Chrome effect in Photoshop

Hi.
We all know that we can do just about everything in Photoshop.
Well, not everything, but you know what I mean.
So today I'd like to share how to create a Chrome effect but bare in mind that the settings I use may be different for you, therefore just "play" with the curves to achieve the right effect that works for you.

I hope you like it.

See you next time

Let it rain

Hi.
Sometimes we go out to take some photos and it's raining and we end up either in the pub or back home.
However if think that you have a photo that will be even cooler if it was raining, well, you can try to shhot on the rain, but make sure you protect your camera and lens, as for you, well take a friend to hold an umbrella, or you can create rain in the confort of you home.
To do that just use Photoshop;).
In this video I will show ou exactly how to create rain and darken the photo to give more realism to it.

I hope you like it.

Smart Filters in Photoshop

Hi.

Today I'd like to talk about Smart Filters.
Well, they are there for a few versions of Photoshop but not a lot of people use them.
Some because they don't know what they do, others because they didn't realized the control it will give you while working on Filters.

Personally Everytime I apply a filter to a layer I always convert to Smart filter, as the control over the filter is amazing.But that's just me.

If you haveany more queries about Smart Filters or something else in Photoshop, just let me know.


I hope you like it

Clone Stamp in Photoshop

Hi.

Here is one tool that I find really cool.
The Clone Stamp can help you in many ways and you can also have some fun with it.
The basic of the Clone Stamp is that you sample an area in a foto and then you can replicate the area you sampled in another point of an image or even in another image.

And that is why I've created this tutorial.

I hope you like it

Layer Masks

Hi.
Today I'd like to show you the possibilities of layer masks.

Layer masks can be very useful and the fact that you can blend 2 or more images using layers masks with full control, it's very cool.
When I say full control I not only mean the control over the image, but also that you will be kind of erasing the image but with the control that if you "erase" too much, you can bring it back.

But it's better for you to see for yourself :)

I hope you like it.

See you next time
