I need to confess. I’ve committed grievous sins. I’ve used Photoshop to modify the physical appearance of the exterior of a home we are going to put on the market this week. Not just once but twice. The evidence is in the comparison photo to the right.
This all started when my wife Levi […]

Wall Street Journal also has an article on the new product.I finally got to use Photoshop Express. Turns out the site doesn’t seem to work quite right when I use Firefox on my […]

Jerry Swanson of Eagan, MN says: “… use the Canon 1Ds with Aperture. After ten months I still have not learned all the features. The Apple Store has experts to teach the program but one hour a week is not great. …I have been using Aperture and have found this a long learning experience.”

It’s time to do another post on replacement skies. I put it up a page of free skies to use back in March of last year. However, the link is so buried in a long list of links on the right hand side-bar of the blog and I doubt if many people notice it. There’s […]

I spent the day yesterday (Monday 11/12) and I am excited about passing on several ideas that I picked up. The most exciting is that Dave Cross (the instructor from Kelby Training) talked about bracketing using camera raw which is something I’ve talked about briefly in a couple of previous posts. The idea is that […]
