💥 DOING THIS will REDUCE NOISE in your pictures: CLEVER feature in Photoshop 👊

This is such a great technique in for reducing / removing noise in your photographs using Photoshop, no matter what camera you took with them.

No Filters. No Plug Ins. No Magic Settings. Just a great use of technology already in Photoshop...you just need to know where to find it!

Enjoy,

The technique takes knowing your camera and at what ISO noise would appear but. It can be used on scenes and also people (not moving). Great for Astro reducing noise in the skies that high ISO would introduce.

Some folks have said why not just use a low ISO and drag the shutter? Fair comment for 'some' situations but when photographing a person you obviously wouldn't want to do that; best to take the required shots in burst / continuous which could be done in less than a second in most cameras these days as opposed to using a low ISO and getting the subject to stand like a mannequin for a prolonged period of time.

Also great for those times when a tripod can't be used in a Church for example. You could handhold a burst of photographs at high ISO then use this technique to reduce / remove the noise.

So much you can do with this technique that I'll be do in some videos in the coming weeks 👍

I DID IT 🌳 I used my DRONE to photograph this INCREDIBLE Lone Tree (Settings + Editing)

Using a Drone for Photography is FANTASTIC! So many new and unique compositions!

In this video I finally photograph an incredible tree that would have been impossible to do on foot BUT thanks to my Drone it became possible! I go through the Drone Camera settings and then dive into Lightroom to create a HDR and finally into Photoshop and jump in and out of Topaz Studio 2 to create a painterly effect.

Hope you enjoy it

💥 DO THIS in Lightroom to make your PORTRAITS POP and come to life

Ever since I shared a video showing my 20/10 technique in Photoshop for making Portraits POP, I’ve received a constant flow of questions asking if there was a way to get the same result just using Photoshop.

Well … I had a play and this is what I came up with, and to be honest … I think I prefer it now :)

During the intro I also explain about those 4 layers you will have seen in the original video as I’ve had quite a few questions about them asking if they’re part of the technique

Hope you like it,
