Photoshop – Colour lighting and HDR

In this video we take a look at using Replace Color in Photoshop Elements to change a selected colour image in our images. This can be useful if you want an item to stand out or blend-in with elements in your pictures.

In these 4 videos we will take a look at creating a vintage style image, starting in Camera raw and working our way through to the finished image in Photoshop.

In these two videos we first take a look at how we can toning an image and adjust the colours using Camera Raw. Then in the second video we take this a stage further by applying a HDR look to the image in Camera Raw.

Detail and Colour In this video we take a look at how we can change an image by adding more detail and being selective when adjusting the colours

DIY HDR – Blending Exposure In this two part video we take a look at how we can use 3 handheld images to produce an HDR image. Starting in Bridge we start  by looking at the metadata and how we can open the Raw files into Photoshop in layers. Part 2 of the video we look at how we can improve the image further by removing colour cast and correcting the lens distortion.

This a great way to improve tones and depth of colour to your images. In the first part of the video we look at improving the detail in both the shadows and highlights, using the spot healing brush (content aware) to remove distractions before  improve the tonal range of the image. Later in the video we see how the same technique can be used on other image. image |image 2
