Did you ever scan a photo or some film negatives on a flatbed or film scanner, only to realize that the image is covered in pieces of dust, pet hair, or lint?  Or maybe you photographed a closeup of an object only to find a bunch of obvious dust or scratches that were not very noticeable to the eye beforehand?  This Photoshop tutorial by the late Bob Mizerek will show you how to Photoshop out dust and scratches in a jiffy using this simple technique.

While the standard dust and scratches removal feature in Photoshop may be enough, you might find that many times that it takes away too much quality from the original image.  Using Bob’s method (as seen in the youtube video above) you will learn that dust removal can be a lot more selective using layers and masking; therefore preserving the important parts of the image, and all of its important details.

Here Bob (“The Miz”) shows us how easy it is with just a few steps to remove color cast issues that might have happened in your images.  Make sure to subscribe to our youtube channel for more step-by-step, easy-to-follow Photoshop video tutorials!

Have you ever taken a photograph of someone near a brightly colored wall, object, or in a certain environment; only to realize there has been a terrible colorcast on the subject?  This happens a lot.  The white balance isn’t always the issue, but more so what the light is reflecting off of.  Taking photographs of someone in the grass on a sunny day can many times make them have a slight greenish hue in their skin tones. Using some simple color range selections, and curves adjustment techniques, you can easily remove color cast issues using this simple technique that Bob Mizerek demonstrates in this video tutorial.

Cross processing is a technique where you either have the same image, shot on a tripod, captured with multiple exposures. Or, cross-processing can also be done by creating mutltiple exposure levels in post, using an original RAW file.  Here, Bob Mizerek gives us a peek inside his personal workflow to see how he took a landscape photo of a forest from dull to spectacular by cross-processing the image.

Have you ever wondered how you can make someone or some thing look like it is melting or bursting into pieces in Photoshop?  Another way to describe it is dispersion techniques or fragmentation.  Here is a tutorial I found of basketball player melting or being liquified by Doucin Pierre that will walk you through it step by step.

Here is a simple to follow tutorial on how to use levels adjustments layers in Adobe Photoshop to change the lighting in a photo in post processing.  This photo of the trees in a forest is a great candidate for this technique.  Bob also shows how to work with basic selections and layer masks, in addition to the levels controls.  Another method taught here is how to apply a photo filter in Photoshop to warm up the tones of certain areas of the image.

Yay, it’s Friday again!  Time for another fine example of PHOBAR.  If only Photoshop worked in real life. Plastic surgeons would go out of business.

Here is part 2 of 2 of the exploding bits and pieces Photoshop tutorial continued from yesterday’s post.  This is how you can make any object or selection fragmented into tiny shards or chunks and make them look like they’re bursting apart from the original object as tiny, separate pieces. Here the final touches are added, and you can see how to push this effect to even further realism using basic techniques. Tutorial by the late Bob Mizerek.

Is it Friday again, already!? All I can say is… oh snap!  What a drastic change.  I think this is actually the result of a scientific study that proves how much “beer goggles syndrome” actually affects the vision of single bachelors that have had one too many at the local bar or pub.  Which side is actually the before and which side is the after is probably debatable… one can never be too sure when you find these random examples of phobar online.
