2 We Are Three
3 The Complexities
of Bubbles
By Vicki-Lea Boulter
Using Photoshop CC
My creative
portraiture is
about capturing
the very essence
of a persons character
revealing the story they
wish to show to the outside
world. For me, making
these images is a way
of communicating, and
expressing myself and
my ideas.

Stress is an excellent
demonstration of the benefits of
shooting with consistent angles
and lighting for compositing

We delve deeper into Camera Raw than ever before to find the
hidden delights, handy tricks and little-known features that will
help to give your raw images the edge
WORKFLOW TIPS
AND AFTER VIEWS
01 BEFORE
The buttons in the bottom right corner of the
image display give you a set of useful preview options
for comparing the before and after of your edits. The
left icon that looks like a Y gives you different splitscreen before/after views, such as horizontal or vertical
comparisons and splits (hold your mouse button down
on the icon to choose from the list, or click to toggle
between each). The second and third icons enable you
to toggle between before and after settings.
03
CACHE SIZE
If youre in the
habit of bringing lots
of images into Camera
Raw at once, you might
notice that the images
take a second or two to
display, in which case
increase the cache
size in the Preferences
menu. The larger the
size, the greater the
number of image
previews ACR can hold.
02
SCRUBBY ZOOMING
04 SYNC
SETTINGS
When several
images are opened
together in Camera
Raw, you can edit
them all at once in
two different ways.
Either select
several in the
filmstrip by Cmd/
Ctrl-clicking them,
and then begin your
edits. Alternatively,
edit a single image
first, then select several and use the Sync settings option in the top-left drop-down menu.
This second option has the added benefit that you can choose exactly which edits are
synced useful if, for example, you need to batch-fix a recurring sensor mark, but leave
the other settings untouched.

SAVE ADJUSTMENTS
If you find that you make a similar adjustment lots of times, then save time by
storing the adjustment as a New Local Adjustment Setting in the flyout menu at the top
right of the Adjustment Brush settings. When you want to make the same edit, choose
the adjustment from the menu to quickly load up the brush with the right settings.

For soft, silky skin
in seconds, grab the
Adjustment Brush,

next to the Clarity
slider on the right
to dial in negative
Clarity to about -50,
then paint over the
skin, being careful
not to go over areas
of detail like the
eyes and lips.
24
QUICK
VIGNETTE
Cmd/Ctrl-double
click with the Radial
Filter tool to add a
circular blend that

This is perfect for
quickly adding
vignette effects
to the corners of
your pictures.

26 FEATHER
When using the
Adjustment Brush, press ] or
[ to resize the brush tip, and
Shift+] or [ to adjust the size
of the feathering around the
brush tip.
A CIRCLE
27 SHIFT
While dragging a circle
with the Radial Filter tool,
holding down the space bar
will allow you to shift its
position while you drag.
A MASK
28 ERASE
Hold Alt while painting
with the Adjustment Brush
to erase parts of a mask.
29 AUTO-MASK
The Adjustment Brush Auto-Mask feature
transforms the brush by making it seek out and snap
on to colours that are similar to the first colour you click
when using it, making it much easier to isolate objects
and shapes for adjustment.
SETTINGS TIPS
THE OLD FILL LIGHT SLIDER
30 USE
If you find the Basic panels Shadows slider
just isnt lifting your shadows as much as youd like,
then theres a hidden cheat you can use. Go to the
Camera Calibration panel and change the Process
version to 2010, then go back to the Basic panel,
and youll find the Fill Light slider. For some reason,
the old Fill Light slider is more extreme than the
Shadows slider that replaced it.
32
INTERACTIVE
HISTOGRAM
The histogram is
interactive, so you
can drag different
parts of the graph to
adjust those areas
of the tonal range,
from the blacks on
the left to the whites
on the right useful
both for fine-tuning
tones, and also for
understanding how
histograms work.
31
CHECK FOR
CLIPPED PIXELS
33
Often we dont want to sharpen all of our images, just the areas of detail. After
applying sharpening in the Detail panel, hold Alt and drag the Masking slider. The black
areas that appear will be excluded from the sharpening effect.

SPLIT-TONE COLOURS
34 PREVIEW
When using the Hue sliders in the Split Tone panel to add
tints, hold Alt while dragging to preview the colour at 100%.
This makes it easier to judge the colour first.
The Camera
Calibration panel
can be a useful first
stop in the editing
process. Try different
camera profiles to
change the look of
tones and colours.
PORTRAITS
37 DESATURATE
If you want to give your portraits
HAZE TO LANDSCAPES
39 ADD
Found in the FX panel, the new Dehaze command enables you to cut through
atmospheric haze in your landscape scenes, but it also does a great job when used
in reverse to add haziness to scenes. This is useful when you want to add a dreamy
atmosphere to your landscapes.
OUTPUT TIPS
PROOF FOR PRINTING
40 SOFT
The workflow options (accessible via the blue link below
the image) not only enable you to choose a colour space, but
also to soft-proof your image by displaying different ICC print
profiles in the Color Space options. You can also choose to
simulate the paper and ink youre using to get a more accurate
idea of how your print will look.

16-BIT
TIFFS
If youre planning
on taking the
photograph further
with heavy editing
in Photoshop, and
you want the best

Pull detail out of your raw files by processing them several times
Multi-processing raw files
is a great way to squeeze
extra detail out of landscapes and
high-contrast scenes. All you do
is process the image a number of
times, focusing on different areas
such as land or sky then blend
them together in Photoshop. This
gives us the best of both worlds.

PHOTOSHOP
CC
8.78/$9.99 PER MONTH WINDOWS, OS X
Photoshop is the software of choice for most professional
and non-professional photographers. Beyond the standard
photo-editing features, it boasts a vast array of more
creative tools and filters. Layers are one of the key differences
between Photoshop and Lightroom. They enable you to mask out
selected parts to build up increasingly sophisticated images.
Lightroom combines
the professional rawprocessing tools in the
more expensive Photoshop
CC with the asset-organising
powers of the cheaper
Photoshop Elements.
Lightroom is available as
a traditional boxed copy
(Lightroom 6), and as part of
a Creative Cloud subscription
(Lightroom CC). Essentially,
the applications are the same,
except Lightroom CC has
Creative Cloud support, ongoing
updates, and access to the
mobile and web workflows.
LIGHTROOM MOBILE
INCLUDED WITH CREATIVE CLOUD
IPHONE, IPAD, ANDROID
Lightroom Mobile is
the lightweight iPad,
iPhone and Android
version of the application,
integrated with Lightroom CC
but not Lightroom 6. To use
Lightroom Mobile you need
to sign up for an Adobe ID so
that you can access the Adobe
Creative Cloud. This enables
you to create a collection of
photos on your desktop copy
of Lightroom and sync them via
the Creative Cloud to Lightroom
Mobile on your portable
devices. You can then use
Lightroom Mobile to edit or add
ratings to your pictures.

MIX
FREE IPAD, ANDROID
Mix enables you to merge two photos together
to create a composite image. It offers a simplified
compositing process that makes it easy for beginners
to start combining an object from one image with a background
from another. You can then send the composite to Photoshop
for further edits. If you like you can also use Mix to edit a single
image. It offers a few simple tonal adjustments and more
complex edits such as Content-Aware Fill.
ADOBE COLOR
FREE IPHONE, IPAD, ANDROID
If you ever need help
selecting coordinated colours
for your designs, try using
Adobe Color. It enables you to create
colour themes from photos taken
on your mobile device. This could be
anything from a scene in your local
park to a famous painting. So if you
come across an inspirational scene,
capture the colours and save them.
ADOBE BRUSH
FREE
IPHONE, IPAD, ANDROID
Adobe Brush enables
you to make your
own custom brushes
from photos or sketches for
use in Photoshop, Illustrator
or the Sketch app. The most
successful subjects are usually
those that can be easily
isolated, such as a splash
against white, or a leaf against
the sky. You can capture objects
for your brush tips using your
devices camera, choose from
your camera roll, or use your
Creative Cloud library. Once
captured, you can then finetune the look of the tip and
apply brush settings.

SKETCH
FREE IPAD
As the name suggests, this app enables you to paint
freehand using a selection of brushes, colours and
other tools. However, Sketch is more than just a
painting app. It also enables you to connect with like-minded
creatives, so you can follow artists and see their work updating.
Once youre done sketching the image on your iPad, you can
upload to the Sketch community or continue working on the
image in Photoshop CC. You can also bring in brushes made
with Adobe Brush, and for those who cant paint, theres an
option to overlay images so you can trace over a photo. Sketch
is compatible with Adobes pen and ruler hardware, Ink and
Slide, but you can get great results with your finger.
ADOBE SLATE
FREE IPAD
Slate enables you
to create visual
presentations
by making it easy to bring
together words and images
in interesting ways. It offers
a selection of themes and fonts that will give your story the look
of a magazine without the need for advanced design tools.
If youre a designer
who wants to build
a quick layout for a
web or print page, then Comp is
the ideal place to start piecing
ideas, images and text together.
You can draw common design
elements such as text or image
boxes with quick gestures. For
example, a couple of squiggly
lines with a dot makes a
header, and a cross makes an
image box. It makes it easy to
mock up a layout in seconds.
You can then add words and
graphics. The app even spits
out a Photoshop, Illustrator or
InDesign document.
