How to Make Colors POP in Photoshop
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.

How to Get a Still Image From a Video Using Photoshop
You can use Photoshop to extract quality still images from videos. Most video cameras nowadays (including smartphones) shoot 1080 HD video, which yields a single frame of 1920 x 1080 – or about 2MP.
There are a number of ways to pull still images from video clips and even ways to increase the resolution when you combine frames. Photoshop Principal Product Manager Bryan O’Neil Hughes explains how to do so in the above video.
BTS Video with Dave Hill on the 2014 Vanity Fair Hollywood Edition Fiat Ad
Here’s pretty cool inside look at Dave Hill’s photo shoot with FIAT for the 2014 Vanity Fair Hollywood Edition. He shot 4 days to get 4 photos for these ads. The camera of choice was a Hasselblad H3D.
The compositing of the final images combined several days of 12-14 hours of editing in Photoshop and using Cinema 4D to render the shadows. It’s a real, big-budget shoot with a full crew to make cutting edge commercial ad photography.
As a bonus factoid, the entire BTS documentary was shot with a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera.

How to Remove Noise in Photoshop
In the above video, Photoshop Principal Product Manager Bryan O’Neil Hughes shares how to remove noise in Photoshop. He highlights the use of the noise removal tools in Camera Raw, as well as hiding other noise by turning down the black levels.

Understanding the Basics of Low Light Photography

For example, if you are shooting outside and the sun has gone down completely, or if you are shooting inside with dim overhead lighting, a flash is a necessity. But whenever I can avoid it, I prefer taking advantage of natural light, even if it is waning in the half hour after sunset.
To get the most out of your camera, follow these guidelines: [Read more…]
Inverse Square Law of Light Explanation (Part 2) from Karl Taylor
A couple weeks back we saw a video from Karl Taylor where he gave a very straightforward and understandable explanation for the inverse square law of light. The above video is the second and final part of the discussion from Karl.
To reinforce Karl’s video again, the inverse square law in photographic lighting says: the intensity of light radiating from a source is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source.
As a result, an object 2 meters away from a light source, receives only one-quarter the light as an object that is 1 meter away from the source.
How to Add Texture to Images in Photoshop
In this video, Julieanne Kost shows us how to add textures to images using layers in Photoshop. We learn how to use different blend modes to create different effects with textures, as well as how to limit the texture in certain areas of images without using layer masks.
