Comments are huge when it comes to almost any type of development. I’ve been working online for a very long time and I have to tell you, the more comments, the better. Notes are critical as well, but we’ll discuss that another time. Today, it’s all about comments. I comment when writing code. Pretty much […]

As you go about editing video in Adobe Photoshop, you’ll find that using layer masks is very helpful as a method for telling your story. While working on video, these layer masks act almost identically as they do when editing regular photographs. In essence, they nondestructively hide and reveal parts of a layer, depending on […]

This is pretty cool. I’ve always loved playing with the lighting effects filters in Adobe Photoshop. Adobe has added a lot to this area in the past few years and the changes are worth looking at. In today’s post, I’ll be exploring the Lighting Effects area of the Filters menu in Adobe Photoshop. This is […]

I remember back, years ago, when I used to color correct photos for one of my blogs. I used auto-correct as if it was going out of style. Throughout my editing, I learned that I only did so many corrections and over time, I concluded that auto-correct was the way to go. I’d use auto-tone, […]

Of all the tasks editing video requires, playback is probably the most popular. Editing is all about back and forth, making a change, playing the video back, making another change and playing it again. It’s the same thing with audio editing.

I’d like to look at something a bit closer today that has to do with the video timeline and Layers panel in Adobe Photoshop. The two areas are connected in that they house and control how video is arranged inside the Timeline panel. This is one of those things folks have a tough time figuring […]

Have you ever wondered how some photographers seem to capture and create absolutely stunning photographs? Have you attempted to recreate what you’ve seen online only to fail time and time again? Have you seen wedding and landscape photos that are simply magnificent and wondered how in the heck the photographer did it? Well, I’m here […]

Can you imagine not having control over what’s blurred out in the photographs you take? In my opinion, having aperture control has got to be one of the most critical and popular aspects of photography today. There’s so much creativity involved. It’s sort of like telling someone, “Hey, look at this and not at that.” […]

Not many people know what dynamic range is when it comes to their cameras. It’s not until they get involved with photography for a number of years that they learn why certain cameras cost thousands of dollars more than others. When they read reviews on Amazon, they consume all sorts of information about features, look […]

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 […]
