The NEW Apple Mac Studio M1 MAX - Noisy?

If you’ve seen my recent posts on social media, you’ll likely be aware that my beloved iMac died unexpectedly.

All was fine until I unplugged it all and took it with me to Witney in Oxfordshire to use during a presentation evening (had to take the iMac because my current MacBook Pro will no longer run the latest version of Photoshop, Premiere Pro CC etc...)

Anyway, all was well before I unplugged it, but then when I turned it back on in Witney, it was a no-go! Somehow, somewhere along the line something had gone wrong. The processor was running at over 1000% but no fans kicking in.

Anyway, long story short I took it to Apple and a Genius ran a through tests which resulted in the words Catastrophic Failure.

So, I ended up leaving with a brand new Apple Mac Studio M1 MAX, hence this video…

💥 POWERFUL Blending and Compositing function in Photoshop that you MIGHT have missed! 😲

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?

🎤 VERY IMPRESSED! The (less than) £100 RØDE VideoMic GO II sounds AMAZING 👏

In this video I go through a Practical 'Hands On' with the new RØDE VideoMic GO II Microphone that costs less than £100 BUT produces audio quality to match much more expensive microphones on the market AND it can be used on other devices.

In a world where day to day living is getting more and more expensive this microphone is definitely something to consider.

*NOTE: RØDE did send me the VideoMic Go II but have not paid me to create, or influenced this video. Opinions in this video are entirely my own 👍

💥 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.
