DOG PORTRAIT from START to FINISH in Lightroom and Photoshop

Did you see the dog portrait I did a couple of weeks back?

If not, this is the one.

The dog belongs to my friend Trigga, and I I took it after I’d finished taking his portrait…

So here’s a video showing all the editing / retouching I did in both Lightroom and Photoshop …

Hope you like it, but as always, if you have any questions, just post them in the comments section below and I’ll make sure to reply.

Cheers,

👍 This BLUR FILTER looks FANTASTIC on PORTRAITS !!!

The Depth Blur Filter in Photoshop works great on landscape pictures BUT trying using it on a Portrait and WOW!

Totally brings it to life and gives the feel of the portrait coming forward of the screen / print! I've been experimenting with this lately and am loving the results! In this video I show you my 3 Step Process...

GOODBYE PHOTOSHOP? This HIDDEN BUTTON in Lightroom CHANGES EVERYTHING!

The new Masking Section added into Lightroom was a BIG DEAL! But...did you know there's a Hidden Button that makes it EVEN BETTER by giving way more control? In this video I show ow we can use this hidden function to realistically add drama to skies, add Special Effects, light a Macro Shot AND add Highlights to a Portrait!

💥 NEW FEATURE in Photoshop: REMOVING OBJECTS just got EASIER!!!

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!

💡 This is how I ADD a BACKGROUND LIGHT or SPOTLIGHT into my pictures using PHOTOSHOP

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,

👁👁 EYES: BRIGHTEN , ADD CATCH LIGHTS + MAKE THEM POP: One Technique that does it ALL!

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!
