Dodge, Burn and Sponge, the Photoshop CS4 Way
The improvements in Photoshop CS4 come in all shapes and sizes some big and obvious, and others are important yet easy to miss. The improvements in the Dodge, Burn and Sponge tools fall into this latter group....

Love 'Em or Hate 'Em, Photoshop Now Has Tabs
Every time Adobe upgrades Photoshop, they change things. That is the whole point now isn't it, but if you've gotten used to the way things used to be, change doesn't always come easy. One of the most obvious interface changes Photoshop CS4 brings is the way it arranges open documents. Yes, Photoshop now opens documents in tabs and not everyone seems to be happy about that....

Monitor Covers and Screen Protectors for Cameras
With the growth of digital photography, cameras have been turning into computers. For nature photographers that introduces a dilemma.

DxOMark.com changes all that. The new website created by the people behind the excellent DxO raw converter provides a wealth of information comparing and rating the camera sensors that at the heart of how digital photography works....

Should You "Maximize Compatibility" in Photoshop?
In a default installation of Photoshop, you'll be confronted with an ominous warning about maximizing compatibility when you save a new image as a PSD file. The dialog warns you that failure to do what it suggests may interfere with the use of your file in other applications or with other versions of Photoshop. Scary stuff. The question is though, should you heed its advice? Is safe better than potentially being sorry later?....

Are Adjustment Layers Really Still Necessary in 16-bit?
The use of adjustment layers helps to maintain image quality by avoiding the buildup of artifacts that can result from a series of successive individual edits. But if you're editing in 16-bit mode, you've got a heck of a lot more data to work with. Each pixel value is so much more precise than it would be in 8-bit, do you in fact now have data to spare? That is, do you really still need to worry about using adjustment layers at all?....

Phottix Cleon Wireless/Wired Remote
If you've been reading my website for any time at all, you probably know that I shoot as many shots as I can using a cable release with the camera firmly atop a tripod. Wide angle and fisheye lenses though can make getting out of the way difficult when I'm tethered to the end of my remote control cable so I've always considered getting a wireless remote. I think I've finally found one I like....

Shadows and Highlights, the Easy Way
Unfortunately, Adobe hasn't seen fit to let us use it on an adjustment layer, but the aptly named Shadow/Highlight adjustment in Photoshop is definitely the easiest way to bring out shadow detail, tone down reflective highlight glare and make other common tonal adjustments. Here's how it works....
