Clothing can be an annoying finicky thing, bunching up in distracting ways, or getting torn and stained at the most inopportune times. While fixing a stain in Photoshop is often relatively straightforward, dealing with a bunched-up sleeve can be tricky, particularly since clothing often has a fixed pattern you need to keep intact to make the edit believable. This helpful video tutorial from a Photoshop pro will show you everything you need to know to get it done correctly. [ Read More ]Original link(Originally posted by Alex Cooke)

It’s not just the price, which is considerably lower than any other camera in the market that gives the same quality. It's a camera like no other, and its digital film footage is pure eye-candy every single time I get into the editing booth. [ Read More ]Original link(Originally posted by Wouter du Toit)

Leica is a legendary brand, well known for a very specific camera experience and a desirable, unique look to their images. Fujifilm has made significant strides in the past decade, though, and their X-Pro series offers an experience similar to a rangefinder with a variety of interesting advanced and hybrid features. So, is Leica worth its significantly higher price? This great video review compares the Leica M11 to the Fujifilm X-Pro3 to find out. [ Read More ]Original link(Originally posted by Alex Cooke)

I picked up a Fujifilm X-T4 about five months ago to use primarily as a backup camera and for street photography, video, and family use. Although I shoot with a Canon system in my studio, I fell in love with Fuji’s cameras years ago when I acquired an X-Pro1 and a few X lenses. In this article, I offer a friendly critique and some suggestions for Fuji to improve an already great camera system. [ Read More ]Original link(Originally posted by Pete Coco)

It used to be that most supertelephoto zoom lenses were significantly below the standards demanded by professionals, leaving you to either buy a stratospherically priced prime or make do. However, in the last few years, we have seen an explosion of better lenses, and one of the most impressive options out there is the Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1L IS USM. This excellent video review takes a look at the lens and the sort of image quality and performance you can expect from it in practice. [ Read More ]Original link(Originally posted by Alex Cooke)

When it comes to landscape photography, most photographers default to using a wide angle lens, and there is nothing wrong with that. However, a telephoto lens can create equally compelling images, of course, and if you have not tried one for your own work, now is the time to head out and give it a shot. This excellent video tutorial will give you six awesome tips to get the most out of it. [ Read More ]Original link(Originally posted by Alex Cooke)

Last week we started looking at what is the same, so now let’s look at what’s different. What’s Different? The most obvious, and initially potentially disorienting, difference is the interface. LrC’s interface has largely remained the same since it was released in 2007. Yes, it has gained new features since then, and some panels have been revamped, but a photographer moving directly from the original version to the current version of LrC would be completely oriented to where things are and even find many of the same panels and adjustments. However, a photographer moving from LrC to Lr may need a little time to get oriented to where certain adjustments are located. The most obvious difference in the interfaces is the...

This excellent video tutorial will show you the ins and outs of all three options and help you decide which to choose. [ Read More ]Original link(Originally posted by Alex Cooke)

Kodak Gold 200 film is a popular choice and one of the most affordable stocks you can get, but the 120 format version was discontinued, much to the disappointment of medium format film photographers. Well, after some well-known folk in film photography — at least insofar as social media — kept asking for it, Kodak decided to deliver.

Welcome back, and this time we’re digging in a bit deeper into using Layers and picking up where we left off week issue where I introduced the wonder and magic that is Layer Blend Modes. But this time we’re going to look at the big brother (or older cousin or maybe Uncle, I dunno) of these Blend Modes, which are the “Blend If” sliders. This is definitely a more advanced feature – but not because it’s hard to use (it’s simple), but because you probably wouldn’t even think to use these until you’re a little more advanced in your Photoshop skills, but I think it’s worth introducing them to you now, because (a) they’re really a lot of fun (b) it...
