If your like me, you sometimes have a great picture which from no fault of your own is a bit fuzzy. I have some great pictures but they never look as good as when you were there! Sharpening images is always a painful process, because you never get them the way you saw them. Using the sharpen filters kind of works but never brilliantly. Well, there is a better way which this video will explain. Using the “High Pass” filter can perform nothing short of miracles. Within 6 minutes you will be able to control how much sharpness you put on an image. This and many more videos can be seen at PCTeach.me

Lightroom 2.0 Better Sharpening Control


Image by Thomas Hawk
Adobe’s Lightroom 2.0, which launched today represents a major breakthrough in the field of digital photo processing. I’ve only just begun to play with the software today, but it is clear that Lightroom 2.0 will be my new imaging software of choice. Prior to using Lightroom 2.0 I did my photo processing using Adobe’s Bridge and Photoshop. Lightroom represents a significant leap forward in the power of processing digital photographs. I thought I’d write up a post documenting my 10 new favorite processing tools that Lightroom 2.0 brings to the table.

1. Selective area processing of RAW files. When using Adobe’s Camera RAW to process in the past, an image was an all or none, take it or leave it, proposition. Yes, you could increase the exposure and contrast on a shot, but you had to increase the exposure and contrast for *the entire* shot. Frequently when processing photos you want more control than that. For example, sometimes you might have a shot perfectly exposed except for the eyes in a portrait which are too dark. With Lightroom 2.0 you can now control all of the basic RAW tools (exposure, brightness, contrast, saturation, clarity, sharpening and custom toning) using brushes or masks to highlight specific areas of a photo.

2. Vignette Cropped Photos. I’m a vignette junkie. Vignette is the area around the edge of your photos that is sometimes dark, sometimes light. A lot of vignetting occurs naturally in my Canon 5D — especially with the large sensor. Sometimes I like to process a photo perfectly and take this vignette out of my photograph. Other times though I like to add a varying amount of vignetting in or even reverse it out creating a more over exposed edge to my photograph. In the past Adobe Camera RAW could control vignette, but only for the image loaded. If you wanted to crop that image there was no way to control vignette for that specific crop. Now with Lightroom 2.0 you can apply a crop to an image and then adjust your vignetting control after the fact on the new crop.

There is also a new "roundness" slider for vignetting control which enables the ability to give your photos a more rough vignette look vs. a more even or controlled vignette alignment.

3. Keyword recommendations. One of the ways to make your photos more discoverable on sites like Flickr and Zooomr is to add tags or keywords to your photos. You might tag a photo of the Golden Gate Bridge for instance "Golden Gate Bridge" and "bridge" and "San Francisco" and "night" and "California" etc. But frequently there are tags that you don’t immediately think of. For instance, if you tag a photo of your dog "dog," maybe the tag "black labrador" would be another good tag. And maybe another one might just be "black lab." With Lightroom 2.0 Lightroom analyzes other tags that you have used with your photos to offer up suggested or recommended tags that you might use. Especially if you hope to offer your photos for sale through stock photography agencies, these descriptive keywords are very important meta data. By learning about your past tags, Lightroom is smarter and suggests tags that you might want to add to your photos as you tag and process them.

4. Better Photo Sharpening Tools. One of the nice things in Lightroom 2.0 is that you have much better tools for sharpening your photos than you did previously. I especially like the way that as you sharpen your photos (or parts of your photos) you can see a fine detail view of the sharpening work. This helps ensure that you don’t overdo your sharpening for high resolution views.

5. Healing Brush tools. One of the things that I hated about my old processing system was that I could not use a healing brush inside of Adobe Camera RAW. A healing brush is used to take out little imperfections in a photo. Large sensor digital cameras are notorious for getting dust spots on their sensors. You see these spots most visibly in your photographers when you are shooting at small (high number) aperture settings. These annoying little dust spots have ruined many a great photo. In the past I would need to manually bring these photos into Photoshop to use the healing brush to clean up these spots. Now this can be done within Lightroom itself. The healing brush approximates an area of the photo immediately near the spot that you’d like to heal and blends that area into the spot. This also works great when you have that perfect photograph of your kid with just a dab of peanut butter on his face.

6. Enhanced Printing Tools. I love how Lightroom 2.0 handles printing your photos. With Lightroom 2.0 you can easily arrange multiple photos on a page with preset sizes. You can adjust the layout of the page into multiple columns or custom sizes for different photos. By providing enhanced layout options for printing, Lightroom allows you to use your printable photo paper space more intelligently and makes printing your photos at home easier than ever. I’ve got some large printing projects that I’m working on for a couple of collage pieces I’ve been meaning to do for a while and this tool will be very helpful when it comes time to print out a bunch of custom sized prints.

7. Support for custom camera color profiles and improved color photo processing from Adobe. One of the complaints that people have made about Adobe color processing in the past has to do with how it handles some colors. Specifically reds in photographs processed on Adobe’s software have sometimes lacked the big vibrancy that reds should have coming out a tad more orangish in some cases than reds. With Lightroom 2.0 Adobe has improved both their own color processing technology, but they have also added support for specific camera profiles. When you look at a photo on your camera’s LCD you are actually looking at a JPG interpretation of the photo that you just took. Frequently people will tell me that the colors that they see on their camera LCD are different than what they get when they take the photo home and try to process it.

With Lightroom 2.0 you can use either Adobe’s new and improved color profiling system (which does a much better job at interpreting vivid reds) or you can tell Adobe to bypass their own color profiling system and use the actual color profiling system that is inside your camera.

8. Smart Collections. Smart collections (like SmartSets on Zooomr and the SmartSetr application for Flickr) make sense. Frequently you will find yourself wanting to organize batches of your photos for various reasons. Lets say you want to see all photos of your daughter taken this year, or all photos of your daughter tagged with birthday, or a photo of all of your neon photographs taken in 2008. Whatever the case may be, you can build Smart Collections with Lightroom 2.0 to easily analyze and arrange your photos and allow you to better find and sort your work.

9. Smarter cropping and angling tools that show you a rotated view as you work. In the previous version of Bridge/Camera RAW that I used to process my photos, when you cropped an image and then rotated the crop you had to kind of turn your head sideways to visualize what you get. Now Lightroom 2.0 rotates the underlying image showing you a straightened version of what your new rotated and cropped photo will look like directly as you do this work.

10. Metadata SDK for custom metadata. The Metadata SDK that is being released with Lightroom is interesting. I’m not sure on any actual application for the SDK today but it is promising that by opening up this SDK to developers that there may be fantastic ways that we can use the metadata on our photographs in the future.

One of the things personally that I’d like to see develop over time would be a way that the social metadata that is added to your photographs can be reapplied to local copies. One of the nice things about online photo communities is that they encourage engagement with your photos. Many people on Flickr, for instance, have added additional tags and keywords to my photos online. At present there is no easy way to apply these added social tags to my existing photos. I’m hopeful that with Adobe’s new Metadata SDK that we might see some of these types of applications develop in the future.

I also think one of the first metadata enhancements that this SDK might make available would be some sort of geotagging add on.

There are lots of other enhancements to Lightroom 2.0 that I did not mention in this article. Probably the two biggest are that Lightroom can now support dual monitors and it can run natively in 64 bit on both Macs and PCs for added performance.

Photoshop Video Demonstrations – Instructions And Better Idea On How To Use The Photoshop CS3 Interface

The Photoshop CS3 interface is very user friendly and has many customizable features in it. This makes the user at ease while working with the product. You can customize the workspace and organize the tools which you use very often so that you have easy access to it and working on the tool becomes a wonderful experience.

If you are using CS2, you can upgrade to CS3 as it has many better and enhanced features incorporated. There are many Photoshop Video Demonstrations available on the web giving you instructions on how to use the Photoshop CS3 interface. If you have been using the previous versions, then using CS3 interface would not be any difficult to you.

In CS3 interface you use floating palettes or dock them together to a side when not in use. The palettes can be grouped together and you can make multiple palettes for easy working. If you feel that these docks are taking up much of the workspace, just collapse them down. Expand them only when you need them so that you get ample of workspace for your images or videos. And if you feel that your current work does not need the docks, you can hide all of them by using the Shift+Tab keys on your keyboard. To make them re-appear, just move your mouse over to the area where the palettes were before hiding them.

The Maximize Screen Mode is a useful feature in the CS3. With the help of this feature, your working window gets resized automatically as and when you expand or collapse your customized palette. So you do not have to go and manually maximize or minimize the screen, thus giving you more time to concentrate on your work.

CS3 works well on Intel Mac and Windows. The Layers palette, you can collapse it down to a small box. And when you hit the Tab key, the palette is back on the screen. And the F key is another useful shortcut in the CS3. Using this key you can juggle between the full screen views.

In Adobe Photoshop CS3 you have some new features like the enhanced Vanishing Point and Live Filter. Using Adobe Bridge you can organize and manage all your files and folders well. There are many tutorials available on the web as well as with the product which gives you a better idea of how to use Photoshop CS3 interface.

These tutorials for Adobe Photoshop will contain tips and shortcuts which can save lot of time and energy while you work. You can also view the video tutorials on the web for better understanding of the working tips. The shortcuts can be better understood when you use the video tutorials. Also when selecting your tutorial, be sure of the type of tutorial you choose. If you are a fresher on Photoshop CS3 opt for the beginner’s tutorial. Instead, if you choose the advanced tutorial you may not be able to understand the interface well as many basic functions will be missed out in the advanced tutorial.

5 Quick & Dirty Tips For Using Microsoft FrontPage To Make Better Looking Websites

Building professional looking websites can definitely be challenging.

While anyone in the world can learn the basics of html and get an operational site up and running on the internet, making a site that looks attractive can be another story altogether!

The internet abounds with cheap-looking mom and pop sites that look like they were designed by a first year html student.

Do you want your web sites to look like that?

I hope not. Especially when it is so gosh-darn easy to make your sites look more professional using Microsoft FrontPage.

Here are 5 ways FrontPage can instantly make your websites look more professional.

High Quality Photos And Clipart Collection – Few people actually know how great the Microsoft Clipart collection is. This collection of images is created and maintained by one of the richest corporations in the world. It absolutely crushes any other collection I’ve seen on the internet in terms of quantity and quality of available pictures.

Best part…It’s free for FrontPage owners!

There are over a million clipart pictures and photos, all searchable by keyword.

And if you have an active internet connection, you can search this online gallery from within FrontPage while you work.

Adding some original looking, nice photographs to each page of your site can instantly take up space, add a professional look. This is better than simply having the affiliate link.

The Interactive Button Features – In Microsoft FrontPage 2003, there is a new feature called ‘Interactive Buttons’.

Basically, you can choose from over 200 different types of ready-made buttons to use on your website. These buttons look fantastic and can be created and edited with 1 click.

Before you would have to pay a graphic designer or spend hours creating these types of rollover buttons yourself, but FrontPage 2003 does it all for you.

Using these buttons can add a big dose of professional looks to your site in a matter of seconds.

Using HTML Tables – It goes without saying that the content of your webpages should usually be placed in some sort of html table. FrontPage makes it easy to create tables and add content, simply by using a button on the toolbar.

You can use this to center the content on your page and create neat looking tables once you get the hang of it (it is easy). This way, your content isn’t scattered all around the page.

Included Content – This feature of FrontPage allows you to make changes to hundreds of webpages, simply by changing the content of one html page. For example, I mentioned above that you should use the interactive buttons feature to create a navigation system. You can also ‘include’ this navigation system on all of your webpages with a special feature in FrontPage.

This way, if you want to add another category or link to all of the pages on your site, you simply need to open up one webpage, the ‘navigation.htm’ page, and change the contents of that page.

The changes will immediately be reflected on hundreds of pages on your website.

You can see this is 10,000x more easy than going through and manually editing the links bar on each page!

Web Forms – Using the web forms feature of FrontPage, you can create a feedback form for your website. Not only do these forms look nice, but they also can help you to alleviate your spam problems.

Many a webmaster has paid extravagant fees to other companies for form processing, when it has been available to FrontPage users free and easy for years.

You can create any kind of feedback form in a matter of minutes, and have the results of the form submission sent to any email address that you choose.

To conclude:

I have just given you 5 very valuable tools for creating professional looking websites fast.

While it may not sound like much, consider this:

Let’s say you spend and get a nice looking banner graphic for your new affiliate website.

Then you create a neat html table, past in the banner, and use the interactive buttons feature of FrontPage 2003 to create a navigation system.

You can use the same general template for each new page you create (for articles, and other information about the product you are promoting).

After that, you top each page off with a nice looking photo or two from the Microsoft Clipart collection.

Using these basic techniques, in only an hour or 2 you can easily put together a professional looking website site.

First, we’re specialists in CD-ROM and DVD-based computer training courses. We’ve been in this market for long enough to know what works – and what doesn’t.

Second, our tutorials are led by experts in Adobe rather than self-taught geeks. They’re also expert at communicating their message clearly and in an easy-to-understand way, not boffins addicted to jargon.

Download gimp or paint.net if you don’t actually need photoshop.
These are open source versions (open source is free as in free beer and free as in freedom) which are perfect for a casual user.
