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.

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.

Clipping mask

Hi.
Some people are not aware of the power of the clipping masks, or not even know how to use it.
Ok, fair enough, it's not very complicated, and once you know the possibilities, you can create some cool effects, that is why I created this 2 video tutorials to explain a bit what can be done with clipping masks.

For those wondering what I mean with this title, I mean that you can create some cool effects using text and layer masks.
I don't mean creating a text layer and then add a layer mask to create the basic stuff.
In this video I show you another wayto work with layer masks, that can be applied notonly withtext.

Load Presets to Photoshop

Hi.
We all have presets that we used in last versions of Photoshop or that we found all over the internet.
In this video I show exacty how to install them in your new version of Photoshop.
As I mention in the video I would advise to create a folder where you can have your custom brushes, gradients etc.Not only it's easier for you to find as when you backup to an external drive its also easier to find.

I hope you like it.

See you next time
