Photoshop and lightroom tutorials to show you how I do my edits. Hope you find them useful, leave a comment or drop me a line via the contact page if there’s something in particular you want to know how to do. If I get a lot of requests for the same thing, I’ll make a video to show how to do it :)
This photoshop tutorial video will give you an idea of how I edit in general, using a recent photo of Aly as an example. I always edit slightly different depending on the photo, but many aspects of this edit work for especially well for bright outdoor photos.
Note: You need advanced knowledge of how to use photoshop in order to be able to follow this video – blending modes, masks, adjustment layers etc.
Stay tuned for the actual photos from the underwater / pool shoot , they should be going up in the next two weeks, I’m working on them now.
Will be doing all tutorials in video format from now on, video tutorials are a lot easier to make, you just have to put up with my voice! I need to work on my enunciation. The delightful things you don’t realise about your voice until you listen to it played back…
What else do you want me to make videos on? Twitter or comment me! If I get a lot of requests for the same thing, I might make a video of it :)
Over the last two weeks I have been going on a mini Photoshop tutorial spree and was excited to do things a little differently and test out some new techniques (as well as old ones) on the photos from the Claremont Grill’d visit I posted about last week. I’ve tried to put a little tutorial together, let me know what you think, things may not be explained at a beginner level, but with screenshots and some ingenuity, I hope beginners will be able to follow along too.
I posted up my lightroom process for a photo last week and you’ll see the massive difference between how I edit in lightroom (quick and dirty) versus photoshop (longer, more complicated – and this one is a quick edit).
Anthony asked me how I post processed the photo below, taken on the same day as Genie in the Park. So, instead of typing out some quick vague instructions, I decided to quickly put together some screenshots of my settings in lightroom and put it on my blog for the curious. This is not really a fully fledged tutorial, just a step-by-step insight into what I was thinking – to be honest I’m probably not well qualified to write a tutorial!
I’ll go through my thought process as well as screenshots of the actual lightroom settings. I’ve only used lightroom, no photoshop except to add the watermarks.
I ordered this Tecre Model 100 button making machine online and was so excited to start making buttons. The piece of paper that came with the machine made the process seem pretty straightforward.
But somehow we managed to mangle the button.
Eventually we figured it out and I wrote this so I could remember how it was done, maybe you’ll find it helpful too.
This is designed to go along with the instructions given by the manufacturer, not replace them!
