The best way to learn is by experimenting and playing, and that's very much the spirit of this one. I show how a simple Curves adjustment and a little bit of masking can be used to match skin tone between two different people, which is my favourite way of doing it in Photoshop. Along the way I also have some fun with the same tools, giving an instant six pack.
This is a practical hands-on with the RØDE VideoMic GO II, a microphone that costs less than £100 but produces audio quality to match much more expensive microphones, and it can be used on other devices too. With day to day living getting more and more expensive, it's definitely one to consider. RØDE did send me the VideoMic GO II, but they haven't paid me to create this video or influenced it in any way, and the opinions are entirely my own.
I often get comments about how my portraits seem to come forward of the screen, and even more so forward of the paper when they're printed. That effect is largely down to a particular technique I use in Photoshop, one that I call 20/10. This video shows exactly how I use it, and it also explains the principle behind it and why it works so well, so you understand what's happening rather than just following the steps.
