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!
