πŸ‘ This BLUR FILTER looks FANTASTIC on PORTRAITS !!!

The Depth Blur Filter in Photoshop works great on landscape pictures BUT trying using it on a Portrait and WOW!

Totally brings it to life and gives the feel of the portrait coming forward of the screen / print! I've been experimenting with this lately and am loving the results! In this video I show you my 3 Step Process...

GOODBYE PHOTOSHOP? This HIDDEN BUTTON in Lightroom CHANGES EVERYTHING!

The new Masking Section added into Lightroom was a BIG DEAL! But...did you know there's a Hidden Button that makes it EVEN BETTER by giving way more control? In this video I show ow we can use this hidden function to realistically add drama to skies, add Special Effects, light a Macro Shot AND add Highlights to a Portrait!

πŸ’₯ NEW FEATURE in Photoshop: REMOVING OBJECTS just got EASIER!!!

Removing Objects using Content Aware Fill in Photoshop just got BETTER with this NEW FEATURE where we can now use content from a 2nd image AND use an image that has a completely different composition!

In this video I show how this new feature is making challenging selections and cloning a thing of the past and can save a load of time!

βœ… My FAVOURITE technique for MATCHING SKIN TONE using Photoshop

The BEST way to learn is by experimenting and playing, so in this video I show how we can use a simple Curves Adjustment technique and a little bit of Masking to Match Skin Tone between two different people and have fun giving an Instant 6 Pack! πŸ˜ƒ

πŸ’‘ This is how I ADD a BACKGROUND LIGHT or SPOTLIGHT into my pictures using PHOTOSHOP

So today (after having had a Direct Message and request come through Instagram) I have recorded and uploaded a new video showing how to add a Backlight / Spotlight into your pictures; a great technique if...

a) You didn't have the space to use other light during the photo shoot
b) You had a light but didn't use...and now wish you had
c) You didn't have another light at the time

In this technique I make use of a (very) quick selection and a Levels Adjustment Layer​, and the result is VERY effective.

Hope you like it,
