Taking advantage of Adobe Bridge to assist in downloading photos from your camera to store on a hard drive can be extremely helpful and efficient.

Using the Zoom & Hand Tools in Adobe Photoshop
The funny thing about Photoshop is that just when you get the hang of using a tool a certain way, you learn that there are about a hundred other ways to use the same tool. I’ll admit, it can be overwhelming at times. The trick is to flip through the various methods of using something […]
How to Use Manual Mode for Video in Changing Light
Question: when I shoot video, I usually use auto mode because it’s easier and the camera chooses the exposure values for me. I’m trying to take my videos to the next level and I’ve been reading a lot and watching videos where people are telling me to use manual mode instead of auto mode. The […]

Metering Modes on the Canon Rebel T7i
There’s a lot to talk about today. When it comes to metering a scene with a DSLR camera, there seems to be some confusion. I know a lot of people like to talk about focusing and lenses and that sort of thing, but one of the most critical aspects of photography revolves around how much […]
Introduction to Adobe Bridge
I can remember back to the early days of Photoshop, where there once was a “Browse” window that would show, in thumbnail view, all images in a folder. From that window, you could look through and open any image you were interested in working on. I think these were the days before the “CS” was […]
How Do I Set the Homepage & Blog Pages in WordPress
Question: I recently installed a new WordPress blog and see that the blog view is set for the homepage by default. I’d much rather see a regular homepage like the ones I see in all the theme demos out there. I don’t want to have excerpts of my posts appear on the very first page […]
