Photoshop Tutorial - Advanced Cropping an Image

This video is available with a Free Membership Account.
Running Time: 8 minutes

This Adobe Photoshop tutorial goes over advanced Cropping an image. Please do NOT dismiss this video because the topic is basic information for beginners. This video is NOT for beginners. Back in Adobe Photoshop CS4, they added many new features to the Crop Tool. Like most people, I just ignored all the changes. The most important change was the difference between Delete and Hide options. If you have never used the Hide option, then you need to watch this video, as it will change the way you crop images. I also cover several other tricks that you likely did not know about.

Please Note: In CS6, they split the Crop tool, into two separate tools. The basic function remains the same, but since no one knew the one Crop tool did all

Photoshop Tutorial – Spotting Images

Adobe Photoshop Tutorial - Spotting Images

This video is available Free for Everyone.
Running Time: 5 minutes

This Adobe Photoshop tutorial describes what spotting images means, and how to do it. In short, spotting simply means that you are going to remove any extra dust spots, or other very quick dirt removal. While it usually means dust from the camera lens, it could also mean quickly removing any other sort of blemishes from the picture, like lint on clothing or freckles. Again, the real key is that it is quick, and usually takes less than 10 minutes, and less than 5 minutes is even better.

Ideally, this would be the very first thing done to an image, before any other sort of retouching is done. All you need to do is create a new layer, select one of the cloning tools, and begin removing anything that doesn't belong. Spotting Images should be done for every picture you start working on.

Photoshop Tutorial - CS5 Preference Settings

This video is available with a Free Membership Account.
Running Time: 15 minutes

This Adobe Photoshop tutorial goes through the preferences panel, and points out the most important settings that need changing. There is also a healthy dose of sarcasm, and bitter spite for all the unnecessary clutter that Adobe has introduced over the years. I am not saying that this is the most informative Photoshop Tutorial I have ever made, but the masochists in the audience will love it. Fans of "You Suck at Photoshop" will feel right at home.

Photoshop Cloning - How to Clone with High Pass and Low Pass Frequency Separation

This video is available Free for Everyone.
Running Time: 9 minutes

This Adobe Photoshop Cloning Tutorial is about the High Pass and Low Pass Frequency Separation method of cloning. We covered many different topics in our Photoshop Extended Cloning Video Tutorial, but we wanted to give you this advanced way to clone, as a sample of the content you can find in the full video.

If you use the Clone Stamp Tool, Healing Brush, or Spot Healing Brush straight onto a layer, you are making an exact clone with little control over the fine details. If you approach your clone with a High Pass Layer for texture, and a Low Pass layer for color and tone, you greatly increase your ability to soften or remove skin blemishes, facial hair, and even pores, without a dreaded repeating pattern.
