We've taught you how to quickly remove people and objects from an image, now here's a tutorial on how to easily Photoshop a person into an image with just a few clicks. Led by software guru Colin Smith of photoshopCAFE, the video shows you how to place a person onto a different background.
Many photographers order prints from an outside source, either because they lack a high-quality printer or because the one they own doesn't accommodate large-size paper. In this tutorial from the Remontheroad YouTube channel (think Remi on the Road) you'll learn how to do everything right so the prints you receive do justice to your photographs.
There are many ways to sharpen your images and reduce noise using Lightroom but some are better than others. In fact, some sharpening and noise reduction methods in Lightroom can actually degrade image quality.
One of the first “rules” everyone learns about composition is to avoid having telephone poles growing out of a subject’s head. But what about distracting background elements like power lines or airplane contrails in the sky?
There’s often something in the foreground or background of an image you just want to get rid of. Whether it’s distracting object like a fireplug or a telephone pole, or another person that’s drawing attention away from your subject, wouldn’t your photo look so much better if you could make these things vanish?
This tutorial from the internationally popular PiXimperfect YouTube channel begins with a provocative question: "How do you recover blown-out highlights when you have no data to recover from?" It turns out that what was once impossible is now easily within reach, thanks to the latest mind-blowing features in Photoshop.
We get it. Not every photo you shoot is going to have eye-popping color or attractive dynamic range. But like a lot of things with imaging, you can fix some of your visual mistakes in Photoshop.
Have you ever captured what you thought were great images, only to be disappointed when reviewing them on computer? It’s a rather common occurrence that images don’t look as impressive on a monitor as they did through the viewfinder (or with your naked eye when viewing the scene).
It’s not uncommon to end up with underexposed photos if you don’t carefully compensate for bright light sources in the background of a scene. But mistakes are meant to fixed, not trashed, as you’ll see in the Lightroom tutorial below.
Here’s a typical photo scenario: someone you know has an otherwise attractive portrait which, unfortunately, also includes an ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend in the shot. They want to keep the portrait of them but get rid of the now unwanted dude or gal in the shot. Knowing that you know a little something about Photoshop they come to you to, ahem, retouch the image.
Here's another great "quick fix" feature from Photoshop. In the below video from Phlearn, Photoshopu guru Aaron Nace shows you how to use the Clone Stamp Tool to easily remove anything from an image.
It’s not uncommon to have a distracting object or two in otherwise beautiful outdoor images. Sometimes that’s because you weren’t paying attention, while in other cases there was simply no way to compose the scene without the offending objects in the frame.
Extreme shadows can be the kiss of death for a portrait. While feeling the sun on your face is nice, the effect of harsh shadows and bright highlights can make you look older than you are and tired.
We've taught you how to remove background distractions in Photoshop before but what do you do when there's a complicated object that looks almost impossible to eliminate without ruining your photo? Well, you turn to Photoshop master Unmesh Dinda of PiXimperfect for help, which is what we did with the below tutorial.
Continuing our series on some basic object removal techniques in Photoshop, Colin Smith of photoshopCAFE weighs in again in the below video titled "How to Remove People from a Photo in Photoshop in a Few Clicks."
