Adobe Photoshop Tips, Tutorials & Techniques

Photoshop offers many different types of selection tools, many of which I’ve already discussed on this website. One tool that I’ve been using since the very beginning is called the Magic Wand Tool. This tool is shaped like a, well, a magic wand and it has the capability to select very small and precise areas […]

Okay, so I’ve been talking about the value of shooting in RAW mode with your camera and using Smart Objects in Adobe Photoshop for a few years now. If you’re interested in reading all my posts about these topics, please use the search bar at the top of this site to find each one. Just […]

On this website, I’ve already talked a bit about how to add transitions to video clips inside of Photoshop. This feature is really easy to take advantage of. I’ve used video editing software in the past that has truly made me scratch my head. To this day, I don’t have a solid idea of how […]

Have you ever seen those photos or videos that have a typed out word with texture behind it? You know what I’m talking about here. Let’s say you see a video and there’s a word on top of that video. Inside the word (the letters to be more precise) is another video playing. Of course, […]

I think it gives the photo some flavor. But I completely understand the reasoning behind those who like to correct their photos. To them, it’s […]

I’ve written a lot about layer masking on this blog. Masking in Adobe Photoshop is probably one of the most common tasks you’ll face when editing photos and creating graphics. It’s just one of those things you have to learn about. It’s right up there with layers. Once you understand the concept of layers, your […]

The other day, a friend of mine asked me how he could change the color of a background in a photo he was working on. He told me about a photo he had that consisted of a few objects sitting in front of a solidly colored wall. He was curious if I knew a way […]
