I’ve got a nice little text effect that I’d like to share with you today. This one is a “self-contained” effect, meaning it can be completed entirely inside of the Layer Style palette. It’s so simple, but it’s got a really cool look to it. I guess you could call it a liquid effect because […]

When I think about the depth of Adobe Photoshop, I sometimes can’t believe what it’s capable of doing. For so many people, Photoshop is merely an application that enhances photographs so they look a little better than they did when they came out of the camera. For others though, Photoshop is a full-fledged photo and […]

If you’ve ever tried to take a photo of an area and had people constantly enter your shot, I can feel your frustration. Just think about it. You’ve either got your tripod set up or you’re just standing there with your camera at a train station, mall, city square or anywhere else people tend to […]

There may come a time when you need to separate out colors in a photograph for some reason or another. This may be because you want something to stand out in an image or because you simply want certain areas to fade into the background. Whatever the reason, it’s oftentimes far too tedious to sit […]

The Camera Raw Filter in Adobe Photoshop is one of the most powerful tools available. It allows us to edit layers within Camera Raw and have those edits appear in Photoshop as a Smart Filter. This feature is extremely helpful because we can edit the image as many times as we want to and we […]

Adobe introduced one of the coolest features available into Photoshop back in 2016. This feature is called the Face-Aware Liquify Filter and what it can do is simply outstanding. There aren’t many tools this intuitive and powerful out there and I have to say, I’m more than impressed by it. Basically, this filter can recognize […]

Histograms are immensely helpful tools when it comes to editing photographs, but I have to say, while they look very cool to have hanging around our cameras and editing applications, they’re also one of the most ignored features out there. Personally, I feel very professional when a histogram is in view. Do I use it […]

I sat down a few days ago and started messing around in Adobe Photoshop. My goal was to see how cool I could make an already exciting and interesting motocross photograph. The image screams action and I thought a bit of text as well as another similar type of image would help, so after playing […]

If you’re old enough to remember back, you’ll recall that there was once a time when people used cameras that contained film as opposed to using digital cameras. I had one (or many) of those film cameras and I can tell you that while I took hundreds and hundreds of photos, I like digital a […]
