Incredible NEW Generative Fill Artificial Intelligence technology in Photoshop totally changes editing for the BETTER both Practically and Creatively…
Really proud to be a Guest over on Scott Kelby’s Photoshop Insider website today ( LINK )
I followed Scott’s blog when I first started out and still do to this day. Back in the day Scott used to run a ‘Motivational’ post every Tuesday and I’ll never forget the morning I started reading as usual and saw that his Tueday post was about me.
We’d not met and become friends at that point but Scott was telling his readers about my work and recommeding they go check it out. That meant a lot!
So much has happened since then and a big motivator of that was and is the support Scott has shown me over the years, so to be back on his blog today is something special for me … it’s kind of where it all started.
Thanks Scott and thanks to Brad Moore for reaching out.
Well quite simply in this video I show WHY and HOW I DO use it in conjunction with Lightroom Classic but for one VERY specific reason …
Yesterday, Friday 12th May 2023 was our 24th Wedding Anniversary!
Thank you so much for all the messages on social media … we read every single one.
The day couldn’t have been better …
After a few days of rain we woke to bright sunshine! Fabulous and relaxing breakfast at River Cottage HQ , relaxing on the beach down at West Bay and then Lyme followed by a simply perfect evening at the The Barrington Boar.
From the welcome as we arrived, the service, the special and unexpected touch of wishing us Happy Anniversary, and the food (oh my god the food!) … it couldn’t have been better.
A wonderful day celebrating 24 years of marriage and now more excited than ever for next year; the planning of which has already started as we’ll be returning to spend a few days away at somewhere VERY special to us both.
Of all I have done and do, this is makes me proudest of all!
So excited to be part of this and to be presentng 2 sessions over the 2 days …
Day 1: Lightroom Classi, CC and Mobile: The Ultimate Partnership
Day 2: Crush your Creative Block with Presets and Profiles

My GO-TO screen calibration settings for PERFECT PRINTS!
I always have 2 different screen calibrations stored in my BenQ display … one for day to day use , video editing etc and the other purely for photography.
Both have different settings but the ones I show here for Photography ensure a near perfect Screen to Print match 👍🏻
This video is just 60 secinds long and I show the settings for Photography / Print …
Photographers ... who knew that connecting your computer to your display with a HDMI cable actually be the reason you're colours look bad and your prints look nothing like they do on the screen?
This video explains all why
IMPORTANT NOTE:
This video is NOT refering to the HDMI cable but the HDMI settings. In some systems for example with an NVIDIA Graphics Card it is possible to dive in and alter the setting so give the Full Range (0 - 255) however this isn’t possible on some other systems including Mac. In this case, amn alternative connection between computer and display is advised e.g. USB-C
Now that Adobe has released Denoise AI Noise Reduction in Lightroom and Camera Raw how does it compare to other Noise Reduction Software by Topaz, DxO, On1 and Luminar?
