My NEW Frequency Separation Action (How to Use)

A while back now I did a LIVE Stream on my YouTube Channel showing how to use the incredible Frequency Separation Technique; without doubt the most useful technique to learn and use in Photoshop.

Following the LIVE Stream I then created an Action to help automate the process and made this available for free as a download to folks who joined my email community / newsletter.

However, if I’m honest, the Action was a little bit clunky in that it worked great when there was a layer in Photoshop called Background OR named a certain way. My Bad!

So, I’ve fixed it, and

Fixing Wide Angle Lens Distortion with Photoshop

, ,

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,

How to quickly create Autumn using Photoshop

I guess we have to accept now (certainly here in the UK) that the summer months are well and truly gone, but without feeling too down in the dumps, there’s the magic of Autumn to look forward to bringing with it a change in the trees to beautiful burnt oranges, yellows and reds.

In the mean time though, if you’re feeling a little impatient, here’s a REALLY quick technique in Photoshop for creating an Autumn scene plus adding in a dreamy glow…

VIDEO REPLAY: Photoshop Lighting Effects YouTube LIVE

Last Friday (13th August) at 8pm I hosted a LIVE Broadcast over on my YouTube Channel going through a couple of Photoshop Lighting Effects Tutorial PLUS a workaround for the Colour Grading technique I shared for anyone who doesn’t use Adobe Premiere Pro.

The broadcast ran for about 35 / 40 minutes or so and felt great to be back online, seeing and interacting with everyone in the chat.

The set up I use for the LIVE Broadcasts is so good in that amongst many other things, I’m able to bring comments up onto the screen which makes it so much more interactive.

Anyway, if you weren’t able to catch it LIVE, here’s a REPLAY where I’ve also

If there’s one thing that has a BIG impact on your recognisable style, it’s how you colour grade your images.

There are so many ways to do this and a lot of the time it boils down to personal preference, however, imagine if there was a really easy way to take the colour from your favourite movie or tv programme and add that into your pictures!

Well, here’s a hack that I worked out to do exactly that with just one click!

The technique first of all makes use of Adobe's

The Invisible Black Background

The Invisible Black Background

Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been putting a lot of time into not just revamping my website, but moving it to a completely new hosting platform (thank you SquareSpace). I’m going to be writing a post about why I’ve done this, but needless to say I am VERY happy I finally made the (much needed) move.

Anyway, as part of the moving process I connected my Google Analytics account to the new site and what was really interesting to see was that ‘Invisible Black Background’ was still ranking high up there as one of the search terms used by folks and that lead them to my site. If you didn’t know, ‘Invisible Black Background’ refers to a photograph technique I named and that was featured in the New York Times, and is basically a way to make it look as though
