Complaints. I get them now and then, and the theme at the moment is that I don’t provide enough example files and demos for readers to work on. In fact, that is the overwhelming criticism about my work (the other is that it’s too advanced for some – I’ll write about that another time). My…
DetailsWhen working with groups in Adobe Photoshop, don’t forget that you can apply a mask to the group itself.

While most Photoshop users have gotten used to the idea of making image corrections with it, I wanted to use the Clone Stamp in a more artistic way. Coupled with a Wacom Intuos Pro tablet, I…
