Photo Editing: Adobe Photoshop Tutorials and Other Photo Tips

Just a quick update on another selection method. There are lots of fancy shapes available, and good for use in creating digital photo frames among other things.

Selection and Selective Editing with Magnetic Lasso Tool

The magnetic lasso tool is very similar to the other lasso tools covered in the previous tutorial, so I won't be repeating what's already covered there. Fun to play with, and definitely a time-saver if you're doing drafts, but other than that, not a whole lot of use once you've mastered the more advanced selection tools...

Creative Commons: Share, Re-Mix, and Re-Use Legally

Hi guys, I know you were probably expecting a selection tutorial today. I spent the last couple of days attending a workshop conducted by EngageMedia though, and as useful as a selection tutorial would be, they introduced something that I think you would be even more interested in - Creative Commons.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could find things like other images, videos, or especially music, to go along with ours without worry of being sued? And best of all, use it with the knowledge that the person behind the photos / music that we like so much is happy to share what their time and hard work has created with us?

Maybe it isn't as hard as you think.

Services Available

Photo Editing

If you don't have time to do your own photo editing, or if it's just not your cup of tea, I also provide photo editing and retouching services.

Photoshop Lessons

Do you want someone around to load all the "why" questions on as you think of them? Do you prefer to have someone around to troubleshoot and spot mistakes that may not be noticed when learning online?

I am familiar with multiple ways to do the same thing, so if one method doesn't work in your version of Photoshop, in most cases, I can recommend another.

Just contact me for more details.

Sticky Note

No matter what some may claim, there really isn't any one true or right way to do something in Photoshop, or most anywhere else for that matter. The important thing to remember is... you have a mind. Use it.
