Novell Way to Remove Color Cast Using PSE 2018 AppTip Sheet


I use Photoshop and Photoshop Elements pretty much daily. But I often can’t remember the exact steps to complete a certain edit or effect that I want to create. I don’t do it enough. I either have to go to my notes, a magazine article, or perhaps a previous blog post to fill in the blanks to fill in the blanks of my memory.

What I have been doing for awhile now is to prepare a cheat sheet that lays out the basic steps concisely. I think that these cheat sheets may come in handy for others as well.

That is where the AppTip Sheets come in. They are kept as short as possible, and assume the reader knows how to use the subject program. They just need a little help in putting steps together. Another possible scenario is to provide a top level view of the various screens for a new app on a smartphone or tablet. These cheat sheets help me a lot. Maybe they will you, as well.

So, in this post, I have included an AppTip Sheet for removing a colorcast in a photo. The screens are for Photoshop Elements 2018, but older versions of Elements work equally as well.

Let me know what you think of this type of format. I plan to post others shortly. If you have an idea for a certain topic or program, let me know that as well.

PSE 2018 Basic RAW Editing using ACR


In this tutorial, we will cover the Basic editing panel in PSE 2018’s Adobe Camera RAW (ACR) editor. If you select a RAW image in the Organizer to edit, it is the ACR workspace that opens.

Specifically, the tutorial deals with the Basic sliders on the right side of the workspace. The other screen such as Details etc will be covered in later tutorials. However, using the Basic sliders is often all you need to greatly improve your image. And remember, most every RAW image needs some adjustment, since it has not been processed by your camera before being written to the memory card, like JPEG images have.
