Why Your Glows Look Fake (Fix It With Channels)
Download the Action here: https://f64.me/channels Learn more about the Channels: https://f64elite.com/channels/ In this video, I’m using Photoshop’s new Clarity and Dehaze controls to create a controllable “hazy atmosphere” effect that blends naturally. The problem with Clarity/Dehaze inside Photoshop is that they can feel like a hammer, so I’ll mask them using the Green channel for balanced separation, then soften and contain the effect with mask feathering and Levels. You’ll see how this creates an “Orton-style” glow without the smeary look, plus how to fine-tune it with opacity, mask feather, Levels on the mask, and a clipped Curves layer to control exactly where the glow lives (highlights vs shadows) and even add subtle color shaping. Download the free action, try it on your images, and let me know in the comments where you’d use this effect (landscapes, portraits, weddings, fine art) Chapters: 00:00 - Intro to Dehaze and Clarity 00:36 - The Problem with Clarity & Dehaze 01:26 - Intro to Channels 02:00 - Channels as Mask Maps 02:56 - A BETTER way to use Dehaze and Clarity 04:54 - Channel Masked Dehaze 05:52 - Blending the Effect 06:30 - Blooming the Effect 07:14 - Tightening the Effect 07:57 - Modifying the Effect 10:31 - The Action I made for YOU! 11:53 - Why are we doing this anyway? 13:03 - More with the Action 16:03 - What are you waiting for?

NEVER be afraid of Photoshop masking again!
Learn More Here: https://f64elite.com/channels/ Channels in Photoshop, scary, right? I know, I know, I know. You don't even want to go there. They can be incredibly difficult to understand, and most people will avoid them completely. But I will say, your images may suffer if you do. I made a course to make channels a lot easier to understand, and it's available today!!! Key Concepts you will learn in this course: • Read channels as mask maps (not literal RGB). • Pull clean selections straight from channels. • Refine masks for natural transitions. • Go beyond luminosity masks (sky, foliage, highlights, atmosphere… no limits here) • Build advanced masks with Calculations. • Use Apply Image to isolate color data intentionally. • Develop a repeatable experimentation workflow. ____________________________________________ Do you like the videos I make on YouTube?

After the Edit: How Art Finds Buyer
Learn More About TASA: https://f64.co/TASA2026 Most artists stop at the edit. File saved • Image looks great • Post it • Hope it sells But that’s not how art finds its buyer. I had a conversation recently with my good friend Jason Matias, the mastermind behind The Art of Selling Art, that dug into the part no one really talks about: • Why effort doesn’t justify price • Why “I like this” means almost nothing • Why most artists don’t actually have a sales problem: they have an audience problem • And why the story behind the work matters more than the hours you put into it We also discussed your ideal buyer and where you should be selling your art. The edit is only half the job, or even less sometimes. If you’ve ever wondered why good work doesn’t automatically move… this event is for you. You're in for a treat, Jason shares a cornucopia of valuable information! Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 00:28 Who is Jason Matias? 02:06 When you edit do you have the buyer in mind? 04:20 What does editing time look like? 06:40 One Shot versus building the composition 08:15 Does the editing style influence the sale? 11:34 How important is VISION in Art Sales? 13:58 What is an Avatar? 19:16 The 5% Rule 20:37 Does the medium inform the sale price? 22:56 When art struggles to sell what is the issue? 26:25 Should style be honed before starting the sales process? 29:16 How do you go from being the creator to the communicator? 31:53 Do you compartmentalize the process? 34:16 The buyer gets a piece of you. 36:39 How do you move from a "like" to a sale? 40:48 How do you get to confidence? 46:02 Where you can I find more from Jason? ____________________________________________ Do you like the videos I make on YouTube?

Clarity and Dehaze for DEPTH - Not CRUNCH
Link to the Grain Video: https://youtu.be/cQIwWVErP7k Clarity and Dehaze are powerful tools—but when they’re pushed too far, they flatten depth, destroy atmosphere, and make images feel crunchy instead of dimensional. In this video, I walk through best practices for using Clarity and Dehaze inside Photoshop—not to manufacture texture, but to reinforce depth, air, and spatial separation. We’ll look at why heavy-handed use feels wrong, how the eye reads contrast and distance, and how to use these adjustments more intentionally for realistic, immersive images. This isn’t about banning strong edits. It’s about understanding when clarity helps, when it hurts, and how to use it to support the story your image is trying to tell. Chapters 00:00 Why Clarity & Dehaze go wrong 01:25 What Clarity vs Dehaze actually does 04:11 Using masks to control depth 05:49 Why “crunchy” images feel flat 06:53 Using less clarity for atmosphere 07:50 Blend Modes and Dehaze ____________________________________________ Do you like the videos I make on YouTube?

Blend If- Learn More ► https://f64.co/Blend-If-Panel The companion Clarity Video: https://youtu.be/fDRsZQ3-lQ4 Film grain isn’t noise, and it isn’t a slider you just crank up and hope for the best. In this video, I walk through what film grain actually is, where it comes from in traditional darkroom printing, and how to apply it realistically in Photoshop. We’ll look at why grain belongs in midtones and shadows, why it shouldn’t live in paper whites, and how to use Blend If to make grain fall off naturally just like it did in the analog world.

Story Time: Rescuing 800 Unedited Event Photos for a Panicking Friend
Hey everyone! I’ve got a quick photography story for you today. A friend of mine recently hosted an event, and the photographer just handed him over 800 completely unedited RAW files straight off the memory card. When he looked at them, all the indoor shots were completely yellow due to a white balance issue, and he was panicking about how to fix so many photos.Naturally, I told him, "Don't worry, I got you". Since these weren't my photos, I didn't want to import 800 massive files into my Lightroom Classic catalog just to delete them later. Instead, this was the perfect excuse to use the new Local tab in Lightroom Desktop.In this video, I walk you through exactly how I helped him out. I show you how I browsed the folder locally, instantly fixed the white balance using the eyedropper tool, applied an adaptive color profile, and added a touch of manual denoise. The best part? I copied those exact settings and batch-pasted them across all 800 photos while I walked away. After a quick export to JPEG, I was able to hand my friend a folder of perfectly edited images ready for social media and prints. 🔔 Subscribe for more tips! 👍 Like if you found this helpful & Comment with your questions!

Your Lens Isn’t Soft - The AIR Is Ruining Your Sharpness! #wildlifephotography #birdphotography
If your photos look soft even when focus and camera settings are correct, your lens may not be the problem. Heat haze and atmospheric distortion can reduce sharpness before light ever reaches your camera sensor. In this short, wildlife photographer Steve Perry explains how heat haze works, why long lenses are especially affected, and why autofocus settings, shutter speed, or expensive gear cannot fix atmospheric distortion. Learn how air temperature differences cause refracted light, why distant subjects lose detail, and what photographers can do in the field to improve sharpness when shooting wildlife, birds, sports, or distant subjects.

Bird in Flight Photography: The Mirrorless Settings & Techniques That Actually Work
Bird in flight photography is one of the hardest skills in wildlife photography, but the right setup and technique can dramatically increase your keeper rate. In this updated crash course, I walk through the mirrorless settings and field techniques I use to consistently capture sharp, dynamic birds in flight. If your bird-in-flight photos feel hit-or-miss, you’re not alone. Modern mirrorless cameras have changed how autofocus, exposure, and shooting technique work, and many older tutorials no longer reflect how today’s systems perform. In this video, I cover the essential settings and real-world techniques that help wildlife photographers consistently improve their bird-in-flight results, including: • The shutter speeds that maximize sharpness • How aperture affects focus forgiveness and background quality • Autofocus strategies for modern mirrorless cameras • Subject detection tips and common AF traps • Takeoff timing and tracking technique • Wind direction and positioning for better flight angles • Frame rate, stabilization, and gear setup tips Whether you’re new to bird photography or looking to improve your keeper rate, this video is designed as a practical starting point you can apply immediately in the field.

Why I Shoot 40-50% of My Wildlife Photos with the LCD (And How)
Are you still shooting everything through the viewfinder? You might be missing out. In this video, I break down how I use the rear LCD screen for 40–50% of my wildlife photography and why it has completely changed the way I approach low-angle and creative compositions. Shooting from the LCD isn’t just about convenience. It’s about unlocking perspectives that are impossible or uncomfortable through the viewfinder. Whether you’re photographing birds at ground level, wildlife from a boat, animals in trees, or trying to shoot over obstacles, the rear LCD gives you angles that simply aren’t practical otherwise. But there’s a catch. There’s a steep learning curve. In this video I walk you through: • The best autofocus settings for LCD shooting • Why subject detection and full-frame AF areas make this easier • Nikon Auto Area AF, Sony Wide AF, Canon tracking modes, Nikon 3D tracking • Back button focus vs shutter release focus with the LCD • Why image stabilization helps even at fast shutter speeds • How to find your subject quickly without “searching” • The rifle barrel alignment trick • Why you should start at your widest focal length • Teleconverter disengage and reengage strategy • How to compose looser to avoid clipping • Pre-focusing shortcuts • Using Pre-Capture for action moments • Practical shooting techniques for wildlife and birds If you’ve ever tried using the rear screen and felt frustrated, this video will shorten your learning curve dramatically. Whether you shoot Nikon, Sony, or Canon mirrorless cameras, these techniques apply across brands. Once you get comfortable with LCD shooting, you’ll open up a whole new world of creative wildlife photography angles that most photographers never even attempt.

Are Ears the Secret to Better Wildlife Photos? #shorts #wildlifephotographytips #mammals
Most people are taught to focus on the eyes in wildlife photography. Almost nobody talks about the ears. But ear position is one of the strongest emotional cues in an animal photo. Ears forward makes a subject feel curious, alert, and connected to the viewer. Ears pinned back usually read as stress, irritation, or defensiveness. And everything in between can either add character or make the subject feel disengaged, depending on the rest of the body language. If you want stronger wildlife portraits, do not just watch the eyes. Watch the ears too. This one small change can dramatically improve the emotional impact of your images.

End of Real Photography?
Can AI truly replace studio photography, location photo shoots, and portrait photography as we know it? In this video, we’ll take real photos and test whether AI can place them in entirely different locations and backdrops with a seamless match of lighting, colors, and pixel-level precision. Using detailed prompts and 8K AI workflows, we’ll transform a simple studio shot into natural outdoor scenes, street photos, luxury interiors, and more, while preserving the precise original features. We’ll see what it does well and where it falls short, so you can make your own judgment about where this technology is heading and what you wish to do with it. I hope you enjoy this video.

I Reviewed Your Photoshop Composites (Honest Feedback)
In this video, I review the entries from the January and February Nucly compositing challenges and break down what’s working in each piece—and what could be improved. For every image, I go through three things: • What’s working well in the composite • What feels off or breaks the illusion • The single most important improvement I’d suggest to strengthen the piece Compositing is rarely about adding more elements. Most of the time it comes down to refining the fundamentals—light, perspective, scale, color harmony, and integration. These critiques focus on those core ideas so you can apply the same thinking to your own work. If you submitted an image, thanks for participating. The quality of these challenges keeps getting better every month.

Recreate the CRIME 101 Movie Poster Look in Photoshop
Download tutorial assets here: https://nucly.com/crime-101-poster-tutorial In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to recreate the CRIME 101 movie-poster look in Photoshop using your own images. This is a great exercise in layout discipline, color control, and subtle texture—where small decisions add up to a strong, cinematic result. We’ll build the poster from the ground up, starting with a proper theatrical canvas and grid system. From there, you’ll learn how to mask and arrange multiple images cleanly, unify contrast with curves, and use a targeted gradient map to lock everything into a cohesive color palette. We’ll finish with separation lines, controlled grain, and typography that feels bold without overpowering the imagery. This workflow is practical, repeatable, and easy to adapt to your own posters, thumbnails, or promotional composites. 00:00 – 🎬 Intro & poster overview 00:00:49 – 📐 Setting up the canvas and grid layout 00:09:07 – 🖼 Importing images into the layout 00:09:48 – ✂️ Masking images into the grid 00:10:48 – 🟥 Adding black separation lines 00:11:40 – 🎨 Adding curves for contrast control 00:12:55 – 🔥 Applying the cinematic gradient map 00:14:10 – 🔠 Adding and styling the CRIME 101 text 00:15:05 – 🌫 Adding grain with Camera Raw 00:15:38 – ✅ Final polish and wrap-up Download original poster reference here: http://www.impawards.com/2026/crime_one_o_one_ver4.html Fonts used: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Ultra — Don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE and turn on notifications!

Generative AI to Graphic Design: The Primate Poster Tutorial
Download tutorial assets here: https://www.nucly.com/primate-poster-tutorial In this tutorial, I walk through the full process of recreating the Primate movie poster — starting with generative AI to create a chimpanzee wearing a T-shirt, then moving into Photoshop to build the final graphic poster design. We focus heavily on style and control, not just AI output. You’ll see how to take an AI-generated image and push it into a bold, high-contrast movie poster using Photoshop techniques that actually hold up in real design work. Topics covered: • Using generative AI to create a usable character base • Cleaning and prepping AI imagery for design • Gradient Maps for controlled color styling • Combining Difference, Hard Mix, and Linear Light blending modes • Building a gritty, graphic poster look • Typography placement and negative space for impact This is a practical workflow for designers who want to use AI without losing creative control — and avoid the “AI slop” look. — Don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE and turn on notifications!
