In the example today I want to show how it is really easy in Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Camera RAW to repaint or relight the background, saving you the expense and time of lighting and coloured gels etc.
Develop presents in Lightroom or Camera Raw can be more than just a pretty effect. They can help do the heavy lifting or the monotonous processing, so you can focus your energy in more interesting areas.

Lightroom 5 comes with some pretty nice upgrades, but one of the smaller additions may make many photographers excited. Many times you’ll find yourself with a nice looking photo, but because of certain conditions, your lens or surroundings may contain a bit of dust.
What you see, below, is an aberration, a crime committed against a helpless photograph. Yes, a real photograph was harmed in the making of this mess. Why it was done is beside the point; it was done many years ago and now this image remains as one of the few a daughter has of her mother. This may not be a situation that comes up for the majority of you, but in case it, or something like it comes up, there’s a fairly easy way to get the white out…out.

I’m a sucker for a border and Photoshop has a raft of ways in which you can create a border from scratch. The only downside with some Photoshop border effects is they can look digitally created and by that I mean they lack the subtle changes and randomness that only a handmade border provides.
So here’s a solution. Paint your own borders and turn them into custom brushes. Since Photoshop CS6 brushes can be up to 5000 pixels long, twice the size of Photoshop CS5 and that opens up a lot more creative possibilities.
In this video I answer a reader question. Dan wanted to know how he could make sky writing in Photoshop.
Here I use dive into the Brush Pallet and add a few Layer Styles.
