If you’ve ever uploaded one of your pictures onto social media, in particular Facebook, then it’s highly likely you’ll have experienced that crushing feeling when you see how they look. The compression that Facebook applies seems to batter images to the point that they look, well, awful.
However, here’s the settings you can apply in Photoshop that will fix it…
With your image / picture open in Photoshop go to Image > Image Size
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…
Now this information is on the official show website however it can be quite easy to miss, so I thought I’d share it here as clear as day so that you don‘t come unstuck and you’re turned away and unable to enter.
Here’s a screen grab from the show website for the attention of attendees, be they exhibitors and / or visitors…
This was going to be perfect for the look and feel I was after, ‘Freedom and the Open Road’ which seemed highly appropriate after the last 18 months or so that we’ve all been living with the pandemic.
I couldn’t have wished for a better location and with it being so close (just a 10 minute drive from Ian’s studio). So, once an exact spot had been decided on, and the position of the sun checked using the PhotoPills App to see where it would be , we were all set for 11am the following morning.
Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever been involved in an event that has had so much positive feedback and reaction as the previous Photoshop FREE Virtual Summit, so I’m genuinely over the moon to be a part of the next one coming in October of this year.

I’ve recently updated my Developing your Style PDF where I go through what I truly believe is the way to develop your own unique and recognisable style.
As photographers, or indeed any form of art, I think it’s fair to say that we all want to have a style that is uniquely us, rather than a body of work that looks no different to the next person; but how?
I hadn’t actually intended to post this here on my website, but having shared the story on social media, and seeing the responses from people (some that were hilarious) I just had to add it here too for anyone that didn’t see the original on the likes of Facebook and Instagram.
Some of the comments posted on social media, I’ll add to the bottom.
Right, here goes…
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
Conditions were absolutely perfect for some long exposure photography, and wow, what a stunning location!
We arrived around 5pm with the high tide expected at 5.20pm, and had to wait maybe an hour or so before some of the hidden rock formations became visible. This gave us plenty of time to set up kit and think about where we would position ourselves; this being made a lot easier from Doug having been there before.
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.
