The December 2021 release of Lightroom Classic (version 11.1) provides support for new cameras, lenses, and bug fixes…
Most notably, Lightroom now supports Raw processing of files from the new Sony A7IV

Just dropping in with a quick one to let you know of some discount codes and offers I know that are available from folks that I’ve been creating content for lately.

This one is valid until 23rd December 2021 and relates to a 5% Discount off any BenQ Monitor in the SW range purchased through WeX when using the code BENQ5 on checkout:
In this weeks video on my YouTube Channel I go through how to get the very best prints when using Canon Printers, and at the end I mention some discount codes and offers that Permajet have put together…
This one gives 15% OFF any of the papers in the Permajet Range
DEWIS22
When purchasing the Canon Pro 300 from Permajet, if you add this code at check-out, a 10 Sheet Sample Pack of various Photo Paper in the Permajet range is added to the order free of charge:
Printing can be incredibly frustrating and costly if it doesn’t turn out right.
Despite following the advice of calibrating your screen and using paper profiles, the results just don’t look good and certainly don’t match what you see on the screen.
Good News though…it might not be down to something you’re doing wrong; it may actually be an issue somewhere with the software and / or the printer.
In this video, I show you how we can fix that if you’re using Lightroom as your printing software AND Canon Printers…in particular the newer models.
Enjoy,

In this latest video (which is under 7 minutes long) on my YouTube Channel I go through a Super Fast technique for faking the look of detail, texture and sharpness in eyes.
Of course nothing beats getting it all ‘in camera’ but for whatever reason that just didn’t happen and the eyes are lacking punch, this works an absolute treat…
Following on from the recent (HUGE) update to both Lightroom and Camera Raw that was unveiled at Adobe Max, I’ve now written a FREE update to my latest book, The Photoshop Layers and Selections Workshop
The update covers all you need to know to get up and running with the new Selections and Masks functionality in Camera Raw (it’s the same in Lightroom) and is available as a PDF download in addition to the follow along images.
The update is available for FREE from the Publishers (Rocky Nook) website at the following link:

If only it was this easy in real life to get rid of sunburn!
Alas no…but here’s a super fast and easy technique for dealing with sunburnt skin in your pictures by making use of just one Hue & Saturation Adjustment Layer.
Hope you like it,

Ok so yesterday I shared a new video on my YouTube Channel going through a recent-ish photo shoot I had with a female surfer.
In the video I go through a Behind the Scenes showing what went into making the picture whilst on location but then show how just one slider in Photoshop made the final picture, I believe, a winner.
As is always the case, it’s the small things that make the BIG difference in Photography and Retouching, and that’s exactly where the Neural Filters in Photoshop comes in when used sparingly.
You’ll see what I mean in the video but also, and I think importantly, why the filter had to be used in the first place.

Today I’ve updated the GEAR Page here on my website to list the kit I’m now using when filming on-location.
Over the past couple of years I've been trying out all sorts of equipment to make my 'filming on location' kit that much more portable and convenient.
Really happy with what I'm using these days because it is extremely portable AND the quality of the footage is superb!
I’m going to be doing a video soon for my YouTube Channel to show everything, especially the 360 Camera which, by the very nature of what it is, is like having a film crew out with you capturing lots of different angles at once.
Check out the updated GEAR page using this LINK or just click in the menu bar at the top of the screen.

I got my first GoPro (Hero 5) a few years back and was sooooo disappointed in the quality of the footage that it ended up being put into a drawer and never being used again.
Recently though, GoPro announced the Hero 10 and looking at all the promotion and hype, it looked to be a vast improvement, so I dived in and added it to my filming kit.
Unfortunately I was disappointed yet again, and following an accident with it whereby it got smashed and then GoPro kindly sending me a new one, I decided to give it one more go.
Needless to say after a few educated tweaks of the settings, I’m now quite happy with it. The footage is actually quite good.
In this video I share the settings to dial in AND show some much improved footage.
Enjoy,
Glyn
