In the above video, Adobe’s Julieanne Kost shows us how to create composites using these three image blending techniques in Photoshop. It’s a short video but these are great techniques for working with layers and masks, along with good references to shortcut keys to make your workflow more efficient.

Here’s a super short video that shows us how to copy develop settings from one photo to another using Lightroom. I use each of these methods fairly often with the exception of the fourth technique.

ON1 Photo RAW 2018 Officially Released
ON1 Photo RAW 2018 is now officially out of beta and available for purchase. With several new features, the ON1 Photo RAW 2018 looks to capture some of Adobe Lightroom’s market share from those photographers who are not inclined to continue down the subscription path as Adobe locks future upgrades for Lightroom to its subscription-only Creative Cloud plan.
If you missed out on the beta, ON1 will still let you download the full version of Photo RAW 2018 for a 30-day trial period to kick the tires. You can download it here from ON1’s website.
The Next Upgrade for Lightroom 6 is Never; Long Live Lightroom CC!
Back in 2013, we all saw the writing on the wall when Adobe killed its Creative Suite perpetual licenses and Photoshop CS6 became the last version you could buy and keep forever. While Adobe kept delivering some bug fixes and RAW file support for CS6 for awhile, eventually, that stopped.

It’s that time of the year again when Adobe releases updates for its Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements apps. The 2018 versions of the apps offer improved organization, automated editing and new Guided Edits that walk you through how to edit and create.
Adobe Elements Organizer 2018 now automatically curates your photos based on quality, faces, subjects and more. You can also build slideshows of your curated photos and videos with one-click. 67 new guided edits offer step-by-step instructions for tasks like swapping backgrounds, creating double exposures, adding overlay effects and more.
