I’ve never been an expert when it’s come to how many bits I’m supposed to use when editing photographs. I know that JPEG images use 8 bits and my Canon T7i RAW images use 12 bits.

Problems When Using Camera Raw as a Filter in Adobe Photoshop

I have used Camera Raw as a filter in Photoshop for a while now and everything has been progressing smoothly. As I work with more complex files that call for more than one filter though, I’ve been experiencing a few issues. For instance, let’s say I convert my image layer into a Smart Object in […]

How to Extend the Canvas Size in Adobe Photoshop

Have you ever wondered if there’s an easy method for enlarging or extending the size of your canvas in Adobe Photoshop? If I had to guess, most people would probably head straight for the Image > Canvas Size menu item and then adjust the settings in the dialog box that appears. If you’ve never seen […]

Opening Files into Photoshop from Lightroom & Bridge

I use Adobe Camera Raw about 25 times more than I use Lightroom, so I’m always interested in learning more about how Lightroom operates.
