Photoshop How To

Let’s face it, most of the time, photos can look pretty bland when you see them straight out of the camera. And it’s no secret that even the best photographers do some editing in post-production to make so-so images look beautiful.

We love it when photographers give us a look at their post-processing workflow because it not only presents some great software tips and tricks, it gives us a peek into how editing plays a vital role in the creative process. One such photographer is Sorelle Amore, who openly states how much she loves editing her images in the below video.

Here’s a fun photo project: composite your friends and family into your photos to create wacky, slightly surreal images. How do you do it? It’s not that hard actually and the folks at COOPH have a video to show you how to do it.

The wonderful (and daunting) thing about Photoshop is its seemingly infinite number of editing features. And even the most serious Photoshop pros can find something new in the program the deeper they dive.

Not too long ago we featured a helpful and easy-to-understand video from Nathaniel Dodson, aka Tutvid, on what he has called the most powerful and most important features in all of Photoshop: the Curves adjustment tool.

Julia Trotti is a photographer we feature a lot on Shutterbug.com because she always has a great way of explaining how she captures her professional quality portraits. Trotti’s the first to admit though that much of her time is spent in Lightroom and Photoshop post-processing her images to get them exactly the way she wants.

Shutterbug columnist and Photoshop/Lightroom expert Scott Kelby returns with another great photography tips video. In the short clip below, Kelby shows you a simple solution on how to geotag your images to add the location where they were shot, even if your camera doesn’t have built-in GPS.
