How to Make Selections Based on Channels in Adobe Photoshop
I’ve been trying to avoid channels in Adobe Photoshop for years and years. I’ve heard about them, seen them and have even messed around with them a bit, but have never appreciated them in the least. It seems that every time I visited the Channels panel in this application, I pressed something that made everything […]
Adjusting an Image with Auto Levels in Adobe Photoshop
I’ll be honest with you. Many photo editors work very quickly. They don’t get bogged down with trying to move sliders around in the most minute ways. They make big bold adjustments and then refine them as they go. One of the best methods for making a bold edit is to use Auto buttons when […]
Fixing Video That’s Too Bright or Too Dark in Adobe Photoshop
When you get into the heavier side of video editing in Adobe Photoshop, there may be times when you need to use multiple video clips, as opposed to just one, inside of your overall project. During those times, it’s important for all of the clips to be consistent with their lighting. You wouldn’t want any […]

I’ve got a fun little project to share with you today. I just thought of it a few minutes ago and I think you’ll enjoy reading about it. It has to do with creating a custom transition that goes from black to transparent. The unique part of this one is that I’m going to choose […]

While much of what I’ve written […]

I’ve been thinking about the Split Toning panel in Adobe Lightroom and was wondering if I could make a color photo look as good as I made the black and white one look in my last post. I obviously don’t want to create any type of sepia toning on a colored photo, although I could […]
Creating a Sepia Tone Look with Split-Toning in Adobe Lightroom
I was messing around with the Split Toning panel in Adobe Lightroom yesterday and found it rather simple to apply a sepia tone look to an already black and white photograph. If you aren’t aware, the word sepia is derived from the Greek word meaning “cuttlefish. Apparently, the cuttlefish looks like a squid and can […]
Sharpening with Filters & Blend Modes in Adobe Photoshop
When working in Adobe Photoshop, you’ll likely notice that there isn’t always “a button for that,” meaning, there isn’t always going to be a ready and obvious tool that does exactly what you’d like it to do to solve whatever issue it is you’re up against. Sometimes, you’ll need to get creative with your solutions. […]
The Anatomy of a Smart Filter in Adobe Photoshop
Smart Objects and Smart Filters have become an enormous part of working inside of Adobe Photoshop. I’ve discussed both of these features in many posts on this website, but I’ve yet to give an overview of what each of these are. What I’m referring to here is how these features are presented in the application. […]
