👁👁 EYES: BRIGHTEN , ADD CATCH LIGHTS + MAKE THEM POP: One Technique that does it ALL!

I love how we can use techniques in Photoshop to do more than one thing.

❓WHO is Glyn Dewis and WHAT is this CHANNEL❓

At the beginning of the year, one of my priorities and things I wanted to spend more time on developing was my YouTube Channel, and over the past (almost) 6 months I've thoroughly enjoyed it.

I'm having so much fun putting videos together the way that is 'me' and each week learning and trying something new to add to the production value.

One thing that's been missing though is a Trailer; something that in 60 seconds or less tells folks that haven't subscribed, the WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHY, WHEN and HOW of me and what the Channel is all about, but yesterday I put some time aside and did it…

Hope you like it 😉

💥 DOING THIS will REDUCE NOISE in your pictures: CLEVER feature in Photoshop 👊

This is such a great technique in for reducing / removing noise in your photographs using Photoshop, no matter what camera you took with them.

No Filters. No Plug Ins. No Magic Settings. Just a great use of technology already in Photoshop...you just need to know where to find it!

Enjoy,
Glyn

The technique takes knowing your camera and at what ISO noise would appear but. It can be used on scenes and also people (not moving). Great for Astro reducing noise in the skies that high ISO would introduce.

Some folks have said why not just use a low ISO and drag the shutter? Fair comment for 'some' situations but when photographing a person you obviously wouldn't want to do that; best to take the required shots in burst / continuous which could be done in less than a second in most cameras these days as opposed to using a low ISO and getting the subject to stand like a mannequin for a prolonged period of time.

Also great for those times when a tripod can't be used in a Church for example. You could handhold a burst of photographs at high ISO then use this technique to reduce / remove the noise.

So much you can do with this technique that I'll be do in some videos in the coming weeks 👍

The NEW Apple Mac Studio M1 MAX - Noisy?

If you’ve seen my recent posts on social media, you’ll likely be aware that my beloved iMac died unexpectedly.

All was fine until I unplugged it all and took it with me to Witney in Oxfordshire to use during a presentation evening (had to take the iMac because my current MacBook Pro will no longer run the latest version of Photoshop, Premiere Pro CC etc...)

Anyway, all was well before I unplugged it, but then when I turned it back on in Witney, it was a no-go! Somehow, somewhere along the line something had gone wrong. The processor was running at over 1000% but no fans kicking in.

Anyway, long story short I took it to Apple and a Genius ran a through tests which resulted in the words Catastrophic Failure.

So, I ended up leaving with a brand new Apple Mac Studio M1 MAX, hence this video…

🏰 I TRANSFORMED my friend into a DISNEY Character using Photoshop

Updates in Photoshop are making tricky / lengthy edits quicker!

Here's how I transformed my friend into Carl from Disney's UP Movie in just a few minutes using a combination of Neural Filters, Liquify and Masking.

In the description part of the video no Youtube, I’ve included a link so that you can download the file and follow along 👍

💥 POWERFUL Blending and Compositing function in Photoshop that you MIGHT have missed! 😲

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?

🎤 VERY IMPRESSED! The (less than) £100 RØDE VideoMic GO II sounds AMAZING 👏

In this video I go through a Practical 'Hands On' with the new RØDE VideoMic GO II Microphone that costs less than £100 BUT produces audio quality to match much more expensive microphones on the market AND it can be used on other devices.

In a world where day to day living is getting more and more expensive this microphone is definitely something to consider.

*NOTE: RØDE did send me the VideoMic Go II but have not paid me to create, or influenced this video. Opinions in this video are entirely my own 👍
