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?
I'M ADDICTED!!! 📷 Long Exposures by the Sea (HOW TO) BASIC to BEAUTIFUL 😍
It's incredible how using a long exposure can completely transform the look and feel of a location.
In this video I take you through the Photography showing how a 30 second long exposure can smooth out waves to create a glass like surface, to the retouching in both Lightroom and Photoshop, also showing how to make selections and cuts with one slider.

💥 DO THIS in Lightroom to make your PORTRAITS POP and come to life
Ever since I shared a video showing my 20/10 technique in Photoshop for making Portraits POP, I’ve received a constant flow of questions asking if there was a way to get the same result just using Photoshop.
Well … I had a play and this is what I came up with, and to be honest … I think I prefer it now :)
During the intro I also explain about those 4 layers you will have seen in the original video as I’ve had quite a few questions about them asking if they’re part of the technique

💥 DOING THIS will make your PORTRAITS POP and come to life: My 20/10 Technique
So many times I get comments about the portraits I take and how they appear to almost come forward of the screen, and even more so, forward from the paper when printed.
This effect is largely down to a particular technique that I use in Photoshop; a technique that I call 20/10.
In this latest video I show exactly how I use it but also explain the principle behind it and why it works so incredibly well.

TRY THIS if you struggle SELECTING HAIR in Photoshop: Use the CLONE STAMP TOOL instead!
When it comes to using Photoshop, selecting hair is without doubt THE area that people struggles with more than anything else.
Over recent years, Adobe has put an incredible amount of work into Photoshop with updates that make selections quicker and easier however, even Photoshop has its limitations; try selecting dark frizzy hair on a dark or busy background and you’ll know what I mean.
So here’s a technique that has saved me more times than I can remember because sometimes we just have to cheat.

Autumn / Fall Effect: Transform your Landscape Photographs
It’s my own fault that this year I didn’t manage to grab one single Autumn / Fall photograph; I’ve spent every opportunity photographing down on the coast here in Devon or over the border in Cornwall.
Until next year though (when I WILL get some Autumn / Fall photographs) here’s a couple of ways we can use Photoshop to fake it; the first using a single Adjustment Layer and the second using a new Neural Filter.
When you see the video, which one do yo think works / looks best?
Enjoy,
