NEXT WEBINAR

Join me on Tuesday, October 18th at 4:00 p.m.
“How Do I Decide What Textures to Use?”

A question that I am often asked is, “HOW do you decide which texture or textures to use on your image? What is your thought process and where does one begin?” I’m going to do some “live” edits and show you my process. I will not choose textures ahead of time, just the images I’ll be using! You’ll see exactly how I decide on textures to try, then if I’ll keep them or trash them! This will be fun!!

Due to the fact that I won’t have the textures pre-selected, the notes for this webinar will be available a day or two AFTER the webinar!

Two sets of Background Papers – perfect for portrait backgrounds of people or pets, or as overlays on your images. Subtle textures are great to combine to create your own looks (and don’t forget, you can change a texture to B&W to get the texture without the color!). The browns and golden yellows are also super to change the mood and tone of your image to a vintage look.

And I have a new set of “Grunge Brush Strokes”. Add a touch of grunge anywhere you like on your image! Great for edges as well as light brushstrokes over areas of your photos. Keep it light or pour on the grunge!

And there is a new set of Borders – set comes with Brushes as well as PNG and JPG files (instructions included too). Add some drama to your images with a border – from subtle to dramatic. These are borders only, no grunge or anything else in the centers.

LUMINAR – SALE ENDS TOMORROW

Luminar Neo has announced the fifth Extension – Focus Stacking (releasing in November)! This in addition to UpscaleAI and AI Background Removal, also being released in November.

Luminar Neo also announced recently that they were adding a “subscription” pricing model (in additional to being able to still purchased outright). In this case, I think the subscription is the best deal as it will include ALL extensions released during your 1 year subscription.

Sunday Sampler September 18 – Resend/Updates

Topaz Releases Photo AI

Maximize your image quality on autopilot.

With our groundbreaking new autopilot technology, Topaz Photo AI can detect and correct image quality issues in record time, with minimal input and maximum AI power. Shooting fast in low light? Eliminate noise to achieve clean, crisp images even at ISO 50,000 with our Noise Reduction AI filter. Did your favorite shot miss the mark? Correct missed focus, soft focus, lens softness, and motion blur with our Sharpen AI filter. Want to print a low-res photo with top quality? Eliminate artifacts, upscale, and enhance any image up to 600% with our Enhance Resolution AI filter. Want to add “impossible” detail to low-quality faces? Enlarge and enhance low-res photos of people with our Face Recovery AI filter.

opaz Photo AI fits into any photo editing workflow. Edit RAW files, process in batch, or launch from Lightroom (and more!). We’ve got you covered, and we’re getting better all the time.

Tutorial Thursday Dec. 31

Wow! What a year it’s been!! Definitely not what any of us expected on Jan. 1, 2020 for sure! I’m trying to look at the positive side – Dave & I both recovered from Covid; my business, while different, was able to thrive with online webinars and camera club presentations; last week I hit 504 YouTube followers; I have many friends far and wide across the globe thanks to photography; and last, but most certainly not least, I have a wonderful husband who loves me and supports me in all I do. I hope you can also find some good in this past year, and I wish you all the best for 2021! Thank you for being a part of my community.

For today’s Tutorial Thursday, I am re-sharing a couple of tutorial articles I’ve done.

(1) Adding a Vignette to an Image

(2) Adding a Stroke Border to an Image

(3) Unzipping a “zipped” file in Windows 10 (PC)

(4) Unzipping a “zipped” file on a Mac

ALL OF THE SALES LISTED BELOW END AT MIDNIGHT TONIGHT!!

Holiday Collection 2020
My Gift to You!

I truly appreciate your support throughout the year as well as your emails, comments and questions. I’m happy that I can be a part of your photographic journey and hopefully inspire you to find your own style and “voice” in your work.

This year’s Holiday Collection Freebie contains 12 textures in shades of red, green, gold and silver. However, these will come in handy anytime throughout the year and are great for backgrounds, bokeh and such.

Enjoy with my thanks and gratitude.
Wishing everyone a happy holiday season and a prosperous 2021!
