Removing Objects using Content Aware Fill in Photoshop just got BETTER with this NEW FEATURE where we can now use content from a 2nd image AND use an image that has a completely different composition!
In this video I show how this new feature is making challenging selections and cloning a thing of the past and can save a load of time!
If you find the Pen Tool in Photoshop frustrating, difficult and annoying then TRY THIS!
In this video I show how to take a regular selection and turn it into a PIN SHARP selection AS GOOD AS the Pen Tool but without using it!
The BEST way to learn is by experimenting and playing, so in this video I show how we can use a simple Curves Adjustment technique and a little bit of Masking to Match Skin Tone between two different people and have fun giving an Instant 6 Pack! 😃
So today (after having had a Direct Message and request come through Instagram) I have recorded and uploaded a new video showing how to add a Backlight / Spotlight into your pictures; a great technique if...
a) You didn't have the space to use other light during the photo shoot
b) You had a light but didn't use...and now wish you had
c) You didn't have another light at the time
In this technique I make use of a (very) quick selection and a Levels Adjustment Layer, and the result is VERY effective.
Hope you like it,

I love how we can use techniques in Photoshop to do more than one thing. In this video I show how a GREAT technique that I call the Never Ending Lighting Rig for adding in more lights to your picture can also be used to enhance eyes in portraits by brightening them, adding in fake catch lights and making them POP!
I LOVE Long Exposure Photography BUT what do you do when you're out with your camera and have NO Neutral Density Filters with you? Well, here's a GREAT TECHNIQUE for creating a Long Exposure Effect by combining a number of images together in Photoshop and using a Smart Object and the Median Stack Mode. Quick. Easy and VERY Effective!
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 😉
This is a SUPERB way to remove distractions in your photographs. In this video I'll show you step by step how to get superb results removing stuff like people and vehicles (or anything else that moves) quick and easy using Smart Objects and Stack Modes, that would be impossible using regular tools in Photoshop like the Clone Stamp Tool and Content Aware Fill.
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,

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 👍
If you make selections in Photoshop this is GOLD!
There's ALWAYS something new to learn in Photoshop no matter how many years you've been using it.
Here's something I DID NOT KNOW when using the SHIFT KEY to add to a selection…
