| عشر نصائح للتخلص من حب الشباب...!! Posted: 28 Aug 2013 08:10 AM PDT يجب اتباع هذه النصائح للتخلص من حب الشباب:  1-لا تحاولي عصر الحبوب او تقشيرها , فقوة الضغط عليها تزيد من من شدة العدوى ,وزيادة الاحمرار,والانتفاخ واحتمال ضهور الندب دائما .
2-نضفي وجهك برفق 3 مرات يوميا ,بمنظف خال من الصابون ,وعند التجفيف استعملي منشفة ناعمة ولا يستعملها احد دونك .
3-اكثري من تناول الفاكهة والخضار والاطعمة التي تحتوي على الفيتامينات ,لان السبب قد يكون في نقص فيتامين ما في جسمك .
4-لا تتناولي الاطعمة التي تحتوي على زيوت وبهارات او تتناولي الشوكولا والمشروبات الغازية, الصودا والبزورات بشكل مفرط يوميا بل خففي من تناولها .
5-لا تستعملي الماكياج او الكريمات التي تحتوي على زيوت او دهون وخاصة كريم الاساس فيجب ان يكون طبي لان البشرة تقوم بامتصاص هذه المساحيق الى الداخل ,وقومي بازالة الماكياج قبل النوم .
6-نامي على وسادة اكياسها (بيوتها) من قطن لان القطن يمتاز بخاصية الامتصاص , وقومي بغسلها بصورة متكررة.
7-اغسلي شعرك بانتظام واحرصي على غسله يوميا اذا كان دهنيا ,وارفعي شعرك قبل النوم عن وجهك .
8-خذي قسطا وافيا من النوم يوميا ,فالنوم غير الكافي يتسسبب باجهاد الجسم ,مما يجعل السيطرة على حب الشباب صعبا ,لذا نامي على الاقل 7الى 8 ساعات يوميا .
9-اذا كانت تستعملين الاقنعة (المسك) في المنزل ,فتجنبي استعمال المواد التي تحتوي على دهنيات او نشويات او تلك التي تنقيلينها من زميلاتك مثل مجون الاسنان مثلا فذااك سيؤثر سلبا, بل استعملي الاقنعة المصنوعة من الخضراوات كالبقدونس ,النعناع ,الخبيزة او المصنوعة من عصير الفواكه كالليمون والجزر.
.
10- تجنبي التوتر والقلق خاصة في هذه الفترة ,واشغلي نفسك في نشاطات متنوعة واياكي الانعزال في المنزل لان ذلك سيؤثر عليكي نفسيا وبالتالي فمشكلتك ستزداد ,وتذكري دائما ان معظم الشباب والصبايا في عمرك يعانون من هذه المشكلة .

Now using curves (CTRL/CMD + M), change the contrast like shown below.
After that, make another curves with layer mask layer to give more depth to the ocean as the next image shows.
Step 3
For the water surface, you will cut with the path tool (P) the image water #1. After finishing the path press CTRL/CMD + enter to transform the path in selection and CTRL/CMD + F6 to make the selection softer using a feather around 0.5 or more.

To make it appear that there is water on the ship you will make a copy of the sea, right click on the sea`s folder and select Duplicate Layer with the selected folder duplicated press CTRL/CMD + E to merge in one layer, after that change the opacity of this layer to 75% and Create a mask like the image below to make depth and then with ALT pressed click between the layers to bind the ocean layer to the ship layer.
To make light and shadow of the shipwreck, you will use curve adjustments. Create a new curves layer and position between the ship and sea layers like the nest image.
For the light Create a new curves layer on top of the other layers.
For the mast out of the water, duplicate the layers of the ship and light then mask like below.
For the final touch on the ship, open the flag image and cut the red one. Then follow the next adjustments layers:

The Ultimate Beginner's Introduction to Exposure
In this tutorial, we'll be walking through the concept of exposure, right from the beginning.

Perfect Exposure Every Time: A Guide to Metering in the Viewfinder
You'd be surprised how much information is available through your camera's viewfinder. In this tutorial, we're looking again at one of the most important elements of Photography – exposure – and how you can expose a perfect photo using just the information shown in your camera viewfinder!
The Answer to All Your Problems: Masking
In this tutorial, we will explain how to save selections as layer masks and refine them using the brush tool.
High Key? Low Key? An Introduction to Lighting Ratios
Getting to grips with artificial lighting seems to be quite the headache for many photographers. What I found aided more rapid improvement was gaining a better understanding of lighting positions and ratios. In this article, I'm going to be addressing the latter (though it does involve a little of the former, as they can interact). I'm going to start from scratch, looking first at what key and fill lights are, then I'll move on to how they relate to each other and why it makes a difference as to where they're positioned. Then we'll see how these concepts apply to the ideas of "high key" and "low key" lighting, as well as adding other lights into the mix.
Rules for Perfect Lighting: Understanding The Inverse-Square Law
In technical terms, an inverse-square law is defined as "any physical law stating that some physical quantity or strength is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source of that physical quantity." With a definition like that, you're probably wondering what on earth this could possibly have to do with Photography (and no one could blame you). Inverse-square laws apply to many, many things in the world. In this tutorial, however, we're only going to be looking at one of them: light.

Whatever the case is, you can produce a wide variety of lighting scenarios using a single flash. Here, you will find 10 clearly explained examples in this tutorial that you can apply to your own situations.
10 Things You Didn't Know About Photoshop Layers
You might be surprised what you don't know about Photoshop's Layers Panel. In this tutorial, we will share 10 incredibly useful layer editing and management techniques that most Photoshop users probably aren't aware of. These tips cover several features including Fill Opacity, Multi-level Masking and Smart Objects, Adjustment Layers, Keyboard Shortcuts, Advanced Blending options, Layers panel options, and so much more.
Mastering Exposure and Flash Compensation
No matter how far the technology in our cameras advances, nothing can replace the judgment of the human eye. What do you do when the camera doesn't see the scene the same way you do? In this tutorial, we're going to learn about tweaking your images with exposure and flash compensation. How does a camera know what settings to use for a photo? Even when you're in manual mode, the "bar" in the viewfinder of your SLR is going to show you how it feels about your settings in relation to the amount of light it perceives is in the frame.
How, When, and Why to Use a Polarizing Filter
Polarization filters are specially adapted glass that, when turned at an angle to a light source, will reduce glare from reflected surfaces. The most popular type of polarizing filter is circular to fit easily on the end of almost any lens, containing a free spinning element for quick adjustment. In this article we'll take a look at how a polarizing filter can improve a number of photographic scenes, along with a few unexpected results it can have. While these filters will darken images by about one stop, the effect rendered in ideal conditions is dramatic. Costing anywhere from $30 to $200 the filters are more effective at producing sharp contrast between clouds and sky, or removing reflection from water and glass, than the time spent in post-production software.

In this tutorial, we will explain everything you need to know about the Info Panel including how to manually color correct photos with the Color Sampler tool, how to change the increments of the rulers, how to check color values before and after applying adjustments, and so much more.

The Super Beginner's Guide to Apple's Aperture
When it comes to editing photographs in OS X, I'm sure you'll agree with me in saying that Mac users are quite spoiled for choice. Not only do we have iPhoto, an excellent (and completely free) photo editor, but there's also the Adobe Suite offering Lightroom and Photoshop. In this tutorial, we're going to be focusing on Aperture, Apple's own photo editor designed for the more professional user. Or is it? Yes, it's priced towards the professional end of the market.
