Adobe Photoshop Tips, Tutorials & Techniques

This is very cool. Do you remember back in the day, before adjustment layers in Adobe Photoshop were around, when we had to visit the Image menu item and then use the items in the Adjustments section? If you’ve used Photoshop for a decent length of time, you surely remember this. If not, let me […]

Halloween is just around the corner, so I thought I’d write a post that discusses how to turn a creepy photograph into an even more creepy photograph. I mean, when it comes to Halloween, you can’t get creepy enough. For today’s post, I’ll focus primarily on the Gradient Map adjustment layer in Adobe Photoshop. Gradients […]

I’ve got tons of little adjustment layer tips for you to take advantage of in Adobe Photoshop. These are things that you might otherwise overlook, but are in plain sight. I’ll be sprinkling them in between posts here and there, but thought I’d start the process by sharing a tip for creating an interesting look […]

I’ve got a fun little project to share with you today. I just thought of it a few minutes ago and I think you’ll enjoy reading about it. It has to do with creating a custom transition that goes from black to transparent. The unique part of this one is that I’m going to choose […]

Smart Objects and Smart Filters have become an enormous part of working inside of Adobe Photoshop. I’ve discussed both of these features in many posts on this website, but I’ve yet to give an overview of what each of these are.
