Adobe Photoshop CC for Photographers - Free PDF
MAY 22, 2013

Learn Photoshop from a renowned professional photographer and Photoshop Hall-of-Famer who actually works in the industry and doesn’t just write about itAdobe Photoshop CC for Photographers — a professional image editor's guide to the creative use of Photoshop for the Macintosh and PC, by Martin Evening. (Download the free PDF here) Learn Photoshop from a renowned professional photographer and Photoshop Hall-of-Famer who actually works in the industry and doesn’t just write about it.

This bestseller has been fully updated, is packed with professional examples, step-by-step tutorials, and 750+ color images. The accompanying website features sample images, tutorial videos, and more. Download the free PDF here.
From the intro:

SHAKE REDUCTION FILTER
At the Adobe Max show in 2011, there was a sneak preview of a new ‘de-blurring’ plug-in that generated a lot of excitement. I think Adobe themselves were caught by surprise at the amount of interest and speculation this created and if anything had to downplay expectations. Well, that filter has now arrived in Photoshop. What it does is correct the camera shake in a captured photo rather than work out how to refocus an out of-focus image. The way it does this is to interpret the image and look for signs of camera shake, and in particular, clues to the path that a camera moved during an exposure.

For example, this will be most apparent in sharp pin-point areas such as catch lights in the eyes. From this the Stabilize plugin is able to calculate a camera shake signature for the image and use this to work out how to reconstruct the scene without camera shake. It’s kind of like a software version of the image stabilizing control found on some lenses and cameras.

How to Be a Better Designer - Explores Key Ideas To Sharpen Your Skills
MAY 17, 2013

How to Be a Better Designer - Explores Key Ideas To Sharpen Your SkillsHow to Be a Better Designer explores five key ideas that will sharpen your skills and awareness of the elements of good design. From the intro: At PepCon this year I was honored to give two presentations, both on the topic of How To Be a Better Designer. This article summarizes the first of those presentations.

But before I start dispensing the advice, a question, an answer, and some disclaimers. First the question: Who am I to be giving such advice? Answer: I’m a graphic designer. Like many of you, I wear several hats. These days my working life is cobbled together from a combination of authoring online tutorials, writing, training, consulting, art, photography, public speaking, and…graphic design. I put it at the end of the list, but really it is graphic design that informs everything else.

I’m not a great designer, but I am an improving designer. And while I try to improve at all the aspects of my job, I put the most time and effort into improving and growing as a designer. If I am a better designer, it follows that I will also be a better photographer, artist, trainer, and writer. And now the disclaimers: This is not a manifesto. It is not a “fail-safe system”—nor should you trust anything that claims to be. Rather, it is an evolving list of unfinished thoughts and contradictions. It is not random, but it is not comprehensive either. I’m sure you’re already applying much of this advice. And I’m sure you’ll disagree over my emphasis and the things I’ve left out, intentionally or otherwise.

This is a path, not the path. That said, I am confident that if you follow these practices you will be a better designer. I should also state that I am focusing here on design technique rather than the business of graphic design.

Photoshop Only Updated Through Creative Cloud
MAY 06, 2013

Adobe today announced Adobe Photoshop CC as part of a major update to Adobe Creative Cloud. Adobe Photoshop CC will be available, exclusively to Creative Cloud members, in June. (See all current deals on Creative Cloud Subscriptions.)

Adobe’s desktop apps, including Photoshop, were previously known as Creative Suite (CS), and will now be branded CC to reflect that they are an integral part of Creative Cloud and have been reinvented to support a more intuitive, connected way of creating.

Photoshop Only Updated Through Creative Cloud

Photoshop CC includes a wide range of innovative enhancements, including new image deblurring and sharpening features to improve design workflows, and new Camera Raw capabilities. This update combines Photoshop standard and Photoshop Extended features to deliver greater accessibility to 3D tools and image analysis, while Creative Cloud integration offers flexible collaboration and sharing capabilities.

New Features in Photoshop CC
The new Camera Shake Reduction tool analyzes and corrects for blur from camera movement to produce a better image.

The all-new Smart Sharpen tool uses adaptive sharpening algorithms to minimize noise and halo effects while producing high-quality results. With intelligent upsampling users can increase the size of an image – large enough for a billboard – without pixelating the image.

Adobe Camera Raw 8 brings three new photo-editing capabilities to Photoshop CC. The Advanced Healing brush allows photographers to “heal” or “patch” images with a brush stroke instead of a circular area. The new Radial Gradient offers powerful controls to draw attention to the focus of an image without applying a standard vignette, and the Upright tool automatically straightens horizons and applies perspective corrections without distorting the image. Camera Raw edits can also be made to any layer or file within Photoshop CC.

For designers, improvements to rounded rectangles add the ability to adjust corner radii at any time. Users can also now select multiple paths, shapes and vectors at once, providing a faster, easier workflow for working with multiple objects.

In previous releases, Adobe Photoshop Extended was released as a separate application comprising all Photoshop features as well as 3D and image analysis capabilities. Beginning with Photoshop CC, all Photoshop Extended features will be integrated within one application, providing all users with advanced capabilities for 3D image editing and image analysis.
