In “Exploring Editing” you’ll find a variety of Workshop recordings that dive deeply into some of my processes.
Beneath, you’ll find smaller “bite-sized” lessons on more specific skills, with more being added regularly.
Is there a particular editing skill, technique or tool you’d love to see covered here? Let me know!
Planned and Upcoming Editing Toolboxes (not in order):
Not sure how to structure your layers in PS? Don't know when to hide layers, where to put your clone-stamp layers, when to smoosh layers, or why any of it matters? This is a Whiteboard from Canva (and/or PDF) to help you structure your workflow depending on what you want to do & what you've already done.
🥸 (all - with some PS knowledge) Curves adjustment layers! My favourite editing tool when it comes to light and dark tones in the image! Learn all about curves, how and why to use them.
(int/adv) Learn how to copy & move parts of the background, use the clone stamp, healing spot, content aware fill, content aware crop, and content aware scale tools.
In this workshop, we're going to learn not only HOW to Shape Light, but also WHEN, and WHY. Best suited for INT/ADV students.
Learn not only multiple tools to change the colours of your photos, but also looking into colour theory, and WHY you might want to make certain colour changes (and when not!)
Tips and tricks for working on eyes, particularly in Photoshop (there's a separate lesson for eyes in LR). Includes a downloadable High-pass action, and goes through the process for editing very dark brown eyes to get them lighter and with more colour, while staying natural
[all] If you chop your dog's feet off, don't give them enough space to look into, or if they suddenly look in an unexpected direction, don't despair! This lesson is for you to fix those composition issues ON LOCATION, as well as how to use this technique once home.
Learn how to easily remove a person/handler from a photo using other photos taken at the scene, and simple masking techniques in Photoshop.
If you've taken a snowy winter's photo but want it to feel even more wintery, or you feel like it's a bit "empty", adding a snow overlay or using some snow brushes could be a way to "fill in" the image a bit. This lesson will show you how to use a snow brush to add some falling snow to your photos.
[int/adv] Winter means a lot of dull, grey, boring skies. In this quick lesson I show you a few tools to "spice up" your sky or bokeh to give it a golden backlit effect.
In this lesson, I show you (pretty much) every single possible tool and technique in Lightroom and Photoshop that you can use to change colours, and discuss when you might want to use them (or not).
Image SOS on 3 images: Patchy highlights in background & on the dog, extreme shade on face, fixing composition, fixing blown out highlights
In this Image SOS we fix several images, especially the composition, by copying & flipping the background, cloning, and adding leafy overlays to hide not-so-great perspective, give some more depth to the image, and so on. Duration: 30 minutes
In this Editing Toolbox, we take a photo from the Christmas markets, taken at ISO 5000 and a bit under-exposed. I discuss noise, when it matters, lighten up the image to bring out some more noise, and then apply my favourite denoise tool in Lightroom, and test out Topaz Denoise. Duration: 25 minutes
