Capture One for Landscape – Part One
After a great deal of feedback from our readership about the Lightroom for Landscape series that myself and Joe Cornish recorded, we have since received quite a few enquiries about a similar series covering Capture One. more
Creative Cloning
We’ve all been in the position of having what looks like a wonderful picture we can see but sadly there is an obstacle sitting in the way. For me it’s quite often the trunk of a tree sitting in the way. more
Thoughts about Post Processing
Visual information processing is the reasoning skill that enables us to process and interpret meaning from our eyes. The way we perceive plays a big role in our everyday life. more
Shadow Colour
Over the last year or so I’ve been looking more and more into the properties of light and how it interacts with surfaces, shadows, etc. Some of my first research, prompted by a workshop with our own David Ward when I was first getting into photography, was around how shadows are ‘coloured’. This came about when discussing David’s ‘Poverty Flats’ - a stunning example of how sunny day, blue sky shadows can be intensely blue cast (especially when mixed more
Desaturating the Shadows
I’d like to talk about a technique I’ve been playing with for about the last year. It first came about when I started to post process colour negative scans for the film scanning business I run. more

Inverting Negatives Refined
A while back I wrote a small tutorial on how to invert colour negatives using photoshop. At the time I promised a video but was still working on the technique. more
Take Control of your Saturation
If you take a look at the popular photography press you’ll see that the saturation slider is probably one of the most used post production tools and also perhaps one of the most abused. more
My Personal Backup Strategy
I guess talk of backups and administration can appear boring to some, or avoided because its complicated and difficult, well yes it is perhaps a bit boring, but does not have to be complicated or hard. more
Mixing to a Reference
The title of this article will mean very little to most photographers unless they have had a parallel life as a studio engineer. If they have they will recognise the well known mastering process of listening to a favourite, well produced song whilst making corrections to a new song that they are currently working on. The mastering process is the final step of taking the finished product from the studio and making tweaks to prepare it for radio, vinyl, more
Digital Emulation of Velvia 50
Ever since digital cameras first became available, people have wanted to emulate their favourite films. This was probably exacerbated by the fact that digital didn't have strong 'flavour' of its own to begin with and people fell back on what they already knew. The first film simulations were pretty crude - add a heavy tint of colour and turn the saturation up and down. However, as technology became more mature, the simulations got better. However, in the many years since more
