The Best PHOTO-MANIPULATION BY MICHAEL OSWALD

AMAZING PHOTO-MANIPULATION BY MICHAEL OSWALD

Photoshop is probably the greatest software for photo editing. There are many talented digital artists that make the most out of it. And Michael Oswald is one of them. If you haven’t heard of the name yet, he’s an award-winning Photoshop genius from California, USA, who creates amazing artworks from real photographs by using Photoshop.

His works are not only inspiring, but they also make you think of limitless possibilities that Photoshop provides. Mostly, he uses common Photoshop tools for work and says “he doesn’t see the need to upgrade [to the latest version]“, which is quite important for those who rush for the latest PS release – in right hands, basic tools can make the magic.

Also, he is a PC user and prefers working with a mouse – “My style is more technical than strict digital painting so there is more of a need for clicking around than making brush strokes. I like to use a tablet for hair and some effects”, says Michael.

Here’s his working desktop (as of 2009):
