Adjustment Layers | Photoshop Basic Tutorial

August 25, 2013 by John Ross

Photoshop Tutorial - Adjustment Layers

This video is available Free for Everyone.
Running Time: 6 minutes

In this digital world we live in, you see the ubiquitous JPEG everywhere—practically all images you can find online are in this format. Short for Joint Photographic Experts Group, JPEG pictures are compressed images that have the .jpg file extension. Basically, JPEGs or JPGs compress images in order to make their file sizes smaller.

The most annoying thing about sending files and pictures online or via email, is to find that your file attachments are too big; and we wouldn’t want that now, would we? Waiting all that time trying to send over files only to have them rejected due to file size…JPGs solve that issue by reducing image file sizes so that they don’t take up too much space, be it in your hard drive or USB or in your camera.

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 seprate tools. The basic function remains the same, but since no one knew the one Crop tool did all

Spotting Images | Photoshop Basic Tutorial

July 8, 2011 by John Ross

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.
