Tutorials for Photographers: ACR 6 – Split Toning

Today I will show you how to use the Split Toning tool in Adobe Camera Raw.  This is Video 6 of my ACR tutorial series. Remember, when you use Adobe Camera Raw you’re not damaging your pixels so play with this and have some fun!

For my Newsletter friends:

These images below have been processed using the Split Toning tabs.

I feel that this tool in ACR is under used.  You can really have some fun here and create an artistic feel to your images.  As always you can contact me via email from my website but if you have time post to the blog.  I love chatting with other photography lovers :)

SJP Video 10: Organize your Image Folders

Hello fellow photography lovers…

I post these tips and lessons to help you with your passion for photography and to help you with your business.  I do this because I enjoy learning from others and hope that you learn from me too.  With that said I wanted to share my latest video tutorial on organizing your image folders.   I have done a lot of research trying to find the best way, for me, to organize all of my images.  I’m always checking out other websites and attending tele-seminars to learn new goodies on photography.  I’m a fine art photographer specializing in Macro and Landscape photography but that doesn’t limit me to view other types of photography.  I enjoy everything!  The creativity out there is amazing!

I believe I found this idea from a wedding photographer in New York, Doug Gorden, but it’s been a couple of years since I started this so I’m not sure  :)

This may not be for you but check it out you might be surprised?

For my email subscribers:

Cheers,

Janice

Tips while photographing B&W:

  • Pay attention to your composition – make it simple if you’re unsure.
  • Contrasting colors make beautiful full Zoned images.
  • Shoot in color & RAW
  • If needed, view only, on camera – monochrome.
  • Enjoy the experience in post; if frustrated take a break.
