Dark Side of the Lens

This next tutorial is again from the EasyPSE iTunes App from the Apple iTunes Store (there’s a shock for you!).   We’ll have an in-depth look at the Photoshop Elements Colour Pallet. Much of this is identical to that found in Photoshop CS, but with a couple of things, such as the CMYK workspace, absent. [...]

About time we had a project from the EasyPSE iTunes App from the Apple iTunes Store.   This is a simple project in which several images are blended into one to form a collage. In this example I’ve used some photos from a holiday to Thailand, but you could use this for just about anything [...]

Another video from the EasyPSE iPhone/iPad video tutorial app, available on the Apple iTunes Store.   I don’t like the style of over air brushed images you typically find on magazine covers. I believe that a photo of a person, unless for some other specific reason, should truly reflect what that person actually looks like [...]

Here we go, another video from the EasyPSE iPhone/iPad video tutorial app, available on the Apple iTunes Store.   I recall when I first came across "Levels", many moons ago, I was blown away but how easily, and quickly, I could make this one simple change and have my photos immediately jump in quality.  Unless [...]

Another video from the EasyPSE iPhone/iPad video tutorial app, available on the Apple iTunes Store Giving your photo a frame can often make it come to life, really popping off the screen.  Rather than using the more traditional frames, in this tutorial I crete a simple, modern, frame but also tweak the photo, and make [...]

Another sneak preview into the upcoming Easy PSE series of video tutorials, which I hope to launch later this week! This tutorial covers the Clone Stamp Tool.  This is a very useful tool indeed, as well as being heaps of fun, and if regularly used by photographers, and other Photoshop Elements users, to tidy up [...]

With the upcoming iPhone/iPad App, later to be released on Android and as a video eBook, about to launch, I thought I’d give you all a sneak preview of one of my new videos. I have chosen this particular video to share first as it was requested (thanks Vickie) on the new Dark Side of [...]

Buying your first, or a new, digital camera can be heaps of fun, but it can also be a bit of a nightmare if you don’t know the terminology or what features matter more than others. Everyone wants a camera for their own reasons and, as with most things in life, there is no definitive [...]

Well, hopefully everyone has recovered from an excellent New Year by now. If not then good on you for having such a huge party!!! As promised, here is the second video to complete our exploration of “levels” in Photoshop Elements Questions, problems or comments please simply drop me a line.
