Photoshop Tutorial: Remove a Timestamp from a Photo!

01 Aug

FULL VIDEO: www.tutvid.com This video was somehow automatically shortened by Youtube in Feb. of 2009. Instead of taking it down I decided to simply include a link to the full video on tutvid.com. If you have done a lot of Photography you probably have accidentally left the timestamp feature of yours (or somebody else’s!) Camera on, or maybe didn’t realize it was on. Whatever the case the results are the same, that horrible, horrible timestamp that plasters itself across a corner of you image. By the end of this Tutorial you will know how to remove that using several of Photoshop’s Retouching tools. Enjoy! Please check out www.tutvid.com for more, free video tutorials as well as downloads!

With Apologies to Zack Arias…

01 Aug

So, you remember when we talked last week about making the small, black portrait flat? This was the real reason I wanted to experiment with it.

The goal was to see if I could accomplish a particular look with just one light. And note I didn't say OneLight®, 'cause I'm assuming that is patented or something. Zack's black choppers would find me, rendition me to the ATL and throw me in a cell long enough to grow a ZZ Top beard.

But not having a 60" umbrella on me, I could hardly do the Zack thing anyway. Besides, I wanted to approach this headshot of Antonio Beverly as if he were a chunk of glassware… Read more »

Let’s Talk About Knockoffs in the Photo Industry.

01 Aug

The "borrowing of designs" has always been a part of the photo gear industry. But lately, it has spread to the point where it is much more ubiquitous—including by companies who previously would not have been caught dead knocking off another company's gear.

The imitations are usually cheaper. (Otherwise why bother, right?) But for for photographers who are presumably sensitive to intellectual property rights, this gets a little more complex.
