I love teaching and photography... In that order. I feel that enjoying photography, and photo editing can get WAY too complicated. So my personal mission (and favorite thing to do), is to create education that simplifies the process of taking great photos, and how to edit them to get the results youโve always wanted.
Just watched your PS Summit talk on Layer Masks to AI Masks-choosing the right Tool and enjoyed it very much. Helped clear up so many questions I had about understanding when and how to use Layer Masks in PS. thanks so much and appreciate the help. A good boot camp tutorial, Matt!
Thanks. Glad you liked it!
Thanks for the instruction
Hi Matt,
Thanks for the great, rapid review of the new Photoshop features.
Is the version of Topaz Gigapixel in PS free?
Thanks, Paul
Hi Paul. It uses Generative Credits which may be free or may not depending on your plan. Try clicking on the link in the window it pops up and you can learn more about how many it’ll cost. Thanks.
these changes must be in the beta version??
Hi Gary. They are not. These are the full non-beta releases of each program. If you have trouble seeing them or getting the latest releases you’d want to contact Adobe.
Very consise introduction to the new features, thank you.
Thanks Matt,
Thanks, Matt, much appreciated.
Regards,.
As usual excellent information update done professionally. Thank you
Thank you for both of these update videos. I am very glad Adobe has added the dust removal feature to LR as I have been using it in PS. I have noticed, however, that the remove feature is far better in PS than in LR. I’m talking about simple removes, like an errant branch sticking out on the side. I frequently try LR remove and end up going over to PS because LR did such a poor job. This is confusing to me because I thought Camera Raw used the same algorithms in both.
