It seems every time I post about Lightroom presets, I see a bunch of questions on how to install them. There's actually several ways that you can get presets in to Lightroom. I think every person has a way that they like, but this is the method I've found that works...
Lightroom and Photoshop: 3 Tips To Help Avoid Over-Processing Photos
Over the year I do a lot of photo coaching/mentoring and I get to review a ton of photos. One of the common things I'll mention to people is that some photos look over-processed (sometimes I like to use the term radioactive) 🙂 Whether you're using Photoshop,...
A New Way to Add Your Signature to a Photo

My Induction Into The Photoshop Hall Of Fame

No Time To Get Organized in Lightroom? Then Don’t!
Hey everyone. I posted this over on my Lightroom blog today, but it's something that I really think can help some people out there so I decided to cross-post it here (not to mention that I've been really busy this week so it was a quick way to get both blogs taken...
