My NEW Frequency Separation Action (How to Use)

A while back now I did a LIVE Stream on my YouTube Channel showing how to use the incredible Frequency Separation Technique; without doubt the most useful technique to learn and use in Photoshop.

Following the LIVE Stream I then created an Action to help automate the process and made this available for free as a download to folks who joined my email community / newsletter.

However, if I’m honest, the Action was a little bit clunky in that it worked great when there was a layer in Photoshop called Background OR named a certain way. My Bad!

So, I’ve fixed it, and

Selections and Masking in Lightroom Mobile

, ,

Since Adobe Max a couple of weeks ago, the internet has literally been on fire with videos about the major update to Lightroom and Camera Raw with regards to selections and masking; never has there been a more appropriate time to use the phrase “Game Changer”.

But, am I the only person that didn’t realise until now that those exact same updates had been added into the Lightroom Mobile App which in itself is incredible, but even more so when you realise that the selections and masks sync with your desktop and web versions of Lightroom. Incredible!

Here’s a video I put together explaining exactly what I mean…

Fixing Wide Angle Lens Distortion with Photoshop

, ,

Using a Wide Angle lens (like I did when photographing Brentor Church) can cause distortion in the outer areas (top, bottom and sides) of your images.

Now this is good to keep in some areas of our images such as in the foreground to emphasise that area HOWEVER there may be some areas we don't want it.

So, here's how to quickly Quickly Fix Wide Angle Lens Distortion using PhotoshopPhotoshop PLUS why I didn't do it in Lightroom or Camera RAW.

Enjoy,

How to quickly create Autumn using Photoshop

I guess we have to accept now (certainly here in the UK) that the summer months are well and truly gone, but without feeling too down in the dumps, there’s the magic of Autumn to look forward to bringing with it a change in the trees to beautiful burnt oranges, yellows and reds.

In the mean time though, if you’re feeling a little impatient, here’s a REALLY quick technique in Photoshop for creating an Autumn scene plus adding in a dreamy glow…

The BEST Image Settings for Facebook

The BEST Image Settings for Facebook

If you’ve ever uploaded one of your pictures onto social media, in particular Facebook, then it’s highly likely you’ll have experienced that crushing feeling when you see how they look. The compression that Facebook applies seems to batter images to the point that they look, well, awful.

However, here’s the settings you can apply in Photoshop that will fix it…

Missing Shapes Fix in Photoshop 2021

In my new course, Photoshop Lighting Effects, for one of the techniques I show how to recreate the look of neon lighting.

In addition to text I also use a lightbulb shape, however I have had a couple of messages from people saying they can’t find it. So, rather than share the answer to one person, I thought I’d record a video and share it here so that anyone and everyone can

Subtitles / Captions: Why did I not think of this?

Why did I not think of this?

Had a message from someone that had enrolled in my New Photoshop Lighting Effects Course saying that they were Hard of Hearing and asking if there were subtitles / captions they could turn on to help them.

There weren't. I'd completely missed doing that, BUT I'm glad to say I’ve now added them in.

Paid and sent all the video content to Rev who have manually transcribed each one and
