A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Lose
Feeling guilty for not having produced an MMT in several weeks, I resolved to remedy my backsliding ways this week. I sat down and produced a Video MMT in record time but, as I started to render the video (convert to a final, viewable format), I had a sense of déjà vu. Looking through my past videos, I found that I had produced a near exact copy of a video from several years ago. Old age and senility is finally taking its toll on me.
Questions about Selection Tools are one of the most frequently asked. For some reason, everyone wants to select an object in a photo, extract it out and move it to another photo. This video shows you how to use the Magic Extractor to do just that. The video also quickly covers the Selection Brush Tool that everyone thinks is the cat’s meow but I’ve personally never much cared for.

But for those looking for a lower entry point (or more extreme beam widths) SaxonPC grids offer a second […]
- Anatomy of a Project: Miller Mobley's Re-enactors May 14, 2012When I worked at The Sun, a lot of emphasis was put on always having multiple projects in the hopper. Self-generated projects are the lifeblood of any good paper, and they promote exploration and serendipity. Since I have gone out on my own, I can honestly say projects have the single most important vehicle for developing my photography. I always have at lea […]
