Help with photographing and edditing the pictures of knives please

[manxnorton]

Hi all,
I am having difficulty with my editing of my photos with loss of my memory and learning difficulty due to illness.
Sorry if this thread is in the wrong place.
I'm trying to get my pictures like this one (multicity and masking etc.)

I have Adobe Lightroom and photoshop CS5 , but now have re-learn everything.
sorry it a bit frustrating but ill get there.
Please I didn't forgot to make a knife or ill be annoyed
how can I get single image shrunk to fit the overall picture....and do the multicity program?
As I said I know what I want say but I get confused, so sorry.
any help will appreciated, after 3 days solid I'm nearly going insane
surely in this pic the knife was moved everytime and took the picture them used masking? must be easier way?

anyway, I thank you for any help even just take fun out of me...and brighten up the thread..

I'm not sure anyone can explain proper lighting or Photoshop in a thread.

If I were you I'd go to lynda.com and take some classes there are codes out there that'll give you free month after that it's not expensive.

Lynda.com is a great site. You may also find tutorials on YouTube.

There is an Image editing tutorial in The Gallery

http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/forumdisplay.php/734-The-Gallery

That is the forum where people place their pictures, it MAY also be the forum where people discuss how to take pictures.

If only the right lighting adjustments are made, I think lightroom premium latest version is the best option, but if you want to do in-depth creative editing then perhaps take a Photoshop training course.

Not sure if this is helpful, but I have a super simple and quick setup. I usually just use my iPhone or iPad camera, edit with the Snapseed app from the App Store, then use Imgur to upload the photos.

If you use Imgur though, make sure the photos are marked “Hidden.” The photos will still be visible if you share the link here on BF. “Hidden” just makes sure that the non-knife people on Imgur don’t burst a testicle freaking out over your super dangerous sharp pointy thing.
