Colour Correct images by numbers

Friday, May 18th, 2012

Colour Correct images by numbers with Marek MularczykHave you ever thought about colour correcting images by numbers? (Sorry for my “wrong” British spelling of the word colour… ;-)   ).

There are some situations where it’s easier to color correct images by using numbers, with the help of the Info panel and the Eyedropper tool in Photoshop. So I thought I would create a video tutorial on colour correcting images by numbers using the Eyedropper tool and Info panel.

Enjoy! ;-)

Post-Crop Vignetting in Lightroom

Monday, May 7th, 2012

Post-Crop Vignetting in Lightroom by Marek MularczykIf you have been using Lightroom 3 (and now Lightroom 4), you may have noticed Post-Crop Vignetting in the Effects panel. You can also find it in Photoshop nowadays as well.

Lightroom brings in a nice feature within the Effects panel with Post-Crop Vignetting: Style presets.

There are a few options here:

  • Color Priority
  • Highlight Priority
  • Paint Overlay.

I find Highlight Priority to be slightly less subtle than Color Priority, so I would use Color Priority a bit more. However, Highlight Priority preset is better at recovering highlights in the images, obviously.

In this case, when you work with highlights that you want to recover, Highlight Priority would be the best choice. Keep in mind one thing, though, Highlight Priority may show some colour shifts, especially in darker areas.

Photoshop CS6 New Features – No.10 – Redesigned Print UI

Monday, April 16th, 2012

Photoshop CS6Adobe redesigned the Print dialogue box with the Photoshop CS6 release.

The functionality of the Print User Interface is the same, but some of the options moved a bit. It does look slightly different as well.

All the controls now appear on the right side of the window and the left side displays the image only as shown on the screenshot here:

All panels inside the window can be expanded by clicking on the name of the panel, not just on the triangle next to it (New!).

Photoshop CS6 New Features – No.9 – Video Support

Thursday, April 12th, 2012

Photoshop CS6 new video featuresPhotoshop CS6 expands video support, there are many changes here. The support for video files have been expanded.

Some of the new features are the ability to add sound tracks as well as mute them and creating transitions and fades, a bit like in Premiere Pro. All the usual edits in Photoshop can be performed on a video file as well.

Importing and exporting of video files is now handled by Adobe Media Encoder (you probably now Media Encoder from Flash).

I was also told that video features in Photoshop CS6 will be available in both versions: Standard and Extended, not in Extended only like in Photoshop CS5, which is a great news for all Photoshop users! :-)

Enjoy watching the video I have recorded for you! ;-)
