I really know nothing about photo shop. I have a lot to learn about what I can do with it.
Oh, and there was a polarizer on my lens. And you know, it is circular, but I have a hard time discerning any difference in its effect when I spin it.
I'm still a novice with photography. I have a lot to learn, lol. |
The way I check to see if I have the optimal rotation of my CPL is using the digital display and watching the meter info. If you have auto-meter (a +/- scale to see if it's over/under exposed) or set to Aperture or Shutter priority, you will see the number change as you rotate it. As the exposure time decreases or aperture number increases, it will tell you the setting is blocking more light (intended effect). Rotate until you've found the darkest shot you can take.
A good suggestion for beginning with photoshop is the Adobe Classroom in a Book series. It has step-by-step lessons for all of the features in photoshop.
