3 Ways to Reset Image Edits in Adobe Lightroom

I’m not sure I can remember how many times I’ve dug a hole so deep during my editing in Adobe Lightroom that I couldn’t find my way out. I mean, there have been times where I pushed far too many sliders. After I do this, I usually let an image sit for a while as […]

How to Create, Rename & Delete Snapshots in Adobe Lightroom

In my last post, I talked about how to look into and use the History panel in Adobe Lightroom. In this post, I’ll be discussing a tool that works hand in hand with that, which is called Snapshots. In the past, I’ve said that Lightroom, in many respects, is very similar to Camera Raw. In […]

Using the History Panel in Adobe Lightroom

Even though the History panel is quite visible in the left column of the Develop panel in Adobe Lightroom, not too many editors take full advantage of its capabilities. In all honesty, it’s one of the most useful tools in Lightroom. Its flexibility allows you to pinpoint exactly where you are in your workflow and […]

How to Remove Red Eye From a Photo Using Adobe Camera Raw

There are many things that can render a photograph useless. Too dark, too light, blurriness, graininess and yes – red eye. Red eye could quite possibly be the worst.

It’s sort of like telling someone, “Hey, look at this and not at that.” […]

5 Ways to Open Video Files into Adobe Photoshop

Opening video files into Adobe Photoshop isn’t difficult. It’s sort of like opening regular image files, but as similar as these two processes are, there are some differences. With images, things are fairly one dimensional. With video, things are three dimensional. It’s the extra dimensions that need a closer look. In today’s post, I’m going […]

Exploring the Video Timeline Panel in Adobe Photoshop

I’ve been doing some thinking and have concluded that video is the future. While I absolutely love photography and will never give it up, I think it would only be prudent for me to immerse myself in video as much as possible. I’ve been taking and editing video for almost five years, so I almost […]

Using Erodible Tips in Adobe Photoshop

If you’re the average Adobe Photoshop user, you’ve probably never heard of erodible brush tips before. Heck, you probably hardly even use the Brush Tool. This tool is primarily reserved for those who like to draw and sketch. Well, if you’re into photography, I’m sure you use it for other things, such as lightening, darkening […]

Removing Objects with the Patch Tool in Adobe Photoshop

Even though I use Adobe Photoshop almost every day of my life, I still find myself in awe of some of it’s capabilities.
