Pho٠to٠shop - noun or verb?
Today Photoshop has become more than just a term to describe a program for editing photos. It has become a term for describing whether or not a photo has been manipulated to change the appearance from its original state. People frequently use the term "Photoshopped" in this way.


My name is Rob Resnick. I currently work as a Photoshop Artist at Image Studios, a commercial photography studio in Appleton, Wisconsin. In my spare time I enjoy photography, art and the outdoors. My job as a Photoshop artist has given me a new perspective in regards to images that we see nowadays. The line between reality and manipulation is getting harder to determine just by viewing a photo. I have created this blog in attempts to illustrate what can be accomplished with the use of Photoshop.

Change of Moods

Not quite feeling it? Try changing the mood. We decided to do just that to this image. By swapping out the background with a night scene, and changing the overall tint to the image, we were able to create a totally different mood. Try this sometime and you may be surprised to see the change from ordinary to extraordinary.

Hot Dog!

Some images are just plain fun and quirky. This image was a result of examining the possibilities. It started with the original factory image which made me wonder, what could I do with it that would be outside of the box, or outside of the bun in this case. We had just done a shoot in our studio that included hotdogs. The light went on. Hotdogs!, wouldn't it be awesome if he was assembling hotdogs. Thus the image below was created. 
Sometimes it's just plain old fun to suspend reality and create something just 
"a little out of the bun".
