love Photoshop Touch

I have been looking for sometime for the perfect Iphone retouching app.

So far the best for me was snapseed, but Photoshop Touch for me is now the best.

All this shots are Iphone Photoshop touch retouched photos.

Want to create apps for Iphone, Ipad and Android, but don't know coding ?

I have been working with http://www.buzztouch.com, and created 10 training apps with them that you can see here : 

www.photoserge.com/apps

This web site is amazing, I had tried other solutions, but didn't get the same result. The only cost is 70$ per year and the rest of the revenu is for you. You can even try for free up to 3 apps. 

it is so easy to make an app for anything. 

The service is top, I could't go on for hours and I get no money for saying that.

If you have apps to do give it a try...

Découvrez un designer de talent

Kelvin est de mes meilleurs amis, il est non seulement de loin l'infographiste le plus talentueux que je connaisse mais c'est aussi lui qui est à  la base de mon déclic pour devenir photographe il y a 8 ans. 

Il a crée des logos pour des dizaines de grosse société, dont certaine sont soumis à la confidentialité mais c'est du très lourd, certain que vous voyez tous les jours à la télé, avec un certain George C. j'en  dirais pas plus ☺

How to remove tourists from a photo

I show you here a trick that I learned from +Scott Kelby. Last year, we where in Versaille castle and he hand held his camera and started taking the same photos of the same corridor over and over again. There was a lot of tourists. 

After a while on each of the photos that he had, the tourists where at different places. He then used layers in Photoshop to erase all the tourist. Amazing !

I show you this trick and some data on using the stamp tool and the patch tool with content aware fill.

Hey Everyone,
Here's a short video I recorded last night showing how to extract liquid from one picture and place it into another using the 'Blend If' sliders in Photoshop. 

Really quick and really easy and makes a great technique to add into your 'Retouching Bag of Tricks'.

Hope you like it :)

Day 2 at Photoshop World

I did a few classe today, but one of my favorite was the making of a movie poster by +Corey S Barker of the movie Looper. 

I love doing composites, but seeing him doing his entire workflow from start to finish gave me a couple of more tools to make them pop even more. 

If you don't know +Corey S Barker you have got to check out his blog, he is an amazing teacher and specialise in 3D, composites and movie posters.

http://planetphotoshop.com/


He also has great tutorials for movie title. 

I also did a typography classe with +Scott Kelby as I'm really bad at that. The guy as usual is a genius, I learned so much in one hour it's incredible. things like how to make a title for a book, a presentation or a logo. What are the main rules how to align words together. Beautiful !

photoshop World Day -1 how to publish a book

Photoshop world officially starts today but yesterday I did a 4 hours seminar with  +Guy Kawasaki  and   +Shawn Welch  and it was great. The subject  was how to self publish books. 

I have self published a lot of my tutorials "books" more like apps that you can see here : 

www.photoserge.com/apps 

There is very little text and mostly videos. (that's because I only know how to speak in front of camera and I cannot write at all, but want to improve, but tell no one :-)

So I was very interested by the topic. 

The 4 hours flew like nothing, it was really interesting and really got me the urge to write more and publish more. The whole seminar was on their book APE how to publish a book wich you can find here :

arrived in Orlando for Photoshop World I'm exited !

Arrived last night, got to spend a bit of time with my friend +Scott Kelby. What a nice guy, I'm  really I'm always impressed on how easy going he is with people despite his position. It's a quality I love when true leaders have them for real !

I think it is going to be a lot of fun. Lightroom 5 beta is out, check this great video from the NAPP team on the key main features :

A couple of years ago I went to photoshop world in Vegas and loved it. I did classes all day and specialised in things I had less knowledge such as Typography, video, studio shoots, seo, social network etc...

I learned more in 3 days then in 6 months. The energy is amazing. 

If you follow my podcast and want to say hello, it would be a pleasure :-)

I will get to see again my friends +Scott Kelby +Matt Kloskowski +RC Concepcion +Pete Collins and +Kalebra Kelby +Barb Cochran

The photo above I just a couple of days ago, after a week of bad weather and rain the sun came to say hello for a few minutes and I was right in front of the Windmill of Montmartre. so I did a little pano as I could get the whole scene in one photo, like how it came out.

Same scene three different photography techniques - Tips

When ever I came across a wow scene, I always like to use all the tools that I have available for me as a photographer, you can see the result of each photo. All photos were taken a few seconds from each other

Photo 1 The Long exposure
I use an ND 1000 filer for this photo and got and exposure of 64 seconds at F13 to get that silky look in the water and the fuzzy clouds.

Photo 2 HDR
I bracketed three photos 0 -2 +2 and used Photomatix to merge. A little recipe, I retouch the photos a little bit in Lightroom first before going into Photomatix.

Photo 3 Regular Lightroom retouching
One exposure and a standard retouch in Lightroom 4 as you can see regularly on my Youtube Channel :

This is my son, nephew and a very good friend doing their own comedian show on youtube, I love what they do, it's a bit dark, but fun.

This is in french, but I think you can still understand it !

J'ai adoré ce livre. Il a été écris par un amis, et je l'ai lu un peu au début pour lui faire plaisir, et j'ai été "pris" par l'histoire. Je suis super fan de la série Games of Throne et j'adore ce genre d'univers. 

Il a su créer son propre univers avec des personnages hauts en couleurs.
