The ONE Slider You Need for PERFECT Colour & Contrast in LIGHTROOM

Contrast adjustments have a habit of changing the colours in your photos too, and this video looks at how to balance colour and contrast in Lightroom without that happening. I touch on the luminosity blend mode and desaturating before getting to the Refine Saturation slider, which is a very useful way to adjust the tonal values of an image while keeping colour integrity. It might be something new to you or something you'd forgotten about, but it's a great way to keep colours vibrant and natural while you work on contrast.

COMPLETE Retouching Workflow in LIGHTROOM on an iPad

This video is a complete retouching workflow for a seascape photograph, done from start to finish using only Lightroom on the iPad. I go through the edit step by step, from the raw file to the finished picture, so you can see how far you can take an image without ever leaving the tablet. If you've been wondering whether the iPad can handle a full edit on its own, this shows exactly what that looks like in practice.

Selections in Photoshop are getting quicker and easier, and in this video I look at what was in the Photoshop Beta at the time. Not only is there Select People, but there are also attributes you can choose from, including items such as upper clothing, lower clothing and accessories. It means you can pick out a specific part of a person with very little effort, rather than building the selection by hand.

The BEST way to LEARN PHOTOSHOP 💥 Combining Tools, Techniques and Fun

For me, the best way to learn Photoshop is by combining multiple tools and techniques to see how they work together and complement each other. In this video you can follow along as I take an out-of-camera photograph of a supercar and turn it into something completely different. It's less about any one tool and more about how they build on each other, and having some fun along the way.

IMAGINATION and CREATIVITY making the IMPOSSIBLE ... POSSIBLE with PHOTOSHOP | Uli Staiger

This is the recording of a live broadcast where I chat with photographer and digital artist Uli Staiger and go behind the scenes of his work. Uli creates digital masterpieces that defy reality, and we talk about the what, the how and the why that goes into making them, from the imagination and creativity behind each idea to the Photoshop work that makes the impossible possible.
