Photoshop, workshop, Kent, London, South East, replacing a sky

Here is a great idea for replacing a bad sky in a picture. There are many times when you come across a great shot but the weather is against you. In the film days it was shoot and weep but with digital we can now replace elements within the picture to create a new, dramatic shot. I replaced the cloudy sky with a blue sky with clouds. Remember to shoot a series of sky shots for just such a situation. Why not come and have a 1 to 1 workshop to find out how to do this and many more ideas in Photoshop or Elements.

Photography workshop in Kent and West Sussex, South East, England

These shots were taken on a recent photography workshop in Kent and West Sussex run by Tim Gartside. Thanks to Andrew and Greg for making it a great day out. The weather was on our side and we managed to get some great shots in great locations. The highlight was probably Lancing College Chapel which just blew us away with its size and ornate splendour. A great architectural wonder. Thanks Steve for the tip! Trips are usually one day long but a weekend course is also possible. During the winter months a dawn to dusk is also available. Check out my website for more details of courses available.

Photoshop short courses in lovely Kent, South East, England

This picture shows you just how powerful Adobe Photoshop is when it comes to post production. It allows you to produce simple effects all the way through to some amazing montages. Here basic curves, selections and colour were used to bring out detail in the shadows. Bamboozled by Photoshop? Why not treat yourself or give a gift to someone and learn some of the 'dark' arts of Photoshop to bring your pictures to life! Visit my website for more details or send me an email;

could not complete your request because an unknown or invalid JPEG marker type is found

Have you ever had this problem?

"could not complete your request because an unknown or invalid JPEG marker type is found"

Just happened to me and the answer is hopefully simple to cure. It would seem that a file extension is incorrect. EG. you think you saved it as a .PSD but it has become a .JPG. The file looks ok and you can see it but it won't open. Don't know why it happens but the wrong extension causes a conflict. Simply go into Photoshop or your chosen software and go File > Open, select your image file and choose 'open all readable documents' or if that fails, try opening it, one by one, with your most popular extensions like a .PSD or . TIFF or .NEF or .CAF etc if it is saved as a .JPG or vice versa. IE. file name is "landscape.jpg" try changing the extension to "landscape.psd" or "landscape.tiff" etc etc.
