With so many updates, it's very easy to miss stuff in Photoshop such as this incredibly POWERFUL and USEFUL function for blending layers together, changing composition and compositing.
Auto Blend Layers … do you really know how good it is?
Photoshop Virtual Summit 4 - FREE PASS
Chuffed to bits to be one of the 20 Instructors at the next FREE Photoshop Virtual Summit which runs from 2nd May - 6th May 2022.
The past online events have been a huge success and in so many cases a great distraction and learning experience during the past couple of years because of you know what.
As with the previous summits there’s a line up of 20 Instructors which translates to 40 Photoshop Classes and over 30 hours of content.
Also (like before) there’s a FREE PASS available and an Early Bird Price (until 2nd May) of $99 (£75 approx) for the VIP PASS
I don’t know how Dave and Marlene Cross puts this together but 'hats off’ to them; especially as for the next few weeks I know they’ll be flat out making sure this event runs as smoothly as the previous ones.
I'M ADDICTED!!! 📷 Long Exposures by the Sea (HOW TO) BASIC to BEAUTIFUL 😍
It's incredible how using a long exposure can completely transform the look and feel of a location.
In this video I take you through the Photography showing how a 30 second long exposure can smooth out waves to create a glass like surface, to the retouching in both Lightroom and Photoshop, also showing how to make selections and cuts with one slider.
Enjoy,

💥 THIS will give your pictures DRAMA and IMPACT: Fake Long Exposure Effect in Photoshop
I love how using a long exposure to create much more drama and impact in pictures. But what if we didn't use a long exposure when we took the photograph?
Here's a super easy and effective technique I use to recreate the long exposure look...and it works an absolute treat!
💥 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,

TRY THESE 5 TIPS for BETTER and CLEANER Selections using Photoshop (video)
Selections can be REALLY difficult. Even when using the dedicated Selection Tools in Photoshop we can still see traces of the original background around our cut out. In this video I show 5 of my FAVOURITE TIPS and TECHNIQUES for cleaning selections up and making them look their BEST!
BRILLIANT! LIVE Setting for PERFECT Photographs + INTELLIGENT Presets in Lightroom
The LIVE photo setting in the iPhone / mobile phones is INCREDIBLE!
Long Exposure Photography, being able to choose an exact moment before or after you took a photograph AND then there's Presets in Lightroom. Great advances in technology or cheating?
Whatever you think...it's VERY clever stuff!
💥 DOING THIS will make your PORTRAITS POP and come to life: My 20/10 Technique
So many times I get comments about the portraits I take and how they appear to almost come forward of the screen, and even more so, forward from the paper when printed.
This effect is largely down to a particular technique that I use in Photoshop; a technique that I call 20/10.
In this latest video I show exactly how I use it but also explain the principle behind it and why it works so incredibly well.

TRY THIS if you struggle SELECTING HAIR in Photoshop: Use the CLONE STAMP TOOL instead!
When it comes to using Photoshop, selecting hair is without doubt THE area that people struggles with more than anything else.
Over recent years, Adobe has put an incredible amount of work into Photoshop with updates that make selections quicker and easier however, even Photoshop has its limitations; try selecting dark frizzy hair on a dark or busy background and you’ll know what I mean.
So here’s a technique that has saved me more times than I can remember because sometimes we just have to cheat.

In this latest video I take you behind the scenes from the first day with my new drone; the DJI Air 2S as I dare to fly it out over the Atlantic Ocean in Cornwall to capture a photograph that simply would not be possible without it…
