In the above PHLEARN video, Aaron Nace shows us how to make individual colors really pop in Photoshop. He does so by using a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer. Then, isolate the particular color range so that hue and saturation adjustments only affect that specific color in your images.
The recently rumored Nikon full frame DSLR that’s expected in September may very well be a full frame sports shooter, complete with high frame rates and a lower resolution.
New rumors suggest that it won’t be a replacement for the current Nikon D610 and won’t be part of the D6xx line. Instead, the camera will be marketed as an “action” camera. As such, we would expect a better AF system than what we see in the D610 – and more along the lines of the 51-point AF system in the D810 and D4s.
A higher frame rate is also expected for an “action” camera – possibly in photos and video. Of course, if these rumors pan out, we’ll know more very soon.
