One real annoyance with Photoshop CS4 is that Print Package and Contact Sheet printing is missing. These options appeared in earlier versions of Photoshop but they aren’t installed automatically in Photoshop CS4. You might be excused for thinking this means you can’t print multiple photos per page in Photoshop CS4. Nothing could be further from [...]
In a previous post I showed how to fix this image by creating duplicates of the background layer, fixing one copy focusing on the shadows and fixing the other focusing on the highlights and then blending the two layers using masks. If you find masks tricky to use or if you have never used masks [...]

Actions are a feature of Photoshop that allow you to automate tasks. So you can record your steps as you work as an action and then play them back to make repetitive tasks more simple to perform. You can also find actions on the web that others have created and download them to use yourself. [...]

In this post I’ll show you where to find the application and how to get started using it: If you are [...]
If you’re a keen photographer, chances are that you publish some of your photos to Flickr for sharing with friends and family. One of the disadvantages of Lightroom 2 is that it does not come with a built in tool for publishing direct to Flickr although this has been addressed in Lightroom 3 which does [...]

One of our readers wrote to me recently explaining that he is using Photoshop Elements and that the resize feature in Photoshop does not work in Photoshop Elements.
