Recently, Harper’s Bazaar China released their March 2013 cover featuring none other than Sarah Jessica Parker. Immediately, multiple sources posted the image and shouted, “Photoshop Disaster.”
This is a wonderful case study on the end result of a shoot. It’s not necessarily true that the only thing there is to blame is Photoshop.
One of the most asked questions coming from the public is how to remove a model from a background.
Many tutorials I’ve seen haven’t been as easy to follow as this one by colleague, Dennis Dunbar.
Plus, Dennis is one of the best digital artists in the world, working on celebrities and a whole range of Hollywood movie posters.
If you haven’t heard of Amy Dresser before, you have now. She’s been working in the industry for a very long time and has set the way through inspiration for other retouchers. Read More→
Retouching is all lies! That’s what some people want you to believe. Although there may be some truth to it in the eyes of the public, it seems people want to draw a line on what is acceptable and what is too much.
The recent news that has people talking is regarding Natalie Portman.
This advertisement for Dior has recently been banned for having long eyelashes:
Many people use Photoshop on Windows so this comes as a huge announcement. Thank you to Adobe for letting people know in advance, that Windows XP will no longer be compatible with all future versions of Photoshop. After an over 10+ year run, XP, as amazing as it is, will no longer be supported. The reason is it isn’t 64 bit and all current operating systems demand a better architecture to run under.
They say, that only Windows 7 and up will be supported from CS6 on up. However, I personally use CS6 on Vista and it runs great. Though the difference is that even though it can run, it’s not supported or won’t auto-update.
One important part about photography is knowing exactly how far to go with retouching. When you see images in public, it’s hard to guess how much is done if you don’t have a trained eye or experience in the matter. With this shroud of mystery, you’re left to assume the worst, that they really did go further than you would have imagined.
An opportunity comes to us by a way of accident from Victoria’s Secret. For their September Catalog, they accidentally released the unretouched photos in a public area of the website for everyone to look at.
Within a year, Wacom has decided to launch 2 new products. Last time, it was the Intuos 5 touch. This time, it’s the Cintiq line that has 2 new models.
The two models are the Cintiq 24HD Touch and the Cintiq 22HD
Prior to these 2 models, the Cintiq only had the 24HD

With Photoshop continually making advancement in how we process photographs, it’s important to think about what else we can continually keep adapting.
With Adobe just releasing Photoshop CS6, we have plenty of new tools to tie us over for now. However, the future holds many opportunities for improvement and growth. Camera technologies continue to evolve and demand more from us on the post processing end. Even though it feels like we’ve hit a wall in terms of what other new things we could include in Photoshop, there are new techniques on the forefront of technology that show us what else is possible.
Here are three tools, out of many others, that showcase this point.
With Photoshop CS6 now out, upgrading is probably on the minds of many considering the outstanding new features. Just the raw processing engine alone makes for a worthwhile upgrade. However, for those still hesitant on the upgrade, there’s another option for consumers to consider.
Adobe Creative Cloud
