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...
I'm genuinely thrilled to announce that Iβll be teaching at the Lightroom Virtual Summit 2022, on October 3rd thru 7th, 2022, and that registration is open so you can grab a FREE PASS now β¦
October 3 - 7, 2022
15 expert instructors teaching 45 classes - over 33 hours of content! β¦ and you can watch it for free!
After the success of the first Lightroom Summit, Iβm genuinely over the moon to be teaching alongside a great line-up of instructors: Anthony Morganti, Ben Willmore, Chris Orwig, Colin Smith, Daniel Gregory, Jared Platt, JesΓΊs Ramirez, Kristina Sherk, Lisa Carney, Matt Kloskowski, Nicole Young, Rob Sylvan, Sean McCormack, and Tim Grey.

If the first Lightroom Summit is anything to go by, this is going to be an amazing week!
Hope to see you there β¦ virtually of course π
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!
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! π
Even if you do everything right when printing your own photographs, it might not be your fault they still don't look good ... it could be that you're a Mac user and you're using Apple AirPrint to connect wirelessly to your printer.
Why is this important?
In this video I show why AirPrint is definitely a No-GO and a USB connection is BEST!
With all the recent updates to Lightroom including Presets and Masking, we're able to edit our images FASTER and EASIER than ever before!
In this video I quickly go through the editing / retouching steps from a recent landscape / seascape photo shoot using my drone from capture, blending, changing perspective, colour grading and printingβ¦
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 Layerβ, and the result is VERY effective.
Hope you like it,
Glyn
I LOVE printingβ¦but it wasnβt always the case.
I wasted a lot of time and money in the past because when I thought my monitor / display was calibrated correctlyβ¦it wasnβt!
So, in this video I show you the settings that DO WORK so you get the best from your display AND the best possible results when printing!
Iβll be using a BenQ Display, BenQ Software and an X-Rite i1 Display Pro Plus BUT all the settings I go through translate perfectly to other monitors, software and devices!
You can check out all this kit over on my GEAR PAGE
Oh and if you look in the description part of the video on YouTube, Iβve also added in Chapter Markers so if you want to, you can jump to a particular part in the video.
Enjoy!

It's not often I find myself wishing my camera could do something that it currently can't , but FOCUS SHIFT in Sony is definitely HIGH on my WISH LIST!
In this video I explain all about Focus Stacking, why it would be so good to have Nikon Focus Shift in my Sony Camera AND how to stack and blend images together in Photoshop to end up with a tack sharp image!
I love how we can use techniques in Photoshop to do more than one thing. In this video I show how a GREAT technique that I call the Never Ending Lighting Rig for adding in more lights to your picture can also be used to enhance eyes in portraits by brightening them, adding in fake catch lights and making them POP!
