• Wrapping Realistic Light Around a Composited Subject

  Mark S. Johnson

  3 May 2013 | 8:53 am

  This technique is written for Photoshop CS6, but can be accomplished in prior versions. Compositing with photos is one of my all-time favorite endeavors. I relish the opportunity to exercise my creative muscles while crafting a scene with cinematic qualities that might not be possible to create with only a camera. In today’s lesson, we’ll examine one of the techniques that is most essential to making a composite believable…wrapping light around the subject. I’ll show you the original way of doing this as well as a new way that I stumbled upon quite by accident. (Note: Both…

  I joined Adobe to make the tools that my friends & I wanted to use. I was a Web designer & animator who loved what I could do with Photoshop & Flash, but who hated all the barriers that got in the way. My whole mission was—and has remained—to hijack the brains of smarter people and get them building the stuff we (creators) need. My loyalty has always been to that mission. Like most big changes, the move to Creative Cloud is both exciting & disruptive. So far some people love it while others are very upset. I’m not writing this post thinking I’ll change…

• Can you open a Photoshop CC file in CS6?

  John Nack

  15 May 2013 | 12:10 pm

  Over the last few days I’ve seen numerous questions about what data, exactly, is backward-compatible when opening a Photoshop PSD file in an older version of the app. The Photoshop team has worked to keep things as compatible as possible even with 20+ years of evolution. Just for reference, here are some points that might be useful to know. Generally speaking, features that don’t depend on new functionality (e.g. bitmap layers) open just fine in older versions. (In theory an 8-bit layered PSD full of images should open in Photoshop 3.0, released in 1994.) Photoshop makes a point…

• A Super Quick Way To Convert Your Photo To Black And White

  jgilbert@photoshopuser.com (Matt Kloskowski)

  9 May 2013 | 11:01 pm

  Hey everyone. Here’s a great little tip for you if you want to see quickly see what your photo looks like as a black and white, without going to a different panel and messing with sliders. Ready… just go to the Develop module and press the V key. Yup… that’s it. It does the default black and white conversion, and gives you a good idea of whether you’d want to process the photo any further as a B&W. If you like it, then head down to the B&W panel and make some more adjustments. If not, just press the V key again and it’ll take you back to the color…

• What Photoshop CC (Creative Cloud) Means For Lightroom Users?

  jgilbert@photoshopuser.com (Matt Kloskowski)

  6 May 2013 | 11:01 pm

  There’s obviously lots of feedback, buzz, interest, and excitement, from Adobe’s announcement yesterday. If you missed it, in a nutshell, Photoshop as we know it is going totally subscription based. So basically, you can’t buy a stand alone boxed or download copy of it anymore. You have to subscribe to the Adobe Creative Cloud to get Photoshop CC (CC means Creative Cloud). However, for now you’ll still be able to buy Lightroom standalone without subscribing (even though it’s also included in the CC). By the way, if you hadn’t noticed Photoshop CS is no…

• Lightroom Tip: Hiding Panels

  jgilbert@photoshopuser.com (Matt Kloskowski)

  2 May 2013 | 11:01 pm

  Did you know that you can hide specific panels in Lightroom? You probably knew that you can collapse a panel just by clicking the tiny arrow next to the name of the panel. But you can also hide them so they simply don’t show up. For example, personally I don’t use the Split Toning panel, so why even have it show up there anymore? To hide it (or any other panel) right click under the Histogram in the dark gray empty area in the Develop module (just to the left of the word Basic in the Basic panel). The panels that are visible will be checked. To hide one or more just click on it.

• The Secret To Getting Photoshop Elements To Work With Lightroom

  jgilbert@photoshopuser.com (Matt Kloskowski)

  30 Apr 2013 | 11:00 pm

  I hear more and more that photographers who use Lightroom are now using Elements as well (as opposed to Element’s big brother, the full version of Photoshop). With Elements at an insanely cheap price ($59 at Amazon for example), I honestly can’t blame ‘em. Elements is a hugely powerful program and I think for a lot of photographers out there, that just want basic cloning/healing/layers/selections/retouching, it’ll take care of most of your needs. There is a trick, however, if you’re setting up Elements as an external editor with Lightroom (on the Mac that is).

  Tilt-Shift Lens The Edge 80 Optic is the newest addition to the Lensbaby Optic Swap System. It’s a tilt-shift optic that, when tilted, creates a sharp area of focus through the photo that’s bordered by a blur. Move the lens left or right to create a vertical area (or slice) of focus, up or down for a horizontal area, and diagonally for, well, you get the point. It takes some practice to consistently achieve the desired results. When pointed straight ahead, it can be used as a traditional lens.

Good teachers open doors. They make sense of ramshackle, unformed thoughts.

  Those Star Trek special effects guys are going to feel pret-ty foolish when they find out about Adam Kennedy. Turns out you don’t need years of computer-generated image training to create breathtakingly detailed alien planets. Adam finds his planets on the street! Fire hydrants, my friends. He photographs, the rusted, peeling spheres that sit atop fire hydrants and edits them into wonderfully awe-inspiring habitats. The best part about Adam’s planet project is that it started with a single imaginative thought. It’s what inspires street art, photographers, and artists of…

  You had a journal once. Then, your little sister found it and told your crush all about your dreams of running away to Disneyland to fulfill your dream of meeting Ariel IRL. That was embarrassing. Days is totally not that. It’s a journal (disguised as an iOS app) that you’ll *want* to share with friends. The goal behind the app is to have you document your life in photos as it happens. Shoot photos throughout the day, and publish your post of photos the following day in a visually delightful grid of time-stamped pics. How the heck is this different from Instagram? So many ways.

  You’ve always wanted to catch one awesome photo of lightning striking down on Earth’s surface. Turns out we’ve been doing it wrong this whole time. Phillip Stearns figured it out: Step 1 — throw out your camera. Step 2 — expose your film with 15,000 volts of electricity. Inspired by the science between cameras and our very own eyes, Phillip turned to experimenting with peel-apart instant film. He starts by pouring household chemicals (like bleach) onto the film to manipulate color and then touches a neon tube ballast to the film to electrocute the surface. The…

  An over active imagination? Ya, I have one of those! My love affair with rocks is pretty well known and that’s due in part to my imagination. For example this one at Lake Tahoe, it looks like a fish monster rising its head from the depth to spit out some chewing tabaco on us dumb photographers getting up early on a bald sky morning to shoot rocks. Perhaps a little more nuts is not only seeing this but then shooting to bring it out.

You could even pick it up when it was in operation without scorching your hands. ...And I hate it even more than the old one. The reason: it does everything well except toast. It leaves stripes on bread, toasts the top of the bread more…

It surprised me when I couldn’t pass the vision exam for my driver’s license test at 16; the lady giving the test kind of bluffed me through it. My senior year I got glasses—which I only wore for math class—because I couldn’t read the problems on the board.

• Latest Sensors Better for Infrared Photography?

  17 May 2013 | 12:21 am

  Since none of my other current cameras do a very good job with infrared photography, I started wondering if the new X-Trans sensor in the Fujifilm X-20 might be better than the others. As it turns out, it is. Here are examples why - http://thedigitalstory.com/2013/05/easy-infrared-photog.html

• No excuse for boring an audience: Advice on giving technical presentations

  Garr

  7 May 2013 | 10:47 pm

  Long before "death-by-powerpoint" or vertigo-by-prezi, there were bad presentations. Really bad presentations. So don't blame the software. The genesis of painfully dull or muddled presentations predates the computer. No one knows this better than scientists, researchers, and academics, who have long been required to attend numerous conferences each year, conferences which typically feature a keynote speaker and scores of shorter presentations by others in their field. Over the years I've heard from many people with technical backgrounds about what is a good presentation and what is not. I've…

• TED Talk: A story of survival, resilience, and hope

  24 Apr 2013 | 12:56 am

  Hyeonseo Lee's 2013 TED Talk describing her escape from North Korea is one of the most compelling and inspiring talks I've seen on the TED stage in quite a while. I'm not saying it's technically the best TED talk ever, but it's certainly one of my personal favorites. I showed the talk a few times here to my students in Japan and they were amazed and inspired by this young woman's experience and her remarkable story. There are storytelling lessons to be learned by examining these kind of true-life personal narratives. In the book Story Craft: The Complete Guide to Writing Narrative Nonfiction,…

• Should we be suspicious of stories?

  12 Apr 2013 | 3:35 am

  We are wired for stories. “Evolutionary biologists confirm that 100,000 years of reliance on stories have evolutionarily hardwired a predisposition into human brains to think in story terms,” says research scientist and engineer Kendall Haven in his book Story Proof: The Science Behind the Startling Power of Story. “We are programmed to prefer stories and to think in story structures.” Stories are ubiquitous in our lives. Jean-Paul Sartre said, "A man is always a teller of stories. He lives surrounded by his own stories and those of other people. He sees everything that happens to him…

• Visual storytelling lessons from Citizen Kane, one of Roger Ebert's favorite films

  Garr

  8 Apr 2013 | 1:34 am

  Last week, a mere two days after he wrote an article entitled "A Leave of Presence," the acclaimed and beloved American film critic Roger Ebert died. Like millions of other people, news of his passing deeply saddened me. I loved Ebert's writing, his wit, and his determination battling illness these past years, but I will always remember him from the '80s with Siskel & Ebert. Their authenticity was so rare and appealing back then (it's still rare today). I learned a lot about what makes for a good film over the years by reading or listening to Roger Ebert. Since the '90s, Ebert took time…

   "We don’t stop playing because we grow old,"George Bernard Shaw said. "We grow old because we stop playing." We know—but too often forget—that play is a key component of learning and creativity (it's even good for business). Play is also the key to a healty body, a healthy mind, and a long life, says Stephen Jepson, founder of Never Leave the Playground.

  As noted by AppleInsider, MacBook Air supplies are beginning to dry up as Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference approaches. Currently, the 13.3-inch 256GB 1.8Ghz MacBook Air is out of stock at Amazon.com, with a listed one to two month waiting period.

In a new article highlighting how Google was able to announce its own music service ahead of Apple, The Verge notes that Apple's desire to provide a hybrid listener experience has meant more work at the negotiating table.For starters, Google chose to offer a standard subscription music service very similar to those built…

What’s new in this 3.0 version is the integration of location based Google Now. These cards can start you off with the current weather conditions and traffic conditions.

However, until their latest update Dropcam always ran continuously, I don’t really need two of my three Dropcams to run when I’m on site. I really just need them to run when I’m away.
