Put Save As Back on the File Menu

Do you miss the Save As command that was replaced on the File menu by Duplicate? Many long-time Mac users do, and if the fix escaped your notice back in 2012, now’s your chance to put your Mac back the way you want it.

Photoshop Targeting Layers via the Keyboard in Photoshop – Great for Actions

• Option + “[“ or “]” (Mac) | Alt + “[“ or “]” (Win) targets the layer above or below the currently targeted layer.

• Option + Shift + “] “or + “[“ (Mac) | Alt + Shift + “] “or + “[“ (Win) adds the next layer up or down to the targeted layer(s) (note when you get to the top or bottom of the layer stack, Photoshop will “wrap around” to continue adding/subtracting layers).

• Option  + “,“ or “.”  (Mac) | Alt  + “,“ or “.” (Win) targets the bottom/top -most layer.

• Option + Shift + “,“ or “.”  (Mac) | Alt + Shift + “,“ or “.”  (Win) targets all layers that fall between the currently targeted layer to the top or bottom of the layer stack.

Note: these shortcuts are essential when recording actions as they help to select layers, but do not record the specific “name” of the layer in the action.

Lightroom HDR Findings – 5 shot HDR produces better tone in LR

Testing shots in Folder: 2015-11-18 Absolute Avenue Mississauga

Even though J. Kost stated that LR uses on two shots, I ran a 5 shot HDR through (-2,-1,0,+1,+2) using LR and 5 seem to have a smoother tonal result.

1,2,3,4,5 processed by LR HDR and it is the best. 1-5

1,5 processed by LR HDR 1&5 and its tone is not as smooth as using 5 shots

1,2,3 processed by LR HDR 1-3 and its  dark as only the -2 to 0 ev were used.  Still I like that version because I like darkness.
