His name is Canyon. Honestly, that's his real name. Is it any surprise that you would find him down here?

Importing from a memory card with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom video tutorial now online

"Importing" means adding new images into your Lightroom Catalog. This is a critical step, and it is one of the first tasks that you will do with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. I recently published an article and created a new video tutorial on this important process. Follow this link to see the article and the movie.

Graduated Filters and Content-Aware Scaling Tutorial

I just released a new "behind-the scenes" video over at www.thelightroomlab.com in which I turn an original raw capture into a nice polished photograph using super-cool features of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop CS4. In my new movie, I use Graduated filters in Lightroom's Develop Module, and I use Content-Aware Scaling in Photoshop CS4 to create a much improved image.





Click here to see the video on how I went from the image on the left to the one on the right.

The Content-Aware Scaling trick that I demonstrate in this tutorial is a trick that I learned from Photoshop master Mark S. Johnson's new Photographer's Photoshop CS4 Companion Ebook.
I've been working my way through Mark's book all month and I am learning a ton of amazing new techniques!
