Paperclipping 82 – Fix Bad Photo Lighting

Paperclipping 82 - Fix Bad Photo Lighting

Now that the holidays are over, you’re probably looking through your photos and preparing to scrapbook them. Some of you are doing the Photo-A-Day project for 2009–Project 365 (you can join the group for this project in our new community, The Crop Circle)–which means that you’re taking, and possibly editing, at least one photo daily. I think it’s a great time for a tutorial on editing photos.

About This Episode

Today’s episode will help you deal with photos that have lighting problems. It demonstrates the use of the Level Adjustment Function that you’ll find on any good photo editing system. There is detailed general instruction on how to use levels and why they are so important for good photo editing in Episode 34 – Working With Levels. Paperclipping Members can find this episode in the archives. Today we’re dealing specifically with lighting issues, though, and I think you’ll find this an invaluable tool for getting better photos.

This video is for members only. If you would like to find out how to get a membership so that you can have access to the archives to watch previous episodes like #34, please check out the Membership Information Page.

Paperclipping 72 QT-Vignettes
We released today’s Quick Tip on adding vignettes to your photos. In this video, I show how to do it in in two different types of editing software: Aperture and Photoshop. So, even if you have totally different editing software, you should be able to figure out how to do it, having seen it in Aperture and Photoshop.

Today’s Quick Tip is for Members, so if you would like to have access to this video, and all the others, click here to find out how other people are watching them. ;)

Paperclipping 65 – Customize Your Overlays In Photoshop

Monday, October 27th, 2008

In today’s video tutorial, I show you step-by-step how to open up an overlay in Photoshop, resize it to meet your needs, and use it like a journaling box for your text. If you have Photoshop Elements, don’t worry–you can do all the same things in Elements.

This video is available to members only. Learn about a membership here.

For my example in the tutorial, I used an Ali Edwards photo overlay, which was a major part of my Week In The Life album. Here are two of the pages from my album using the overlay concept from the tutorial…
