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 […]

When it comes to Adobe Photoshop, masking parts of an image is a very popular task to undertake. In my opinion, the more keyboard shortcuts and clever tricks for this type of thing, the better. When I discover them and stumble over them on the internet, I enjoy bringing them to you. In today’s post, […]

When I think of applying filters to images in Adobe Photoshop, my skin crawls. I don’t like the idea of it at all. I remember all the occasions when I used one of them towards the beginning of whatever it was that I was working on and then when I changed my mind later on […]

Recording and editing video is a highly addictive activity. It’s one of those things that you never knew you’d enjoy, but after capturing a few videos, you find yourself scouring the web for anything and everything relating to the topic.
