Video 051 – High Dynamic Range (HDR) – One of the ways we can help deal with contrast. We merge to HDR 3 images that have 2 stops of exposure between each. The process creates a raw file and that is important for the remainder of the process. We take you through start to finish. View this video here in HD or you can Download it to your Computer

Video 052 – Select & Mask – The modern way to make detailed cut-outs working from an ACR raw image. We demonstrate cutting out a blonde hair model from a dark background, including her fine hair. We use a mask and also the decontaminate colour option to put in a completely new background. View this video here in HD or you can Download it to your Computer

Video 053 – Selections – The Polygonal Lasso Tool – Here, we demonstrate a few tips and tricks to make selections completely successful. (see video 30) We look at saving selections and adding one selection to another. We can save the selection one step at a time. Following the creation of the selection, we apply it via a layer mask.  View this video here in HD or you can Download it to your Computer

Video 054 – Bracketed Exposure Editing in ACR & PS – My standard editing technique, using ACR, smart objects and multiple images with different exposures. This example was shot from a tripod. We work with smart objects and a mask to balance exposures between two images. We also demonstrate how we can align images hand held too.  View this video here in HD or you can Download it to your Computer

Video 055 – Actions and the Image Processor – We demonstrate how we can record repeatable steps in PS and apply them to others easily and quickly. We demo how to make an action set and an action within the set. We show how it can be run via a function key such as F8, a button, or fully automatically via the image processor. All this can be done with multiple images with no risk to our originals. View this video here in HD or you can Download it to your Computer

Video 057 – Spotting the Potential in your images – Seeing the potential in a pale thumbnail, lacking colour, contrast and clarity. It’s a vital part of photography and image editing. If we don’t know where we are going, how can we plan to get there. View this video here in HD or you can Download it to your Computer
