Photo How To

Have you ever wondered why some photos go viral and others don’t? We’ve teamed up with pro photographer Jordan Matter once again to help answer this very question.

The primary goal when editing images is to do a thorough job so they look as good as possible. But if there's a way to speed up up the process while still achieving great results, that gets us back out in the field quicker doing what we love most.

Food always looks great in TV and magazine ads, right? That’s usually the case whether we’re talking about a cheap burger at a fast food joint or an expensive steak at a nice restaurant. Well, we hate to break it to you but some of that appetizing food you drool over in ads isn’t really edible at all.

There's a pretty big divide among photographers about the use of Photoshop's innovative artificial intelligence (AI) tools when editing images. Some shooters are excited by the new technology, while other consider it "cheating" and question whether the resulting images can rightly be considered "photographs."

Photoshop's Gradient tools serve a wide variety of purposes for bringing outdoor photos to life by gradually blending colors or opacity. There are various options available for better colors, smoothing transitions and applying creative effects. The rub is that it takes a bit of time to get the adjustments just right.

Spring is here, and summer is right around the corner, so it's time to brush up on your beach photography. Not only are beach photos fun and, potentially, flattering to your subject, they're a great way to share your work on social media. After all, who doesn't get jealous of someone in a swimsuit at the beach?

The new year is finally here and there's no better time than now to push your photography to the next level. The fun video below is a great place to start.
