Canon Digital Photo Professional video tutorials

If you are struggling with DPP 3.2 ”¹” than check this Canon site. It has good and downloadable video tutorials explaining in details the different tools and functionalities of DPP 3.2.

I think we can all benefit from these, newbie and advanced users alike since there is always something we might have missed. I know I did miss the batch renaming part !

Photoshop tutorial: Fix blown skin highlights

This post is written by RedCrown, believe me it is a powerful trick try it out it might save you some pics

Blown skin highlights is an unfortunate but common problem on portraits that are otherwise well exposed. I’ve read and tried many techniques with mixed results. So I developed this technique, using the best steps I’ve found in the work of others. Would appreciate feedback and improvements.

The process uses three common techniques. First it targets “blown” highlights using the Threshold adjustment. Then it changes that target area to a light neutral gray using Levels and Hue/Sat. Finally it paints color over the target area.

nVidia might be crashing your Adobe Lightroom !

This post is a guest post by Rami Fayoumi from ZeroHourSleep

Like everyone who reads ADIDAP I am into photography and I use Adobe Lightroom to edit my pictures. I was so excited when I first started working with Adobe Lightoom until I started experiencing regular crashes while using it. And when it crashes, it crashes really hard ! My CPU usage goes up to 50% even after I kill Lightroom’s process, so I end up forced to either logoff or restart my computer.
BUT, I have discovered lately what has been causing these crashes.

nView Desktop Manager! YES, that was it!

This article is part of a series of 4 posts “Adobe Photoshop Case Study from picture to Christmas card” make sure to visit other articles in the series

Yesterday I have introduced an adobe photoshop tutorial teaching us how to transform a picture taken in broad daylight into a night scene. This technique is going to serve as the basis for this case study.

RayGuselli is much more than a Photoshop guru, he is actually in artist. He recently blow away the DPreview retouching forum with his latest creation turning a picture he took into a magnificent Christmas card.
