Long Exposure Mobile Photography WITHOUT ND Filters Brian Matiash 2021-11-08 | Every year, my level of amazement over what smartphones can do with photography reaches new levels. It feels like just a few years ago, we had to make so many comprises and sacrifices if we wanted to get a decent photo using our phones.

Make Your Landscape Photos POP Using Your iPhone (or Android) Brian Matiash 2021-04-26 | Of all the effects that photographers tend to add to their landscape and travel photos, probably the most popular one is called the Orton Effect (or Orton Look). And there's a good reason for it... when correctly applied, the Orton Effect can add a rich, dreamlike glow to your photos that will enhance them beyond what you can do in editors like Adobe Lightroom.There is no shortage of videos walking you through how to add the Orton Effect using Adobe Photoshop on your desktop (I will link to my own video below), but I wanted to see whether I can apply this look only using my iPhone... and it worked!

ADD IMPACT to Your Photos with Free Transform [Adobe Photoshop] Brian Matiash 2021-04-12 | Have you ever wondered why your landscape photos may not have the impact that you would like? This is something that I've been thinking about a lot lately, especially while editing some of my older shots.

Mountains that I knew were gigantic looked tiny in my frame. Fortunately, fixing these things is pretty easy thanks to the Free Transform tool in Adobe Photoshop (or any other layer-based editing app).Download the free Nature Tones Adobe Creative Profile Pack:matiash.com/free-adobe-profiles=============================Table of Contents:=============================00:00 - Introduction01:08 - Trigger warning01:37 - Photo summary05:12 - Editing Photo 0111:12 - Editing Photo 0213:35 - Editing Photo 0317:30 - Download Adobe Nature Tones Profiles for Free!==================================Continue your video watching journey:==================================3 Reasons to Use Adobe Photoshop Instead of Lightroom: youtu.be/TsbyUO_j__c
Why Topaz Labs DeNoise AI and Sharpen AI BLEW MY MIND Brian Matiash 2021-04-05 | Recently, my good buddy, @MattKloskowski, recommended that I check out two apps by Topaz Labs, DeNoise AI and Sharpen AI, because I was complaining about how Adobe Lightroom handles those tasks (especially with noise reduction). After sending a bunch of photos through both apps, I have to say that my mind was blown with the results. It also made me realize the importance of using "purpose-driven" applications that specialize in specific tasks. I guess it's not always good to be a jack of all trades when it comes to photo editing applications.Try DeNoise AI and all the other Topaz Labs apps for free:bit.ly/tpai-yt=============================Table of Contents:=============================00:00 - Introduction01:13 - Discovering Topaz Labs02:34 - Photo 1 - Topaz DeNoise AI09:52 - Photo 2 - Topaz Sharpen AI15:20 - Save 15% off all Topaz apps16:37 - Photo 3 - Topaz DeNoise AI19:28 - Photo 4 - Topaz Sharpen AI21:46 - Continue your video watching journey==================================Continue your video watching journey:==================================What to expect when moving from Adobe Lightroom to Adobe Lightroom Classic: youtu.be/zxCDktCM1rQ

FOCUS STACKING the RIGHT WAY using Adobe Photoshop (HOW, WHY, and WHEN) Brian Matiash 2021-03-29 | Most focus stacking tutorials show you what to do when you're in front of your computer, but that just shows you "how" to do it. It's as important to know "why" and "when" to focus stack. So, we're going to start at the actual composition phase in the field.First, it's important to understand why you why you would want to focus stack based on the lens you're using and the distance to your subject(s). Next, you'll want to make sure that your composition is best suited for a focus stack before taking the shots. You'll also want to be sure that you get the proper focus stack brackets. Finally, it's time to turn to the computer to stack the images together. BUT, there are instances where Adobe Photoshop's auto stacking feature outputs a poor result. So, I'll show you a super easy way to fix that.

How to CORRECTLY Use Creative Profiles in Adobe Lightroom & Photoshop Brian Matiash 2021-03-22 | Creative profiles can really improve the look of your photos when used correctly. Often times, creative profiles and presets get a bad reputation because they're not used properly and can seriously ruin your photos. I've been using creative profiles in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop since they were announced in April 2018 and want to share 3 tips on how to correctly use them. I'm not saying that every photo needs to have a creative profile applied or that each profile has to be used at full strength.
