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,

Last week I spent a few days working on a Secret Project creating a short film for The Veterans Charity which involved filming content in a couple of locations, audio recording, directing and editing.
This project was so secret that not even the CEO or Trustees of The Veterans Charity were aware it was being created ... until today!
This morning they watched it. It was an emotional morning. The film is RAW! It's hard hitting, it's emotional, but most importantly it's REAL! The film is called: A Veteran's Story
So a couple of days ago whilst grabbing some BTS (Behind the Scenes) footage from a photo shoot, my brand new GoPro Hero 10 picked a fight with tarmac...and LOST!
I’ll take full blame for the damage though; that was down to the suction cup mounted on the bonnet of my car failing at just under 30mph.
However, annoying as it is that the GoPro is broken at just 2 weeks old, I had been feeling that it wasn’t really as good as the hype would have you believe.
So, here's a video I put together showing how it actually ended up broken PLUS an explanation of why I was becoming less impressed with it…
Incredible! There’s no other word for it!
Check out this short video from Adobe where they reveal what they’ve been working on in Lightroom, and that will be available to us all next month.
Oh and this is going to be made available in Lightroom across the board, so Lightroom Classic, Lightroom in the Cloud, Lightroom Mobile AND Adobe Camera RAW
Masking and isolating areas of an image like this really is the time to say … Game Changer.
Here too is a blog post by the Adobe Camera RAW Team with even more information…
Exciting times ahead and of course I’ll be recording some new videos going through the updates in ‘real world’

I think it’s pretty obvious that when it comes to getting your message out, telling the world about a new product or service, or just passing on thoughts, tips, advice and opinion, then video is where it’s at these days.
Video is engaging, it’s to the point (most of the time) and it’’s convenient, meaning we can consume it sat at home on our computers, watching it on Smart TVs, tablet devices and mobiles phones.
However, that said, I remember a good while back someone saying to me…

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
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
Having finally released my new, Photoshop Lighting Effects Course on Sunday (15th) it’s been such a buzz seeing all the positive feedback coming in from people that have purchased and enrolled in it…
