How To Use The History Log in Photoshop – I Create Content #12

Good afternoon everyone! It’s a late day post today, as I’m FRANTICALLY trying to get stuff done before I fly out tomorrow. I will be in Lexington, KY for PhotoPro Summer School with the amazing David Ziser, talented Kevin Ames & local phenomenon Lynn Michelle. Looking forward to taking the stage with the folks I admire, and sharing some cool Lightroom & Photoshop tips with PPA members.

After this weekend, it’s off to Kansas City, MO for the D2W conference. I’ve already listed the Top Five Reasons you should be there, and I can only imagine the antics that will ensue on that trip.

Today’s quick tip is how to manage metadata in Photoshop PSD files. A useful item for tracking the changes you’ve made to project files over time. Check it out!

Understanding Blend Modes in Photoshop – I Create Content #11

Thanks for joining me on today’s show. In this episode, I’m responding to questions from our Facebook fans. Rick Seibert from Seibershots Photography wants to know a little bit more about blending modes in Photoshop. I believe the best way to understand blend modes is to see them in action. Check it in the video. For a full description of each blend mode you can read the Photoshop help file.

Remember, I read all your comments here on the blog, on my Facebook page & posts on Twitter. Keep the questions coming, and I’ll keep making videos.

If you want to know more about the keyboard shortcuts used in today’s video check out my Keyboard Shortcuts segment on YouTube.
