Thanks!
So far the only tutorial I've seen that takes it slow and doesn't require prior experience to soft design.
Thanks! Most people say I move too fast
The video was so helpful!Thanks a lot!
Glad it was helpful!
Best explanation by far for us totally new to the software, thanks for your ti man, really looking forward to learning how to make so
More to come!
So, I’ve been using Photoshop Elements for about a year now and have kind of learned-by-doing. It takes forever to figure what some of the tools do because there are so many, and when I do figure something out, a new option appears to completely mess me up. I tried learning through Lynda.com, but some things are not fully explained there...but it’s a good place to start. Now, since discovering George Peirson’s “How To Gurus” channel on UA-cam, and his PSE course, I am truly jazzed about using this software.
In his course, George teaches you how to use ALL the PSE tools, and combined with his free UA-cam videos, I am truly amazed at what I’m able to do. Each morning I watch about an hour of his UA-cam instruction, then in the afternoon I complete a module of the course. Right now I do family birthday videos with Premiere Elements and include pics I’ve enhanced with Photoshop Elements. Now, instead of just fine-tuning photos, I can put my grandsons in photos with different backgrounds, different colored clothes, and with famous people, just to name a few. In fact, right now I’ve finished putting my 3-year-old grandson playing with Ruth Badger Ginsberg and The Rolling Stones. (Won’t his parents be proud?)
Anyway, I can’t say enough good things about George Peirson’s course and “How To Gurus” on UA-cam. George truly is the expert and an excellent teacher.
Wow, thank you! I work hard to make my training the best that it can be, glad to hear it is working for you.
I am always learning new approaches and techniques from you as well as reviewing and tweaking techniques from previous tutorials. I finally see a new use for the sharpening tool. Thanks
You're welcome. I tend to use the sharpening tool to add in texture more than use it for actually sharpening. It is also good on increasing the film grain look if you have been retouching an area and lost some of that. Works especially well with black and white.
George
I had a photo with the similar issue and I am glad I had the opportunity to watch this video:Excellent.
Thanks!
George
Excellent video. I'm struggling with Photoshop Elements and this will help me a lot. THANKS!
You're welcome!
Brilliant George
Thanks! I wish there was a good AI fix for this job, it is actually one of the most difficult things to get right and it crops up all the time. I will have to go back and take another look at anthropics, they have some phenomenal AI in their editing programs.
Excellent video.
Thanks!
George, great video, dealing with shadows maybe among the top most used edit request I see, because many folks shoot in automatic and they get the background bright but the people often are not, they are shadow covered or darker.
Thanks for all your help, great and important video!
Rich
You're welcome Rich. I have had several requests recently on handling shadows so thought it was about time I put up a video.

Hi George, thanks for another great video. I remember your video on frequency separation and wonder if that could be used successfully on the second photo? I mainly take landscape/sunset photos and sometimes lighten the shadows in a selection. I typically use the Quick Selection Tool then the Refine Selection Brush Tool, which works well when there is good contrast. Occasionally I will copy the Background, lighten the shadows on the whole copy and use this to get a better selection, then delete that layer. It is great to see your videos and learn new and different techniques.
Hi Phil, you can use Frequency Separation on the second photo for final clean up but it will not be effective to remove the large shadow. Frequency Separation is really a last step technique to take a good photo retouch to great. The problem with Frequency Separation is that you are either fixing texture or you are fixing color, neither one of which will fix this shadow problem. But after you have removed the shadow you can certainly use it to improve the final look. For instance in this video I used the quick trick of using the Sharpen Tool to add back in some texture into the repaired skin area, you could do the same thing with Frequency Separation copying skin texture from one area into the new area lacking texture.
George
Thanks George, it is great that you know all the tricks and share the best ones with us.

A great video

Thanks, George. I have also found that the healing brushes are often not as clever as the clone stamp in making such changes. As you say, one needs to try both to see which will work better on a given image. Interesting that you used the Levels under Layer Adjustments rather than under the Enhancement menu. I guess it does make more sense doing that, given that you are able then to edit the layer.
I simply cannot get to grips with the polygonal lasso tool for some reason, and right now the quick selection tool is playing up. Almost as if it goes to sleep, then takes for ever to catch up, with the cursor turning into a wheel that goes round and round and round whiles the software is making its mind up about what to do!! Very frustrating to put it very mildly!
Hi Peter, whenever possible I try to do Enhancements as Adjustment Layers since I can then keep it or throw it away, and by clicking on the Layer Icon I can go back in and edit the settings. With adjustments in the Enhance menu once you put that on your image you are stuck.
On the Polygonal Lasso Tool, you are setting control points and Photoshop Elements is filling in straight lines between the points. If you need to go around a curve then just put your points closer together. Always go clear around your selection and back to the beginning to close out the selection because PSE will put a straight line between your last and first points so put those either on top of each other or real close. If you can't find the starting point just double click to close the selection.
With the Quick Selection tool sounds like you are running out of memory. Can easily happen with large images at high resolutions or where there is a lot of detail to the selection. Also if you have been working for a while on a large image you may have filled up your memory cache and that will also slow things down. Try clicking on Edit/Clear/Clear All, this should free up memory but it will also get rid of your Undo/Redo steps up to that point so make sure you don't need to do any Undoing before clearing out the History.
George
The only tNice tutorialng I learnt myself in soft soft is pressing tab in the keyboard to bring up the channel rack
Exactly
Hi George - Excellent tutorial, as always. But I didn't hear you mention why in both cases, you copied the layer mask up onto the adjustment layer, and did nothing more with the layer mask copy. Can you explain? Thanks
Hi Robert, the layer mask on the adjustment layer is used to limit the adjustment to just that part of the layer below. Just makes for an easier and cleaner adjustment.
thats a good sign imo
!
great new intro
Thank You! It has been a few years since I updated the intro, thought it was about time.
George
Great
Thank!
George
Legend says he's still not back..
But he is
I must be missing something. Around 14:30 in your video, you mention you could not adjust the brightness again, because it wasn't an adjustment layer. Could you have added it as an adjustment layer, in the layers panel, in the beginning, instead of going through Enhancements drop down?
Hi Nancy, at that point I am talking about Shadows/Highlights which is not available as an adjustment layer. Brightness/Contrast and Levels are both available as adjustment layers but Shadows/Highlights is not and in this particular photo the Shadows/Highlights gave the best results. If I was doing this over in Adobe Photoshop I would put the Shadows/Highlights on an adjustment layer because that option is available in Adobe Photoshop but not in Photoshop Elements. One of the many limitations that have to be worked around when using the less powerful Photoshop Elements program.

I've been considering buying your adobe photoshop 2020 training dvd's. well I finally purchased it and guess I didn't pay enough attention but its for windows and I have a Mac. :-(. wondering if you have it in Mac version? I will process my return when the dvds arrive and re-order.
Hi Debra, your order was scheduled to ship out to day so I have held the order. Our DVDs are only available for Windows at this point as we are phasing out the DVD format. Our online version works with both Windows and Mac. If you like I can set you up with access to the Online version, or you can just cancel the order on Amazon.
@@HTGGeorge Yes set me up with the online course. Do I still need to cancel the amazon dvd order? or do we just call it even. the amazon page only offers "Problem with order" or "return and/or replace". no option to cancel
@@sprklhair Hi Debra, leave the Amazon order as is. I will ship out the Windows DVDs anyway since you can access the individual videos on the discs with QuickTime, so it will give you a backup, but the online version is the way to go for Mac. I will have my tech set that up and send you the registration link soon
@@HTGGeorge Just wondering if your tech had sent the link? will it be in my email?
thanks for your help! Ill check back tomorrow. thank you again
@@sprklhair Hi Debra, I will need to get your email address so that I can send you the registration link. It can't be done through Amazon as they strip out all web links in their emails. Don't put it in these comments, instead send it to my email address sales@howtogurus.com, include the Amazon order number so that we can properly link up the registration to your payment.
choose to keep the loop playing in any order, DJ's will love tNice tutorials.
Noted!
If I buy your PSE course can I watch on more than 1 computer?
The online course allows up to 3 computer addresses, but only 1 computer at a time.

Thanks!
George, I have heard on your videos and others that I have watched that pictures on elements and photoshop are saved keeping all the layers and work done on editing so you can bring that picture back up if needed and make changes. I have looked and looked for answer to this but all I can find is how to save just one layer not all of the work can you help?
Hi John, just make sure you are saving to the native PSD file format and it will save everything for future editing. The PSD file format is the default format for both Photoshop Elements and Adobe Photoshop. If you are working on a project with layers and click Save it will automatically save to the PSD file format unless you choose something else.

how can I remove text on Photoshop elements
Hi Jamie, you can use either the Clone Stamp or Healing brushes, or the Content Aware Fill. But it depends on what the text is on top of. If it is over something important like a face you are probably out of luck as the tools only allow you to copy from one place in the picture to another.
