that you can develop more advanced skills.
I am a Photoshop fanatic. It's like I couldn't live a day without uploading a pic and working on it. I very much appreciate these tips that you have here. You know I have wanted to find stuffs like these recently. A quick and easy way to add colors to our Photoshop art is always the best.
Omg what a nice read here! I have been figuring out what extra trick I can do to get something different for my photos. Truly, photos will pop with this new technique. I think I already have some information overload with regard conventional editing styles. Thanks for the great info!
Hi there, I read your new stuff like every week. Your humoristic style is witty, keep up the good work!
Absolutely, I find the advice and tips given here extremely helpful!
I am not a professional photographer but I keep on trying certain things on my own to improve my skills in photography. These ideas are very helpful for beginners like me and I would surely enjoy doing these new ways of editing pictures. Surely, these techniques will make my shots more appealing to viewers.
i really like the gaussian blur technique. i will use this in the future. thanks!
Hello ,
Wow WOW !!! Sincerely thank you for sharing you're great knowledge !!! This has been a huge factor in my applying Layer & creating great finish photos !!! I've been working so hard at complicated ways ..Now this is giving even better result !!! Again ,many thanks ,as many others poeples like me you have made are life a more simpler one with great photos to share with family & friends ...
Amateur photographer grand-ma Jo
Great tips. I'm a newbie and it's amazing how in depth you can go in Photoshop.
Although I do think if it's a great photo it needs hardly anything done to it.
Brilliant technique!! Off to play now :)
I can never edit this image like this but I tried lot can you guide me for that.
i just want to know how to make a photo pop
Superb web site and I keep coming back to learn new techniques and tricks. The last pop on this article is so easy and effective - I feel Christmas cards coming on!!
I just could not go away your web site before suggesting that I extremely enjoyed the standard info a person supply to your guests? Is going to be back regularly to check up on new posts
I'm having a hard time trying to have and work with more then one photo in work space on Photoshops emements 9?
I currently use a compact camera and one of the effects I love the most is blurring of background. Thought I needed to spend a bomb on heavy DSLRs to get this but maybe it looks like I don't.
Can't wait to try these tips out. I especially love the easy blur ... has the romanticized effect that is beautiful.
Overlays are your friend. You want to make you picture pop, try a b/w overlay of your picture, with Gaussian blur and hey presto ... almost all my photos have this with or without the blur ... have a look and what do you think.
If you guys need any help, you can go here!
Great tips! One thing in Photoshop that we use a lot lately is the content-aware tool. It is great for removing items in a photo. Simple use spot healing brush (j), make sure content aware is selected up at the top, and then you and remove just about any items in your photos like they were never there. Awesome photoshop tool!
Blur/Overlay is an interesting option. I get the same effect with duplicating the layer, changing it to "overlay" and reducing the opacity to somewhere between 20 and 30%. If it's too strong, I will use 20% Soft Light instead.
Each of these can be made into an action.
In my workflow I have a 30% Overlay as one action and 20% Soft Light as another action.
Wow! I love that first effect. (blur/overlay)!
How little touches can make a great difference!
Excellent teckniques!
Excellent. I found this most helpful and used it on a few photographs already. Fun! TYVM!
Good PS tips! Simple to understand and easy to do. Never tried the gaussian blur as overlay for contrast and softening.
From your little I enjoy many games. Favorite kind are playing mmog. Available on the market I notice, games occupy a large the main time and while I seemed to be alone Possible play readily.

Excellent idea with gaussian blur!
The effect looks great. I am impressed with how it turned out. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for such wonderful information. I have been looking for getting the effect/result you have explained but could for so long. Believe me, I am so excited ... like I found the answer to filling that one major lack in my arsenal of visual communication tools that I use so often. Thank you so much.
Nice effects indeed. Also nice is if you blur only the outer edges of an image. Everything inside will look like miniatures. there's a name for this, but i can't remember what it is. I'm just starting out with image effects and photoshop.
That blur overlay is an awesome effect.
The blurring affects looks really nice .. I'm currently learning how to use Gimp because photo shop I don't have... but this gave me some ideas.
Its what I need to duplicate my picture layer. Thanks a lot.
The tip about the gaussian blur was awsome.Thanks.
Nice Post!!!
Thanks again
Excellent idea with gaussian blur!
Great tip!
Easy Blur totally makes the picture look completely different and the bird stands right out. Great techniques!
I'm glad I found this web site, I couldn't find any knowledge on this matter prior to.Also operate a site and if you are ever interested in doing some visitor writing for me if possible feel free to let me know, im always look for people to check out my web site.
wow nice tuts i will implement it my photos
The effect looks great. I am impressed with how it turned out. Thanks for sharing
That's a great blurring effect. I've been using it now for a few weeks and it definitely improves my photos. Thanks a million.
Thanks! I especially like the blur effect...I'm going to be using this in my outdoor pictures.
These are some very nice tips. I especially like the blur/overlay tip to get the dark colors darker and light colors lighter. I think it makes the picture look "clearer" somehow.
I have to admit I use the Gaussian Blur > Overlay technique quite often. Really a quick and easy way to enhance your pictures.
The neon glow effect looks interesting, will give it a shot soon.
Thanks again for the great tips.
My wife jsut recently started getting into diting photos with Photoshop. We are using Photoshop 7 though - I can't afford the newest version! Still, for waht she does it works great. If she keeps at it, we might loook into updating.
Wow, these tips are great, and look amazing! I'll have to try them out. Thanks for sharing!
Select the newly created Background Layer and then Filter/Blur/Gaussian Blur.
Wow. Amazing effect. Much thanks for this tutorial. I'll try to make the same.
Great post for the computer dis-inclined like myself. I need help with photoshop as well as video software. I guess we all have our strengths and weaknesses. Thanks for the help though.
Exactly - these techniques you've shared here are worth a ton. I'm a newbie and been trying to learn photoshop and you've helped me a lot. Thanks!
That's a really good technique to make things focus. It's like the images came from a professional camera. I'm just astonished on how this work. I am new to photoshop and these is just perfect for me.
I am laughing reading some of the older comments about this photoshop topic. I do understand what Nick was stating March10th an earlier. Its sad, and wonderful, that we can take an average image, shot by a non-talented photographer, and have it turned into a work of art by a photoshop genius. That's just the way our photographic industry is evolving. I entered an image years ago that won best in show in PPA and Virginia PPA and did nothing to the image but burn and dodge in darkroom, and hand colored it slightly. I took pride in taking portraits off the wall and sending them into competition and winning awards. When asked how much retouching was done to the image, I said none. I believe that pro photographers should be trained in composition and lighting and use photoshop for touch up. I take things out of backgrounds that are distracting all the time. I am not a dinosaur. I am not a purist. But, to use photoshop as the end all, and be of the attitude that "I'll fix in photoshop", I think we've lost something here.
very good post for dummies like me, like it! thanks!
I think it precisely that distinction he takes issue with.
I think Colin it's because some people want to draw a distinction between a photograph and a digital image. The former is taken and the latter is made.
A photo is a moment in time. A digital image is something created over time.
What you prefer is a matter of choice. Personally I prefer photos.
Thanks a lot for these basic lessons. It really made things a lot more easier for me. I am recommending this to all other newbies like me.
I don't know why some of you respondents to this and other blogs continue to waste others' time with your constant whining about using post-processing effects. Every photographer takes and creates on paper, or whatever other media, photographs which he or she wants to take and which please him or her. Everyone has their own different ideas and aims. So what any other person thinks about the process and/or the end result is irrelevant. It is a matter of personal freedom and choice. If the case is that the end result does matter to another party then this will be because the image has been "commissioned" in one way or another and in that case it is for the photographer to create what the client wants, if necessary using any post processing techniques which will help to achieve the goal.
When reading these blogs I often detour to view the galleries of posters and I see quite a number of instances where, if I wanted to be uncharitable and go against my message in general, I would recommend that the poster take his camera back to the shop and leave it there. However, my message is that "these are their photographs and if they make them happy it is not for me or anyone else to question their proficiency or the methods they have used". But I would use this point to say that those who take the so-called purist, dogmatic view about post-processing are, in my humble opinion, just as capable of making elementary mistakes of composition, exposure etc. as the rest of us.
So, whilst they are of course free to express a reasonable opinion, in general these sanctimonious whiners should just shut up and let others get on with enjoying their hobby/profession.
Please keep the "Tips" coming.
try the gradient tool with the sharpen filter in lightroom..... you can get a similar effect
I am a bit surprised some comments on this post. I do not think he should be telling people how to better pictures. I think there are other texts that are the focus. I thought that some techniques to improve your photos if you should choose to use them.
I'm looking to create a Kirlian-like photo. How can I create such an effect around my subjects. I have a mac (snow leopard), Adobe photoshop 6.0 I think. I'm very much a beginner.....even if you kinow a website that can apply this type of effect (not just a neon glow or a solarize or a changing of hues/tints).
Thanks you can email me directly at: email@example.com (#zero after the letter "n") just please include photo-effect or something like that in the subject line.
These are exactly what I've been looking for. I knew a few already, but was able to learn more about the process.
Thanks for the tips! I don't usually like to edit my photos, but not because I'm a purist - - just lazy sometimes.
Evan Johnson
Thanks so much for this post! I am certainly going to use these tips to vamp up my street style pictures.
Looking for a way to make the sky in a converted Infrared image to really pop.
Any suggestions?
The blur/overlay tip was SOOOOOOOOOO helpful.
I don't know how long it's been that i have been envious of others photos because of a look I could not achieve. I kept trying to describe to folks that my images just didn't look crisp, and that theirs were so vivid and smooth. i tried different lenses, and many trials and errors in post processing. THIS WAS WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR!!!
This very well might be a very novice idea, and all you folks learned it a long time ago, but to me, it's awesome!!!
I finally found that look I was searching for!
Great guassian blur technique. bet it works great with a gradient delete on the top layer
nice photoshp tecnques for photograpy..
I was staring at the first couple of pictures going "man, this place looks really familiar". Like, REALLY familiar. And then I saw the picture of the guy on the star speeder and it hit me. These were all taken in Orlando, specifically on or near Disney property.
Now, onto feature related comments. This was incredibly helpful. I usually go into Photoshop and just boost the saturation up about fifteen points and mess with levels, and sometimes that makes my pictures just look awful. But next time I'm working on something, I will definitely keep your tips in mind.
awesome, i like it... but why blur the bird??? its already beautiful... my fav is #1, already tried using several layer with different setting from 1 photo and the result is very good... thanks.
very interesting tutorial, a better picture could have been used to illustrate the neon glow effect though. I have to admit I never knew what to do with the neon glow effect either so it has been useful. Don't forget you can download the gimp which is totally free software and does most of the things that photoshop does, (this is hand if your a bit broke!).
i lik dis blog, b4 2 do anytin stuff in photoshop na big problem, but wit dis i can enhance more in my designing.
Haha hey! I have to say i have been working and reading and doing things on photoshop for a few years now...and u know i have always woundered how to just spice my pics up. In the few mins i sat down and learn to do these things i started making thing i didnt know i could make lol. I love photoshop and to most people i look like a pro but i got to say your awesome! If u could plz teach me me more or something that would be awesome...i love just makeing things creative and eye poping!
I made a blog that tells you which photo editor options/settings to use in order to enhance your photos and keep them looking natural. The specific settings (values) are listed so everything should be clear.
You can see my blog in:
The page that shows the settings (for the free photo editor Picnik – you don't need to install it or register to use it) is:
If you're interested feel free to try enhance your photos and please let me know how that worked for you – you can leave comments in my blog. It did a good job for most of my photos (not all) so I wonder how it will work for other people's photos.

This actually helped a lot with what I was doing. I'm glad I found this. Maybe you'll have some more tips that will come in handy! You're awesome dude, thanks :]
heres mine http://www.flickr.com/photos/i3pie/4820229530/
Wow, these techniques really are a timesaver. Too bad there aren't more to read ;) This article was really pleasant to go through and the techniques are really easy to apply. Thanks for sharing.
Great post and tips as usual.
Tip #4 - When adding the Gausian blur, won't the whole image blur out? How to get the portrait (face of a woman) alone to remain sharp and blur the whole background out.
I might not have got that tip/trick, please help.
Thanks in advance.
wow this was very helpful thankyou! ive been trying for days to remove the noise from a concert shot that i got and have been unsuccessful after reading many blogs, so i gave up and thought maybe if i just tweak the photo it will make it look better, and the first effect you did almost completely removed the noise without sparing any of the detail!! so stoked, thankyou!
dude that butterfly shot is great!
I reallay like #4 - can't wait to try it on a portrait to soften the wrinkles (an easy digital facelift)
Excellent tips for making some grate looking images.
I have never tried the gausian blur function before but will definitely give it a try since I can see it's value now.
Im having a hard time figuring out the Gaussian Blur. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have seen it done where you have a picture of a women lets say. I want to smooth her skin using Guassian blur and instead on blurring the entire image and then going back and bringing back the detail on the eyes, lashes, eyebrows, etc. I want to only put the Gaussian blurr where I want. If i can go around the eyes, nose etc. Can anyone tell me if they have heard of this. I have seen it. But i don't know how to master it. I am using "Gimp"
wow i love this haha
woah guys wats with the name calling, personally i enjoy the easy and simple steps he has layed out
While I'm not a huge fan of these techniques by themselves, they are good leaping points to other techniques such as emulating a tilt shift look with blur. I'm a huge fan of learning it all and then applying it to fit your looks. Thank you for these!
i have learned more about this post so . I am hoping the same best work from you in the future as well. In fact your creative Editing abilities has inspired me
THanks!! Learn a lot!!! superb work!
No need to get personal guys and try to keep this conversation constructive. I'm happy for people to share their views and debate the issues - but lets keep things in perspective, not get into name calling and try to keep things civil. We're all on the same side here and have an opportunity to learn from one another.
Easy there tiger, you're becoming abusive. It doesn't inspire confidence in your opinions.
I don't know how many award winning shots you've created but I still don't take your point. I would 'save' a potential award winning shot by removing a technical fault, I would not 'create' an award winning shot by changing a grey sky to blue, adding things that weren't there or taking away things that were.
Now you may call that pedantic, but I see as it as having some artistic integrity. I believe Magnum and other respected authorities take much the same view. If it's a photograph and labeled as such it should have as little manipulation pp as possible. If it's labeled 'digital art' you can do as much PP as you want.
Working in advertising I have been editing in Photoshop, as I say, since it came out. It's a useful tool, it can save, even 'cheat' important shots that are being used for commercial purposes and it can make a silk purse out of a sow's ear too. But commercial photography is a different animal.
I read these posts to update my knowledge of what is possible. Photoshop has depths many of us will never plumb.
I do feel a note of caution about over manipulation is worth sounding now and again though.
@nick: So you're saying you'd deliberately lose a potentially award-winning shot because you're too stuck in your old fashioned and pedantic ways or, as mdb has suggested above, maybe you haven't a clue about editing in Photoshop. mdb also has a good point: if this article isn't for you, why are you here? Don't like the word, bigot? How about anally retentive?
I think its a question of definitions, semantics maybe. What is a photograph and what is artwork?
If old school means focusing on composition in camera, waiting for the perfect moment, even coming back later to get the light, then I am old school.
I am perfectly proficient in photoshop, Ive been using it since Mac was OS7, but as a remedial tool not a creative one. I certainly don't want to spend a great deal of time in front of a computer doctoring images. That is perfectly valid way to create images but I don't see it as photography which involves putting your coat on and getting out the house.
So the view from my high horse is 'look for the shot, don't create it later'. Im happy to read artilcles to see what the pixel pushers are up to, though.
It really annoys me when people get on their high horse when it comes to editing. Some of the most amazing images I have seen certainly are not straight out of camera. The thing I love most about photography is that I can be creative with it and to me, it is artwork. For someone to say that you should only use these techniques if your images look like crap is ridiculous. I think some of these people are old school and don't want to take the time to figure it all out, and that is fine if they don't want to and are happy with their images. For some of us though, these tips are fun and informative and it doesn't mean our images look like crap or that we are less of an artist just because we like to change it up a bit. If you don't need this article, don't read it and let the rest of us benefit from it.
good work for newbies.
Harsh words such as 'bigot' are out of order, but you clearly feel very strongly
As I say, I will continue to take the Magnum approach to post manipulation of images. I will keep it to a minimum necessary to fix technical problems and to crop to recompose
I would let your hypothetical drinks can go by, or come back later, or forget it. I want what is there, not what I want to be there (or not there). Manipulation is a slippery slope, should not a photograph be 'true'? Why not add a spaceship for a bit of drama? Maybe that grey sky would be better blue? Let's remove that person from the group photo, we don't like him any more.
Admen bend images to fit their dream, but that's business.
@Chris Hodapp: Well put! I completely agree.
@Nick: I disagree. I think you're being blinkered. You think that removing objects is unacceptable? So you'd be happy to swim way out into a river to remove a drinks can that some idiot has littered which is the only thing that's spoiling an otherwise great shot? Personally I'd remove the object in Photoshop -- no one could tell the difference I promise you! But you'd get wet would you? And risk losing the light and the shot? You state that 'photography is about capturing a moment' - I think it's that and more: it's about creating great images. You say you're a purist, but I'm sorry, your attitude seems to me to show you as more of a pedant and bigot.
The sensor processes yes but the cells at the back of your eye turn light into electrical signals, old film 'processed' the light through chemical reactions. That's a red herring point you're making
Framing a scene is composition, not fabrication. Exposure is mostly practical, making the image viable.
I personally am not dismissing post processing on principle, I'm saying too many people actually 'create' their images in PP and that's not photography that's digital art.
The old rules apply I think, no more post processing than is necessary to fix practical issues such as badly exposed areas (dodging and burning) any dust or other mechanical issues (spotting) and cropping to adjust composition. Adding clouds, removing objects etc is not acceptable to a purist like me.
Photography is about capturing a moment, even if you have to wait all day for it. It's not about creating an idealised moment later.
If you are going to be harshly critical of any post-processing done in Photoshop, then you may as well be harshly critical of digital photography in general, because any image you can see has undergone far more extensive processing from the electrical signals the sensor generates.
And why restrict criticism to what occurs after the shutter? You're already heavily fabricating an image by all the ways you influence a scene, by where you point the camera, by waiting for particular lighting, by setting the various optics and filters, by setting aperture and exposure time, and by your timing.
This notion that your camera produces unaltered, divine images is really quite ignorant.
Plenty of reasons exist to shoot a picture so that little or no post-processing is necessary. Plenty of room exists to reject particular post-processing techniques because they look kitschy or gaudy. But dismissing post-processing altogether on principle is needlessly bigoted.
Awesome, I've always been a real idiot with photoshop (yep, the cold, hard truth), but that's something even I can do. Very handy little guide, thanks!
Thanks this is a wonderful post with great information i will be applying these techniques on my next photo editing project. Much respect.
Great tips! As for the cheating - look at it as a sort of make-up. Every girl looks much better with make-up - under condition, that it was made in such a way to improve the look and not to stand out. Make-up must be the "means" and not the "end", if you know what I mean.
I enjoyed that post yet I can't seem to find those functions. I use a adobe photoshop elements 8 on a mac could you explain how to find and do these things on this program, please?
This tutorial will stay tagged in my Favorites so I can refer to it again and again with new photos. Thank you for making it simple for us beginners!
These are very useful tips, as always, at the right time and place. However, I am very surprised at the amount of opposition to the use of alteration to a photo that has appeared in the comments. True, there is absolutely no substitute for starting out with a good capture, but the simple process of printing the photo involves some manipulation. The sign of a master craftsman is his ability to use his tools to achieve the desired result, and if post processing is the sign of a inexpert or amature photographer, then Ansel Adams is a hack.
@ Nick (23 December 2009 post):
I'm sorry but that sort of old fashioned - perhaps even luddite - attitude gets me riled. Of course, there's no substitute for a good photo in the first place, but the whole point surely is the result: if it's a beautiful image or photo - call it what you like - does it matter how it was created? No doubt there were artists way back at the dawn of photography who asserted that photographs couldn't be called art because they weren't created with brushes and paint, or pen and ink, or whatever. Cameras, computers and software are just tools, and they should be used, appropriately, to achieve the desired result: a good, striking and beautiful image, regardless of how it was created.
Fantastic tips! What a difference it makes... #1 is the technique and look I have been searching for. So simple & so effective. I want to buy everyone lunch.
I like most these articles. I think it'll bear much advantages for me. I filter among all the techniques.
When it comes to making images pop I find levels and curves work well. I start with a level layer just to check the image is using the full tonal range. If the graph is in the centre of the range I move the white point down and the black point up. If your hold down the alt key in photoshop it will show you when you start to blow the highlights. You want to stop just before that. When it comes to the black point I am not so picky. I would rather have a bit of jet black than every last bit of detail in the shadows. So I will move the black point up to clip the bottom of the graph. If the graph covers the whole range then I will use a S shaped curve to boost the contrast and the colour saturation. My Photoblog has details of all the levels curves and layers I use for each post.
I am a newbie t photoshop and had no idea how to use it, and this just opend up a whole can of worms!!! COPY background Duh Liz!!!!!!!!!
The first tip is really quiet useful. Thanks much for posting this information to help fellow photographers out!
I think the point is to create in camera as much as possible, even down to the crop. The old masters would print their negatives in their entirety having carefully framed in the first place.
The danger of post processing is that it never really stops. Because it is non destructive you never make decisions that you can't undo and so it's hard to say 'that's it., done'
I believe many competitions now limit post processing of images to what would have been achievable in a darkroom - dodging, burning etc.
This all begs the question of what photography now is, of course. A beautiful image is a beautiful image, but if it was largely created post prod, is it actually a photo anymore? I'd say not
It is an extremely interesting blog with pictures full of living colors.
it`s absolutly fantastic!!!
i really love the neon glow effect.. thinking of doing it to one of my post processed photos later.
thank you very much.. :)
simple & useful, thanks mate
Too simple, but it works great!!!
Great stuff, I read it , try it , and it makes lot of differences to my photo. And as a matter a fact I put that photo on Flickr
Hi Ruth,.. I could probably help,..
but without seeing your file (layers, color mode, etc) its hard to tell can you email me screen captures?
Some of the Filter options are grayed out when I try some of these tricks. (Brushes, Artistic, Texture)
Can you tell me why?
I am on a Mac.
LOL,.. awesome
kinda like following this tutorial:
The only technique I think will work is the neon effect and the easy blur...
you may have an empty layer that you are trying to guassian blur or possibly the layer is not selected to guassian blur,... you may also have selected something without knowing unabling you to perform the task???
without seeing your file and layer setup its hard to tell,..
as with photoshop tho,.. certain filters and effects have a lifespan and can date your image very quickly if you don't study what's current and what's not,.. safest thing to do is is find timeless techniques that wont date your pics,.. after using photoshop for 14 years, the best techniques are the subtle ones,.. usually you can find out if the photoshop user is an amateur versus pro because of the inexperience in using "every trick in the book" on one image versus being subtle and using one effect,.. on the flip side tho,.. just because its current doesn't mean it is usable either!,. my wife and i are on opposite ends of the spectrum,.. were as she wants it solve in the camera,.. and I have the attitude of solving it in photoshop,.. we both come to the same conclusion at the end,..which is to just have a great visual
I think I must be missing something, I just cant do the guassian blur overlay??
Have I missed a step or something? I am trying to do this first move on a portrait. HELP
Thank you very much. I'm learning a lot of different things with this blog. I've liked specially this article, because these 4 pieces of advice are very useful and easy. And it's a good way to improve the digital photo's knowledge. The easy way.
Thanks again. I read this blog always that I can. Sorry if my English is not so good.
man those effects are really lame. I knew all of them years ago when i was a beginner.
Im sorry - Im a real amateur here. I'm trying to do tip #1 Blur and when I get to Gaussian Blur Photoshop tells me "could not complete Gaussian Blur becasue selected area is empty". Could someone pls advise what I'm missing?
Thanks :-) Felicity
Good job! But do you know Gimp? IIt is a free softawre product and I think it is going to offer similar services to the best commercial products... In my post-production as a wedding photographer I use it in a successful way.
I reccomend your site to a lot of my clients as it is so clear and easy to follow.
I love your write-ups. Even though I knew how to do these, reminding me that they exist and sending these tuts to friends and family are well worth the time i spend here.
Seriously, thank you! My heartfelt thanks for all that you do to make the internet awesome.
Thank you! I especially like the blur/overlay.
Personally, I recommend you stay as far away from Photoshop Filters as you possibly can. They look cheesy and amateurish 99% of the time. You may think it looks cool, but it doesn't. Just trust me on this.
I never thought about trying out a blur overlay, can't wait to use that one! thanks Cathy
I'm a recent reader to this blog - my first visit was because your romantic candlelight article contained a picture of a friend of mine - the bearded old dude writing by candlelight. I've loved everything I've read here so far - and it's all practical and stuff I can use.
Thanks for taking the time to produce quality content.
OMG I cannot grasp photoshop, it does my head in every time.... Help!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Darren,
I'm a yearbook teacher and really found the "4 Easy Photoshop Techniques to Make Your Pictures Pop!" article helpful. Is there anyway I can get a PDF of it for my students?
keep the usefull advice coming, i just tried out the train set tecnique with a random photo from my harddrive, i cant believe how simple but effective it was!
Very glad I found these tutorials. Thanks for the tips!
I really enjoy all the tips that you send. I am sure I could find these in books but would spend hours and now I have a couple of tricks to try! Thanks a bunch, keep them coming.
I think the blur/overlay technique is a variation of The Orton Effect, to which there is a link above in 'If you enjoyed this article, you might also like...'
As for using these effects - well, it's personal taste. You need to try things as your skills develop, only to reject them later, perhaps. But here is the how to, always room to learn.
the idea is to have an option just in case you are board with your old photos...it will be a great idea if you look for your old photos and try to do these enhancements...you will surely love it and start sharing them again to your old friends...
I am glad that I stumbled across this sight. It really taught me some useful filters that are really easy. Probably never would of thought of it.
It has been amazing to grow any business on the Internet, I need to market strategically to my customers, using a range for tools from content sharing to email marketing, search engine optimization, co-branding, ad buys, and more, to reach your target audience.
I just tried this technique on a portrait and the result was amazing. I had been trying for a few days to "pop" the color off the print and nothing got it were I wanted it - that is until I tried your suggestion. Thanks!
this is great for self studying like me, very helpful yet simple easy to follow steps. love it...
keep it!
I will spend the next couple of hours working on some of these. Great tips.
I'm a wedding photographer from the Philippines... I'm using these techniques for almost 2 years already... and it really worked for me together with masking and other techniques in Photoshop... specially that in weddings the photographer is just relying on whatever is available in the set and with equipments available... The rest of it is Photoshop already... but of course you really have to get the nice angles of the shot... after that it's Photoshop....
Thanks for sharing this technique..
Thanks for you very useful info.
Thanks for the soft blur thing, helped me finish my masterpiece...
Great tip with the blur layering
Great stuff!
THANK YOU!! Finally got to know how LAYERS work! Thanks for the simple yet enlightening tutorial... it opened another door for me to express my images. Just have to relate back to GIMP becos i'm not using photoshop ; )
Thanks again!
thanks for this! :) i used some techniques on my portrait shots and i love the angelic surreal glow. perfect for young subjects :)
With Photoshop, there's always something new to learn. Thanks for the detailed tutorial. Keep it coming! :-)
hehe..wow..cool techniques..i never knew dis..

you rock!!!!
dont worry..i'll tell them whose that nice person who become my guru :D
my computer and you!!!
exelente tutorial, muchas gracias !!
Wow, I will stry this tecniques.. Easy and with good results...
As a hobbyist photographer for years, I try and capture the best image that I can, but within the limitations to my creativity that time, location, element of surprise etc can stand in my way of the result.
Some of my favourite images have been captured and then manipulated and they inspire me greatly.
Manipulating the end result of a photo is by far not a new concept as it has always been around since film photography, so learning these varied techniques is something I enjoy.
Love that blur/overlay! I am a fan of experimenting with blending modes for layers but I haven't tried that one.
Hi - great tutorial, thanks. I use most of these techniques myself but there was one or two I had never used before. Another interesting technique is to take a layer that is mostly transparent - duplicate it, gaussian blur it, add a low opacity rainbow gradient blending mode, then merge the layers. Gives a surreal, colourful aura to an object.
Hi.. your techniques were very simple yet very effective... It
helps me a lot specially for my rush post-processing before i make lay-outs on wedding albums.. Thanks for the tips .. It's amazing.. God bless
I have been looking for easy tutorial fixes forEVER
And I am AMAZED at these. I love all of them!!
Nice stuff
Ima try it out soon!
This is a magnificent video and tutor
I like this tutorial very much. Thanks. It is very easy, effective and handy. I want more like this.
thx for that
simpel and so nice
i like at
Very simple and tedious techniques.
Awesome stuff, simple and fast, thx dude
Hi. I just followed a link from a photo group to this site. It's interesting; I do photography where I work of boring instruments. I've been using the Gaussian blur technique for some time, but I use it to make a shadow of the instrument and offset it a bit both horizontally and vertically. Easy to do with text as well and much more flexible than using the 'shadow' that's in some font menus.
It's fun to play with Photoshop--I've gotten so much more bold once I learned to use and position layers.
I'll bookmark this blog. Thanks.
You have just increased my enjoyment ten fold. I love to toy around in my graphics program but I must admit....there are so many bells and whistles that I often get overwhelmed. I took the above tutorials and applied them (with variations) to the same photo and got ten different looks - all equally wonderful. Thanks for your efforts.
wow cool!..these are good tips. im lovin it!! thx for that. keep up ur good work,k? ^^
i'd like to see another cool tips.
Thanks :-)
Nothing wrong with editing to one's heart's desire, as long as he remembers this:
Editing is a SUPPLEMENT to good photography, NOT a replacement for it!
That's important!
-Vince :-)
Elise- Thank you for the tips on making my photos pop. I appreciate your simple directions and use of pictures to aid in my learning. YOU ROCK!
I now take most pictures with digital camera (compact 5mp, not DSLR), I found so far on my computer screen, the sharpest pictures with the best colors were those taken with film and scanned. With compact digitals, auto-everything, almost cost nothing to take pictures, I found the output to be 100% family snap shots. With limitations of digital compacts, without photoshop and some time in front of the computer, don't even dream of many printable pix. For 1 aspect, the depth of field of most digital compacts are way too deep and one can hardly take a portrait with blurred background if the pose is more than 3 feet from the camera. On the other hand, knowing and experimenting with all that photoshop has to offer makes me wonder would there be any "real photo" in a few years from now! Is the advancement in technology killing photography too quickly.
nice, the last one really looks cool
So simple that even I could do it. Your tutorial approach to step-by-step works wonders. Thanks!
I got the blur/overlay tip years ago from [the amazing] Scott Kelby at a Photoshop conference. It's pretty widely used. You can probably find all of my tips in some form or another elsewhere on the internet... I write my tutorials myself, but that doesn't mean that other people don't use the same techniques as me.
and thanks for all the positive feedback! :)
i have to confess, i am not very good with photoshop other than adjusting contrasts and rotate the photos. but these are some pretty fun tips and i may try with family photos. thanks for inspiring me to "play" with photoshop!
That blur/overlay sounds like an exact copy of something writting on dooce.com a few years ago.
Thanks for these tips. I'm with some of the commenters above in that I don't like to over photoshop my images, but I think these tips are great.
My favorite was Tip #1. My personal preference on that tip was to set the blending mode to "Soft Light" and then adjust the layer opacity to get just the right amount of "pop". (For an example of this see www.brennphotography.com/blur-overlay). I found that doing this, while less dramatic and way more subtle, was a way to keep the pictures looking more true to life.
No tip is perfect and no tip is perfect for every image, but I think that's what great about this post. You can learn something from these tips and then apply it in your own way to your own images.
Thanks for the tips!!!
Wow, I am just blown away by the quality of your tips.
Keep up the great contributions.
Sunny Scarborough
I've heard and used many of these before. The filter debate is a decent one, but as many have said knowing which buttons to push is only half the battle.
It's not hard to teach someone how to hold a paintbrush or use a camera. Teaching them to take that basic knowledge and make something with it is a whole other story.
So long as filters aren't abused, they are fair game.
You know, I keep reading the comments that are so critical of using filters and special effects. As a professional wedding and portrait photographer, I have to say that I am surprised that anyone would not use any tool available to them to offer a unique, creative and quality product weather it is for yourself to enjoy or for a client that you may have been contracted by. Also, as with any artform, photography is an always evolving form of expression, it is not just to represent the reality that so obviously exists, but to engage all of the viewers 5 senses. And, Critics, are you all not aware that before digital, not only were many of these effects done in the darkroom as stated so appropriately by "admartist", but were there not filters and effects that were applied at capture?
And I will guess that abstract art was never a favorite of yours since it looks so "unreal", god forbid.
Sorry, I had to vent on this. Can we really be applying boundaries into what defines a beautiful image? How limited an imagination that must create, for if it does not exist in reality, it is not to be appreciated for its beauty?
love the tips.
work with the gaussian blur and love it much.
Thanks for these tips Elise. I've used the Gaussian Blur one before but am keen to try out the others you show in the tutorial.
I'm a bit surprised by some of the comments on this post. I didn't think it was supposed to be telling people how to take better photos. I expect there are other posts that focus on that. I thought it was talking about techniques to enhance your photos IF YOU SHOULD CHOOSE TO USE THEM. So those commjents about 'the artistic integrity of photography' seem pretty misplaced.
Great techniques, thanx for doing this. I've been doing a lot of post-processing based on photos from the online world of Second Life, as shown here:
Some of this I knew before, but it's good to know they're handy and practical, and used by others. I'm always hungry to learn more!
Thank you, Elise. I'm a PhotoDeluxe holdout (learned on it, have not seen a need to change). This tutorial translates to my older, simpler program, and I'm thrilled! Usually I get apologetic not having PhotoShop . . . not anymore. I've been unsaturating that second layer before blurring, and as often as not the overlay setting at maybe 30% opacity gives an atmospheric look. For those of us who cannot buy new cameras on a whim, Thanks again.
I really love your tips. Not everyone has the knack to be a professional, so these tips work great! Thanks for sharing.
Did you know that your website is blocked in China? I have to use a surrogate gateway like vtunnel.com to view it. Weird huh?
Awsome love this site there is always good tips & info to learn from... thank you :)
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! These tips are amazing, and simple. I love them.
I usually use UnSharp mask with a maximum radius, 0 treshold and 20-40% to bring more contrast to an image. It's magic.
Set the layer to screen for the real hazy dreamy look. Really gives the feel of a soft-focus filter.
This is probably the most useful PS tutorial I have ever read. The blur/overlay thing is such an amazing little trick, it makes almost every picture I have ever taken look loads better. I also find it can be useful to tone down the effect by reducing the opacity, and sometimes soft-light works better than overlay, but thanks for bringing this to my attention!
Awesome! thx!
Good effects, except for the neon glow on the cat.
Hi and thanks very much for that supercool and easy effects, hope there will come more of such simple and effective tipps. Thanx
There's no use arguing on whether you should or should not use PhotoShop filters and how they look so 90's (or other decade).
Photography can be about personal expression... which means whatever floats your boat goes.
Photography can be about replicating the world as you see it... and if you have to tweak a few things electronically to compensate for your camera... then so be it.
Photography can be about highlighting an issue / subject and if you need to blur out some background in a natural way... or a creative way... use the tools you have available for your need.
There's a reason that digital photography took off... where else can an individual do so much with so little (sometimes talent, sometimes money)... It's become the easiest "artistic" outlet for people.
Follow your own desires while respecting others.
Fantastic trick on the #1 blur overlay!!
This is what we have been looking for for our wedding photographs to produce the best quality!
kewl effects ...
though i saw it some other sites ...
ur is better ...
thanks ...
a lot of photoshop tutorial on digg frontpage lately, even video tutorials but and i think this is one of the best.. bookmarked!
-So Hot, Asia
Hi and thanks for these quick tips! I just used the first technique on this picture I have of my daughter that I really like and it looks great! Amazing how quick and easy it was to make the pic more "deep" and appealing.
Very cool, very practical suggestions. Many thanks.
The results from the first tip look decent. I'm going to fiddle around with that a bit.
However, the other three come across looking really amateurish and dated (late 90's paint shop pro anyone?). Probably because, as Martin said, it's really easy to see what you did.
Thanks for posting the first one, but the other three I could live without.
Always some great tips....however, I have enough blur in all my shots. lol. No help needed.
i like the first and last techniques.
I've been doing the gaussian blur+overlay for a while now. It's particularly useful when you're trying to clean up a photo that's been enlarged or has too much mezzotint, grain, or artifacting (from a video source).
Thanks for the other three useful tips!
The first and the last examples jus adding soap effect to the photo. I really hate photos like that!
Excellent! Great tips. I especially like #2, always wanted to know how to do that.
Love the tips! Photoshop is like...magic...and mostly undiscovered for me, so this is really helpful.
I used the last trick quite often when I had access to photoshop, and I really really love it. It's especially good for stuff like portraits and if you're into making desktop wallpapers out of your photos. Sometimes you might want to experiment with the amount of blur and the amount of transparency of the respective layers to get subtly different effects.
I personally (my opinion) do not like filter effects that you can see. That is just my view.
However, the tutorials - whether you like the results they give or not - offer the reader a further understanding and a point of research. For example, hmm... If I can duplicate a layer and blur it and overlay it to give an effect, I wonder what would happen if I duplicated a layer,'posterized (or other filter!)' it and set it to colour dodge.
It's all food for thought - you have to experiment to gain any real world experience and knowledge.
Keep them coming!!!
Some great tips there, thanks for the detailed run-down and everything.
I also use Shadows/Highlights quite a bit to make the occasional photo stand out a little more, as well as an Omni light under the Lighting Effects menu in Photoshop - quite handy sometimes :)
Good job on the tips Elise! I liked #2: filter the background. I had fun applying different filters to get interesting effects to the background. Have you tried CS3 yet? Way cool, you can turn "regular" filters into Smart Filters that can be edited at any time.
Anyway keep up the good work and will be looking forward to more of your tips.
"it's all about artistic expression!"
If it were all about the 'art' I doubt you'd be using "artistic" filters in Photoshop that any monkey can use in a couple clicks.
I'm obviously with Martin.
It's so easy to show someone how to click a few buttons and manipulate something. But I think the understanding of when and how much should be applied is so much more important than the technical process.
Good points Martin (I want to visit Germany some day--good photo ops!), but, Hey, it's all art, anyway! Whether or not you tweak your photos, it's all about artistic expression! :) Thanks for the tips, Elise! This is a great blog--I just joined. Yay! These are fun tools we can use to express ourselves.
By the way, Martin, you probably get nicer photos in Germany just because you have prettier things to photograph than where I live! With the scenery around here, I NEED photoshop! *g* just kidding (photo opportinities are everywhere if you know where to look....)
While this sort of thing will always be more useful for some than others (photoshop tutorials often get criticised by some and praised by others depending at the commenter's experience level and personal tastes) - I personally loved these simple tips.
Please can we have more?
Love the Blur/Overlay tip! I'll have to try it with some nature shots that I have!
Thanks for the tips!
I live in a fairly cloudy region and often get dull colors so the first technique does wonders with some of my image.
These tips are great. When I read the headline, I thought it would be centered around the basic editing techniques. But I can see now that this is very much geared toward the artistic side of photo editing.
The Blur/Overlay and the Easy Blur techniques are my favorites from these tips.
I'm all for getting good pictures and altering them (if at all) only in the slightest. That's what I do most of the time. The purpose of these is just to add a little something, and is certainly not meant to use all the time for all your pics.
The only one among these that I use often is the first... it's a subtle effect and can add a lot to a picture without making it look very Photoshopped. The last one works well on portraits, etc... it usually doesn't look over-done and helps to soften a picture.
I certainly agree that overly-photoshopped images tend to look cheesy. Photoshop is a powerful tool that should be used in moderation. But sometimes it's ok to have some fun with it.
Nice simple tips. I can't wait to try them out.
While Martin and the SexyNinjaMonkey have some good points -- as amatuer photographer who may never get the time or hardware that it will take to make these images without some of these basic photoshop steps -- it's just nice to cheat sometimes.
Nice blog - I read it every day. There's always something new to learn or to re-realize.

Another perspective: While I am obsessed with image quality and I never quit striving to increase the number of my shots that are technically perfect, I believe good technique alone does not make a superior, or even an accurate, image. Photography has many many inherent limitations due to the equipment and, at its best, is an imperfect method of capturing light and documenting 'reality'. Even shots that are as technically perfect as possible often fall far short of the actual scene. Just changing brands of digital camera could give the same results as the edits of the train set, cat, and bird.
Editing is as old as photography. Most of the really famous images of the olden days are NOT straight from the camera--in fact, 'straight from the camera' did not exist before digital except with Polaroid type instant pictures. The filters and methods in Photoshop were originally derived from traditional darkroom manipulations of film development and printing, they are just easier, faster and less toxic.
Isn't photography all about visual communication? If edits/tweaks/effects serve to support what one is trying to say with an image, I say go for it. I wouldn't rule out any method that could help make my images communicate what I really 'saw' and/or 'felt' at the time. Thanks very much for the tips!
I'm with martin... I've been working on ways to make sure my photo's look the way i want them too with as little editing as possible (if any). I think doing this has improved my photography somewhat. But yes, if your pic's constantly turn out looking like crap... try some of these techniques to make them that little bit more appealing.
Hello. I really love this blog and I have read very much interesting and helpfull stuff !
I hope its okay to critizise this entry .[?]. In the beginning of my photography-career I used this filters very often. You can have a "not very good" photo on you pc, but with this techniques the look really good [in the first seconds]. As I recognized this I tried to do better and better shots and less of the filters. Yes, I am a big fan of editing my images, but I try to do this in a way it is not seen ... You know what I meen ? In my opinion it looks much more "eyecathing" over the long term if your visitors can*t actually say what you did to make an image look like.. Hope this critique is not too hard ;)

Although they are good for basic sharpening, they excel as tools for truing other tools, particularly bench stones. They do an excellent job on water stones and vastly simplify the task of keeping them flat. The extra-coarse (220x) or coarse (325x) diamond stones are the best for this purpose. The fine stone (600x) can also be used, but it is best for fast steel lapping or general sharpening. The extra-fine stone (1200x) is ideal for fine sharpening — it puts a factory-quality finish on carbide and is also excellent for cutlery. The manufacturer aims for a surface tolerance of ±0.003", but you can be safe in assuming a tolerance of ±0.005".
Available in three sizes. The 6" stones are 2" wide by 3/4" high and include a wooden base with non-skid rubber feet. The 8" and 10" double-sided stones have a different grit on each side. The 8" is 2-5/8" wide by 3/8" high. The 10" stone, at 4" wide by 3/8" high, is a specialized size for very large stones or wide plane blades.
A non-skid mat is included with each double-sided stone. For those who prefer a mounted stone, the plastic stand (will fit 6", 8" or 10" stones) can be purchased as an accessory.

The mark they must beat is 376.363 mph, and Triumph hopes that they can be the first two-wheeler to break the 400 mph barrier. To help them in that effort, they have enlisted road racer and daredevil Guy Martin to aid their cause, picking up where their LSR project stalled in 2015.

In perspective: Telling the apartheid story
Vusi Mahlasela
at Starr Hill
November 25
The day after Thanksgiving has transformed into consumer day. People who wouldn't consider getting out of bed at the crack of dawn to attend a peace rally or perform an act of public service will motivate to be the first in line at Circuit City or Best Buy for a 60 percent off sale.
In response to such nutty stuff-mania, others have joined forces to declare that day Buy Nothing Day devoted to protesting the actions of those who put their focus on the material. [See Photophile, page 30.]On one side you have consumers, on the other you have the consumed. Either way, shopping is still the focus of everyone involved.
This year none of that chaos concerned me. Maybe it had something to do with the profound influence Vusi Mahlasela made during his performance the previous Tuesday at Starr Hill. Beyond his musicianship, knowledge of and empathy for the apartheid struggle that birthed his genius dwarfed the trivial nature of the consumer debate.
The man is a testament to the power of music and the passion of the oppressed. He's a legend in his own right, having achieved superstar status in his country of South Africa because of music he composed and performed for the native people during apartheid. The opportunity to see him perform in an intimate venue the size of Starr Hill was a holiday gift more precious than any I can think of.
Mahlasela is a powerful presence with or without a guitar and microphone. He radiates honest humility and genuine kindness, beckoning his audience from the moment he sets foot onto the stage. When he picks up his guitar, something magical happens. His voice and guitar lock into an energy larger than everyone in the room when he begins to testify about what he has experienced and felt in his homeland.
When his voice soars– sweeping with perfect pitch through scales and octaves– he's in complete harmony with what he is doing on stage. His movement is second nature, his demeanor, absolutely embracing.
Mahlasela's set seemed to be over almost as soon as he began. I could have sat in my seat for another hour and not noticed the time. After hearing him, the world became much bigger than holiday shopping. Who you are has nothing to do with what you want. It's what you do with what you have that matters.
I'll keep that in mind this holiday.
Vusi Mahlasela

Sorry to sound like a complete noodle, but I downloaded Frozen Synapse for the PS3 a few weeks ago and have been playing the campaign mode - tonight I went to venture forth into the online games but don't seem to be able to either create a match or play a quick match since both options are dimmed in the multiplayer menu.
I have tried connecting to the Playstation network both before and after loading the game (allowing the game to connect me) however neither way allow me to play multiplayer. When I go to the multiplayer screen it shows my matches: 0 and the quick match and create match options are dimmed and i am unable to select them with the controller. I have double checked that i'm signed in to the Playstation Network while in the game. I'm from Australia if that makes any difference - on the ability for the game to connect - not my lack of ability to get it to work
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards
How do I play multiplayer?

Younger Muslim Brotherhood hoping to revive the Egyptian group
With the unprecedented arrests of the top and mid-levels of the Muslim Brotherhood, the secretive organization through which Mohammed Morsi ascended to the presidency before he was ousted this summer, the group's younger members are forming splinter groups that they promise will revive the embattled organization.
With scores of such spinoff groups emerging, it portends Egypt confronting multiple smaller Islamist groups instead of what was once the most powerful organization here. The youths said the new groups would allow them to rebrand the Muslim Brotherhood from its more militant approach.
Many of those forming the new groups were in Rabaa on Aug. 14 as part of a sit-in protesting Morsi's ouster, when at least 634 people – estimates run as high as 1,100 – were killed in clashes with security forces, marking one of the deadliest days in Egypt's history. Many youths had met during the six-week sit-in that led up to the attack and began communicating after the government broke them up. The youths said that salvaging the Islamist message was as much about avenging the deaths of friends as it was about saving Egypt from a return to military dictatorship.
Using social websites such as Facebook, the Brotherhood's younger members are creating groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood without Violence and Youth Against the Coup to galvanize protests and rebrand the group in the face of its arrested leadership.
They said they weren't the Brotherhood that had defined the Morsi presidency. Whereas Morsi was divisive and sought to carry out the group's vision of an Islamic Egypt while working with the military, the youth said they were inclusive and that they rejected working with the armed forces.
Among them is Gihad Khalid, 19, whose husband, an Al Jazeera journalist, was among the thousands rounded up by the security forces.
"The stupidity of the regime is that it doesn't recognize that they are actually serving the Brotherhood, not hurting it," Khalid wrote earlier this week on her Facebook page. Now the youth "will not only lead this period, but they also might correct the mistakes that took place and correct the past."
At their weekly protests Friday, members said they were filling the gap of the missing leadership to organize their demonstrations. They said they wanted to peacefully protest the military-appointed civilian government that was named after Morsi was forced out.
"I am here to oppose the military coup and the return of the deep state. Those are peaceful protests, as you can see. The media want to show that we are coming out in small numbers and that only Brotherhood members are the ones protesting. You can't deny that today's protests are big," Waleed Refaat, 38, a sales manager, said at Friday's protests. "A lot of youth groups have emerged during Rabaa's sit-in and after it was cleared. They communicate through social media."
Since the military ousted Morsi on July 3, Egypt's armed forces have rounded up every top member of the Muslim Brotherhood and hundreds of midlevel leaders in the provinces, dismantling the group's hierarchical structure. It's the biggest shake-up the organization has faced in its 85-year history, as the military and media continually refer to those who side with the Brotherhood as terrorists.
On Tuesday, a military court convicted 11 of the Brotherhood's supporters of wounding seven soldiers with birdshot and throwing gasoline bombs at military buildings Aug. 14 in the city of Suez. It was swift justice for a country in which court cases notoriously lag. Those convicted were among thousands of Brotherhood members and supporters who'd been rounded up since the Aug. 14 breakup of their sit-ins.
Morsi himself, along with 14 mostly Brotherhood leaders, was referred to the criminal court Monday on charges that he'd incited violence during December demonstrations in front of the presidential palace that killed at least 10 protesters.
Throughout its history, the Brotherhood has been wracked by divisions among its often older and more militant members and its younger, more reformist counterparts, often spurred by government crackdowns or efforts to include them in the political process.
During the 1970s, for example, internal divisions were created when then-President Anwar Sadat tried including Brotherhood members in the political process, as some Brotherhood members thought the secular political process was un-Islamic. A decade later under former President Hosni Mubarak, when key members were rounded up, splits emerged within the group between those who wanted to change its mission and those who wanted to stick to the call for creating an Islamist region that adheres to Shariah, or Islamist law.
At times, such splits have led to key members resigning. Some members only became more militant after the government locked them up among other militants. The most notable example was Sayyid Qutb, who went from being a liberal to a key Islamist thinker after serving in prison. After his 1964 release, Qutb wrote a series of books that have been a keystone of Brotherhood thought, calling for a war against the secular state.
In the last two months, after the arrest of Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohammed Badie, 69, the group named Mahmoud Ezzat, 70, a conservative member of the group, as its temporary leader. Ezzat's naming drew ire from some members, who feared the Brotherhood wouldn't evolve enough to win back the support of a public that's sided with the military crackdown.
Because of that, the new youth groups face an uphill battle, both from the public and a government determined to eliminate the Brotherhood. With no leadership skills themselves, it's unclear whether they'll be able to salvage the floundering Brotherhood brand or will simply become the next group of Islamists arrested and charged by the Egyptian military, the group's historical foe.
But there are also quiet signs that despite the public anger at the Brotherhood – largely because of Morsi's ineffectual year as president – the group retains support. As Refaat and Khalid and thousands of others protested Friday throughout the country, residents in apartments could be seen waving at them, apparently too frightened in the current political climate to join them.
McClatchy special correspondent Amina Ismail contributed to this report from Cairo.

Cruel Note Left on Sioux Falls Car Windshield
A local Sioux Falls woman came out of a local Ace Hardware store to find a very cruel message left on the windshield of her car.
According to Danielle Rezac she knows who left the note, but was unable to confront them:
After the picture was posted on Facebook, people were quick to respond and come to Danielle's defense. WARNING: ADULT LANGUAGE
After this bulling Danielle responded with:
To the two guys who put this note on my car Monday night I say...thank you. Because of your incredible act of viciousness and cruelty I finally got the fire lit in my soul to do something about my weight. The universe put me in the path of these two miserable excuses for humans in order to ignite that fire and motivate me. Today is day one of the Sanford Profile plan for me and the journey starts here.
Some very small and insecure people just don't feel themselves at full strength unless they are hurting someone else. God Bless you Danielle.

Miami Port of Call
With one foot already in the Caribbean, Miami is one giant playground of a disembarking port city, complete with stretches of white sand beach only outshined but the coils of hot pink neon lights, making it the crowned 'cruise capital of the world'.
Most associated with Miami is South Beach, both the long stretch of sand and the Art Deco neighbourhood alongside famous for nightlife, restaurants and shopping.
With over four million passengers a year, the Port of Miami is the home of about 24 different cruise ships and ten cruise lines departing to all over the world, particularly the Caribbean. The port is located on Dodge Island and connects to the city centre via a short bridge. New cruise passenger terminal buildings D and E and four older terminals have every conceivable passenger amenity.
The city centre can be walked to over Port Blvd. Bridge, although a fleet of taxis, rental car agencies and shuttle buses are available from the cruise terminals. From inside the city centre an elevated train (Metrorail) and monorail (Metroover) connect to most destinations and a bus service (Metrobus) is extensive if confusing.
The most famous landmark in Miami is South Beach and the surrounding neighbourhood, which is famous for its art deco designs, restaurants and shops. Little Havana, Coral Gables and Coconut Grove are other fun and historic neighbourhoods. The Metrozoo and Seaquarium both offer chances to see rare wildlife, as do Parrot Island and Monkey Jungle, which have a more natural theme. Replanted from its home in Spain, the Monastery of St. Bernard de Clairvaux is the oldest building in the western hemisphere and a popular tourist site. Vizcaya Museum and Gardens is another historic Miami landmark.
Azul - One of the city's best, serving Mediterranean and Asian cuisine downtown

QX3 Time-Lapse Movie Gallery
Aminobenzoic Acid (Anthranilic Acid)
Once thought to be a vitamin, ortho-aminobenzoic acid is more commonly known as anthranilic acid. The cadmium salt has seen limited use in veterinary medicine as an asaricide in swine. When recrystallized from the melt, anthranilic acid will slowly crystallize, forming beautiful dendritic needle-like crystals. The time-lapse movie was made using a modified version of the Intel Play QX3 microscope equipped for polarized light illumination with a full-wave (first order) retardation plate.

The recent birth of 30 genetically modified (GM) babies has sparked an ethical debate over whether fertility experiments help hopeful parents conceive or if scientists are altering humanity.
The existence of the infants was revealed the night of June 29. Fifteen of the babies were created over the past three years in a fertility program run by the Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Science (IRMS) of Saint Barnabas in New Jersey. They are all healthy.
Two of these one-year-old infants have the genes of three parents—two women and one man, reported the Daily Mail. Scientists were tasked with repairing the defected eggs of women undergoing infertility treatment, so they inserted mitochondria from donor eggs into these eggs, in addition to DNA from sperm cells. Their efforts were successful, creating at least two babies with the DNA of three parents. If these GM babies reproduce, this genetic change will be passed on to their offspring. The long-term effects of carrying DNA from three parents is yet to be seen.
Toying with the essential make-up of the human species is shunned by some geneticists, who fear that this technique could lead to the creation of a new race of humans—a designer breed crafted to amplify, pluck or fuse superior characteristics such as beauty, strength or high intelligence.
Professor Jacques Cohen, the IRMS science director who trained the embryology group for 18 years, discovered the method used to create GM children. He is regarded as a highly controversial yet brilliant pioneer in reproductive medicine. Among his most notable accomplishments, he is responsible for making it possible for infertile men to have children of their own by injecting sperm DNA directly into a fertile egg in a petri-dish.
However, many view his research and ambitions—such as his claim that he could clone children—as overstepping the boundaries of nature. "It would be an afternoon's work for one of my students," Cohen said of cloning a child. He has reportedly been approached by "at least three" individuals asking him to clone a child, but he had to deny their requests.
Indian Country Today Media Network wants to know your opinions on genetically altered babies: Is it the beginning of a new and potentially beneficial frontier in reproduction, or could playing Creator backfire?

This week's featured Video Boat Review from the Boats.com team is a premium pontoon boat. Reviewer Jeff Hemmel explains why the Cypress Cay Cayman 250 is much more than just an old-fashioned party barge. Enjoy!
Transcript of the Cypress Cay Cayman 250 Video Boat Review
by Jeff Hemmel
Say goodbye to the days of a pontoon being little more than a slow-moving party barge. With high-horsepower and triple pontoons, boats like the Cypress Cay Cayman 250 are rivaling the latest and greatest V-hulls. Let's take a closer look at this premium pontoon model…
Interview with Jane Schlegel, Cypress Cay
Jane, this Cayman features Cypress Cay's optional T3 performance package. Obviously that adds a third pontoon to the traditional configuration. But I also notice that pontoon is actually dropped slightly lower than the two outer pontoons.
Jane: Good observation. We dropped the center pontoon a full inch below the other two to give it the V-hull shape so it starts to cut through the water. We also added a full aluminum skin underneath the deck and that just helps keep resistance down and again increases your speed. Then to give you that planing effect, we've added lifting strakes to the insides of the tubes, and then on both sides of the center tube. So when the Cayman gets up to speed, it really planes out and cruises nicely.
The ability to head into bigger waters and handle higher horsepower requires some solid construction below. The exterior of this M bracket, which attaches the tube to the cross members, is one solid piece. Cross-member s also alternate between heavier duty C channel at the bow and stern for support, with Z channel through the center to reduce weight. Finally, the deck is attached with carriage bolts, featuring nylon lock nuts.
I was expecting some thrilling performance out of the Cayman, and I wasn't disappointed. With a 225hp Mercury Verado outboard, this boat accelerated strong out of the hole, and reached a top speed of nearly 45 mph. Handling was also quite spirited, with the boat carving aggressively tight turns without blowing out the prop or suffering any lack of stability.
There are a number of items that stand out on the Cayman. The first of which is its size. Though it's listed at 25 feet, there's actually closer to 27 feet of usable space.
• I also like this in-floor ski locker. It's made possible by the depth provided by the center tube, plenty of room for all your water toys, even equipped with a bilge pump.
• There's storage beneath all the seating. They even make use of the space behind the backrests.
Take a look at this automotive-inspired helm. On the front side, a unique storage compartment provides a handy spot for charts or other items, and though it's not insulated, it's got a drain so you can fill it with ice and use it as a cooler.
• And in the back of the boat, below the sunpad, rests a standard pop-up changing room.
• One final touch? Rather than a boxy structure, the Cayman features flowing rail lines far removed from the traditional pontoon boat style.
Now I get paid to critique boats. This one impressed me. I did however find one major flaw. In fourteen feet of seating space, there's only four cupholders up here. What was Cypress Cay thinking? Fortunately however, they provide an option that is a solution: the portable cupholder.
Now obviously, this is not your father's party barge. It provides a lot of the same speed, comfort, handling of a fiberglass V-hull. But yet at the same time, it keeps that company-friendly open layout that every pontoon should have. If that describes what you're looking for, you need to take this boat for a ride. I enjoyed it.

Hartsville, S.C. – Matthew Jarrett (Roswell, GA) gave Coker a 3-2 overtime victory in their final regular season Conference Carolinas match, scoring a golden goal in the 97th minute of overtime play against Barton College on Monday night. Jarrett put home his game winning goal off a rebound from a direct kick by Daniel Shrizad (Orlando, FL) that hit the crossbar and bounced out to Jarrett. The win improves the Cobras to 7-10-2 overall, and 3-6-1 in the conference, while Barton falls to 2-15 overall, and 0-9 in the conference.
The Cobras jumped out to an early two goal lead in the first half behind one-timer goals Don Jackson (Bradenton, FL) with an assist from Jarrett and another one-timer from Russell Hill (Monroe, NC) with an assist from Shrizad. Coker held the 2-0 lead through the first half, until the Bulldogs tacked on two of their own in the second half.
Barton's first goal came off the foot of Kieran McGurk in the 48th minute, as he blasted a shot from nearly 25 yards out over the head of Coker keeper Ryan Lewis (Satellite Beach, FL). Then when it looked as if the Cobras had the win, Fernando Guzman found Chris Tripp with a long cross into the box for a one-timer to tie the match at two.
Then it was Jarrett's overtime heroics that gave Coker the win and puts them in place to advance to the Conference Carolinas playoffs. The Cobras are currently on seventh place in the standings, just one point ahead of Erskine and Mount Olive as they head into the final weekend of conference play.
Barton keeper, Brian Riesenberg had an outstanding night even in the loss, making 14 saves, while Coker's Lewis had four saves in the match.
Coker returns to the field on October 29, as they travel to face non-conference opponent USC-Aiken at 7:00 p.m., while Barton will take on Pfeiffer in their final conference game on October 30 at 7:00 p.m.

XenMobile, based on technology from recent Citrix acquisition Zenprise, is designed to give mobile users in the enterprise a wide range of device and platform options while also enabling IT administrators to efficiently manage the devices according to compliance and policy requirements. The software is a secure architecture that integrates directly with Microsoft Active Directory and other key infrastructures, said Citrix, Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
Users can enroll their personal devices in the XenMobile platform while IT administrators can develop and automatically roll out policies and mobile applications to employees. The XenMobile platform also can blacklist or whitelist apps and wipe out or selectively erase data from lost or stolen devices.
[Related: DaaS Player Desktone Aims At Citrix With New Enterprise Apps ]
"XenMobile has a very granular set of capabilities," said Natalie Lambert, director of product marketing at Citrix. "Whether the device is corporate-owned or employee-owned, there are a number of different policies available."
Along with XenMobile MDM, Citrix introduced the Mobile Solutions Bundle for Enterprise Mobility Management, which includes the XenMobile MDM and CloudGateway. The bundle includes enterprise MDM; secure email, Web browser and data-sharing apps; mobile app containers for all apps created by third parties or the enterprise itself; identity management, single sign-on and scenario-based access control; and a Unified App Store for all mobile, Web-based and SaaS applications.
"The Unified App Store is designed to give users a place to go when they want to add or use apps securely outside the office when they're on the road," Lambert said, adding that the MDM platform will aggregate third-party apps from other stores in addition to custom content.
Citrix said the XenMobile MDM and Mobile Solutions Bundle will be available starting Feb. 25. XenMobile has user- or device-based pricing, while the Mobile Solutions Bundle has user-based pricing only.
Citrix acquired MDM software maker Zenprise in December in an effort to build mobility management into its cloud and virtualization stack. The company said all Zenprise channel partners are being brought into the Citrix partner program and will be able to sell the XenMobile MDM and Mobile Solutions Bundle products, as will existing Citrix partners.

When we talk about Buell motorcycles that fail to see the light of day, people are almost universally referring to the Buell Barracuda, the 1190cc successor to the 1125R series. Dubbed "The Buell We Wouldn't Have to Make Excuses For", the Barracuda lives on in many ways in the EBR 1190RR superbike, which we'll see next year take its street-going form as the EBR 1190RS.
While the limited-production EBR 1190RS certainly is exciting to think about, and the Buellisti are already counting down the days until Erik Buell re-enters the street bike market, what has us chomping at the bit is the fact that in 2009 Spanish design firm Edda Design was commissioned by Buell to revamp the 1125CR street bike; and with the result they came up with, we wouldn't mind seeing life breathed back into that project, just like the Barracuda.
