Internal lighting or any form of artificial lighting can be distracting in our images. In this video we look at creating a brush that will allow us to change the distraction of the lighting into an effect
Back to basics with image composition.We see how we can create and save a composition grid that allows us to check the rule of thirds. This will help us improve the composition of key focal points in our images.
In this video we look at how we can add a logo or copyright to your images before posting them to a web site or emailing them to a client. It's a great way to protect your images and giving it a professional look.
In this video we look at how we can create a border that can saved as a template. Images can quickly and easily changed using Smart Objects and the border can be adjusted for different image sizes.
In this video we see how using the liquify tool we can enhance the eyes and smile. We then apply a soft focus effect and darken the edges with a vignette
Adding text to an image and placing it inside the shape tool which can be used to form a border. We also look at how text can be placed on a path as well as inside the frame.
Starting with our working PSD file we first look at duplicating the image before any resizing for print or web use. We then look at how we can apply selective sharpen to the areas of the image we want to make stand out. This works on a range of images, from Portraits and Landscape to still life.
Sometimes background colour's can distract from the main subject. Using Adjustment layers we look at how we can improve the look and colour's in our images
Taken in very harsh lighting conditions we first look at selectively sharpening the image before using a non destructive way of dodging and burning. This will allow us to bring out the detail from shadows areas and darken down highlights and keeping the whole process fully adjustable. To visit Steve Jones web site click HERE
Using Smart Filters we look at how we can use the Shadow/Highlight command - this can be fully adjustable, even after saving. We also look at using Adjustment Layers to darken down areas of the image. Image by Joe Doyle click HERE to visit Joe's site
In this video we take a look at downloading new backgrounds from Photodex and how they can be used as part of our slide shows. We look at how the backgrounds can be set of the full length of the show or added as a background image for just a few slides. This is for both ProShow Gold and Producer
Using Layers Styles we explore how it can be used to create a ND effect filter that can not only be used to darken skies but brighten foreground areas. We also see how it can be used to create a vignette style lighting effect.
Use the Lens Blur filter to focus our attention on the main subject. We also look at sharpening and boosting the colour's, applying a vignette and border to complete the image.
Here we look at different ways of adding vignettes to our images and working with Layer Comps. This will allow us to compare the different methods and produce copies of each stage.
In this tutorial we explore how we can quickly convert Raw files to Jpg's without going though Camera Raw, using Bridge and Image Processor in Photoshop CS3.
In this video we revisit the the copyright brush and see just how easy it is to add a copyright symbol or even a signature to your images. We then take it a stage further saving as a tool preset making it even quicker to access and use.
