tutorials



In the photographic industry, the task of post-processing your images isn't always the easiest one, and can at times seem never-ending.
We have compiled a list of some of the more helpful tutorials from our friends at Adobe, with the intention of making your next editing session a litlle more enjoyable.



Lens Blur

Find out in this tutorial how to make your images pop using the lens blur filter in Adobe Photoshop CS5. 
The lens blur filter adds blur to an image to give the effect of a narrower depth of field so that some objects in the image stay in focus and others areas are blurred. You can use a simple selection to determine which areas are blurred, or you can provide a separate alpha channel depth map to describe exactly how you want the blur added.

HDR Pro

High-dynamic-range photographs can be achieved by capturing multiple standard photographs, often using exposure bracketing, and then merging them into an HDR image using Adobe Photoshop CS5 HDR Pro.
