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

Selections and Masking in Lightroom Mobile

, ,

Since Adobe Max a couple of weeks ago, the internet has literally been on fire with videos about the major update to Lightroom and Camera Raw with regards to selections and masking; never has there been a more appropriate time to use the phrase “Game Changer”.

But, am I the only person that didn’t realise until now that those exact same updates had been added into the Lightroom Mobile App which in itself is incredible, but even more so when you realise that the selections and masks sync with your desktop and web versions of Lightroom. Incredible!

Here’s a video I put together explaining exactly what I mean…

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,

I made a short film: A Veteran's Story

I made a short film: A Veteran's Story

Last week I spent a few days working on a Secret Project creating a short film for The Veterans Charity which involved filming content in a couple of locations, audio recording, directing and editing.

This project was so secret that not even the CEO or Trustees of The Veterans Charity were aware it was being created ... until today!

This morning they watched it. It was an emotional morning. The film is RAW! It's hard hitting, it's emotional, but most importantly it's REAL! The film is called: A Veteran's Story

SMASHED!!! My Brand NEW GoPro Hero10 ... But was it that good anyway???

,

So a couple of days ago whilst grabbing some BTS (Behind the Scenes) footage from a photo shoot, my brand new GoPro Hero 10 picked a fight with tarmac...and LOST!

I’ll take full blame for the damage though; that was down to the suction cup mounted on the bonnet of my car failing at just under 30mph.

However, annoying as it is that the GoPro is broken at just 2 weeks old, I had been feeling that it wasn’t really as good as the hype would have you believe.

So, here's a video I put together showing how it actually ended up broken PLUS an explanation of why I was becoming less impressed with it…

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…

Photoshop Virtual Summit 3: Thank you so much for the GREAT Feedback

Photoshop Virtual Summit 3: Thank you so much for the GREAT Feedback

I hadn’t planned or intended to add this post but when waking up this morning I thought I’d quickly dive in to check if there were any questions following my Fast Fixes in Photoshop Session that aired yesterday during The Photoshop Virtual Summit 3.

As it turns out there was one question that I’ve now responded to, but it was the feedback that some folks had taken the time to post that has blown me away…
