Selecting hair is one of the more challenging Photoshop skills if you want to start doing compositing. Photoshop Touch makes it very easy to do, on the go, using a couple of tools and a filter.

Photoshop Text on a Circular Path

01/04/2013

Using our Contact Us page The Photoshop Nuts were asked if we could explain how to put text on a circle. This was covered a while back by Michael Hoffman in his post Working With Type On a Path as a written tutorial but I thought I’d create a video for those that prefer to learn that way too. In the video, I also explain a technique for creating concentric circles and explain why you’d want to have two windows displaying one image. [More]

In this video I take a flat, 2D image and transform it into a 3D image that a camera can pass into.

In this video I take a look at a feature of Photoshop that’s been around for some time, Vanishing Point. Using this filter I’m able to add three elements to my image, Logo, Text and shadow, all in perspective. There’s no 3D in this so Photoshop users of CS4 and before should be able to follow along.

A Pull Focus Effect With Photoshop CS6

While producing a slideshow recently I thought it might be cool to add a ‘pull focus’ effect to one or two of the images. By doing this, I was able to draw the viewer to various parts of an image. [More]

ACR to Photoshop Edits Aren’t Set in Stone

18/02/2013

I was talking to a photographer the other day and I was saying how much I love Adobe Camera Raw (ACR), and that I’ll do 90% of what I want to achieve there before moving into Photoshop.
