Have you ever wished that Photoshop could be as quick and easy as Lightroom at simply applying the same edit to many photos? Have you ever loved Photoshop but hated going from photo to photo applying the same action one at a time? Well wish no further because the answer is right under your nose – batch [...]
I first fell in love with Brooke Snow when she started posting the Inspired by Life video series on her blog and I noticed that she was something I was not: calm. Brooke was chilled out and not frantically running around shooting thousands of images. Now, at this point I’d gotten over the spray-and-pray stage where many newbies begin. [...]
I had an email yesterday from a reader named Stephanie who said that she’s caught in a vicious cycle of portfolio building. She doesn’t want to charge while she’s portfolio building because then, she’ll be in business and have all the worries that come with it but she doesn’t want to launch a for-profit business [...]
Lightroom 3 has a pretty clever sharpening system. Isn’t it funny how when you look at a shot, you think it looks pretty great until you get some sharpening going and then you realize that it wasn’t even close to being sharp? That said, sharpness isn’t the most important thing to many photographers and sharpening [...]
There are many different ways to alter the light coming out of your pop-up and external flash units and many different reasons you might want to do it. Personally, I hate the look of the pop-up flash and even the Speedlite when it’s aimed square-on at my subject and am always looking for ways to [...]
This may hit some beginners like a ton of bricks so brace yourself for a mild disappointment here: your lens isn’t wonderful at all f/stops. Yup. A Canon nifty fifty which opens to f/1.8 isn’t at its best when it’s wide open. And by ‘best’, I mean when a lens it at its sharpest. You [...]
When Darren launched the new dPS ebook – Going Pro recently, he said that the majority of the emails he gets are about how to start making money as a photographer. Ditto, Darren! The eBook is amazing and gives you so much of the information you may be craving. What I’d like to talk about today [...]
Are you a JPEG shooter sick of reading ‘switch to raw’ when you search for editing help? I feel your pain. I shoot both raw and jpeg depending on what I plan on doing with the images. One of the most important elements to start with when editing your images is to review the white balance. [...]
Did you know there are three different ways to edit your white balance in Lightroom? White balance is something that many photographers select with their in-camera settings and its function is to correct too warm or too cool colour casts as a result of the lighting in your scene. For example, fluorescent lighting is very [...]
Recently I posted about the difference between exposure, brightness and fill light. Today, I want to talk about the difference between vibrance and saturation. Those fun little color boosting sliders which can make or break a shot. First, I’ll give you some definitions and the we’ll look closer at the difference made on a shot. [...]
