Thanks for this tutorial Colin, very nicely done.

Thank you Colin...love all your videos, you're a great instructor. Look forward to learning a lot more from you. I'm grateful!

now this was useful to me. TY!

I like your tutorials and the way you present them a lot! thx Colin!

Excellent fix on a tough image, Colin.

Thank you for all that stuff Colin!!!! 👍👍

Wow! Amazing! Thank you!!

Thanks for this. Very helpful.

This was so helpful!! Thanks so much!!

Love the tutorials Colin!~ Need to know how to remove reflections from a shiny surface and even out the surface color of a large drinking glass. Also how to wrap a graphic. The warp tool is great but it's very difficult. Thank you!

Wonderful tutorial, great pace, and example.

Brilliant Colin and it’s the little things that make a big difference 👍🏽

Awesome! Very helpful, thanks so much!

This is so helpful right now, need to remove shadow behind some portraits thank you!

Great Guide . Thank you sir

i Always find the Photoshop CAFE tutorials easy to understand and very informative, they are great for learning how to adjust RAW, JPG or Tiff photos. One suggestions would be to include a session on to remove shadows and do other adjustments on old monochrome photos.

This is magical!!! Thanks for sharing!

Well done! I love tutorials on fixing problems in photos

I subscribe because of the written instructions. The video is so useful the first time, but sometimes i don't remember everything and i have to keep looking over the whole video until i find what i need. In the written steps, this is much easier, so thank you :)

You sir are a lifesaver!

All kind of Photoshop tutorial, I am very much interested in and will appreciated

Another great tutorial, Colin. I keep forgetting about that brush in the camera raw filter.. That's so useful for editing specific areas of an image. What I'd REALLY like to see is a real-life lasso and content-aware fill for those blockheads that see you getting ready to shoot a photo, and walk right in front of you anyway.... 🤣

Excellent tutorial as usual.

How I love this tutorial. I wasn't able to use all the tools like the Adjustment Brush in Camera Raw - this one did't have the color when I selected the shadow - I had a white and the Opacity window in the final stage of the process did not activate. Yet the most awesome thing is that the shadow was removed! Thank you. I wish I could say more in my appreciation; am just too excited.

Very helpful thank you

I NEEDED THIS TUTORIAL 3 YEARS AGO!!! HAHA THANK YOU!!! I WILL PRACTICE THIS!!!

Really it's very useful sir.. thank u very much..

sunrise or sunset landscape would be great, thanks Colin.

Thanks Colin 👍♥️

Thanks Colin, I have a similar situation with a treasured portrait photo taken outside on a film camera. The flash didn't fire and the face is dark like it is in the shadow. Because its not digital (raw) can this technique still be applied if the photo is scanned into photoshop.

Great video

Very helpful video, it was simple and easy

Marvelous job.

Awesome dude

Very good video. I only have Photoshop Elements 18 so I don't have all the tools you used. However, the harsh selection line can easily be improved by reducing the hardness (0%) of the selection brushes. You used camera raw filter (I don't have that) I used the lighten and screen filter to get a similar result. Thanks for your tips.

Hi Colins. I'd like to see more tutorials on creative masking. For example, like putting things in front or in back of objects, duplicity tricks and so on. Sometimes I get confused and I have to sit back and think of how to approach a masking challenge and I feel like the folks that struggle making knots or are knot challenged. In my case I find myself "masking challenged" if you get what I mean. This tutorial on shadows was extremely helpful. Thanks again.

are you only able to do with photoshop cc? I cant seem to find photoshop cc and am only able to download photoshop. Like i dont see the option of mask or auto mask. all i see is "mask option" to click

Great job Colin, you're a Photoshop genius! Could you please make one or two videos, on how to color in Photoshop a white object in black and a black object in white?

There are times when I have trouble seeing my cursor. Especially when it's over a background of a similar color or brightness. Is there a way to change the color of the cursor?

I have an older version of photoshop and I don't have this "camera raw filter". However I belive that ALL adjustments may be adjsted just by using the "curves" adjustment. Using the curves you can adjust: brightness, darkness, make monochrome image, and also make it negative. But how do you adjust the temperature, shadows, whites, blacks, dehaze and what other adjustments you did at the "camera raw filter"?

nice tutorial I need to do shadow and or Sunlight removal on buildings this is the second Vid i watched on the subject. I am finding it a bit more difficult matching the contrast between Shadow lit and sunlight areas. I would be happy to send some NYC raw file building shots. Very tough at this time of year to get good light (Dec) thanks

u hv gud topic. carryn on ! thanks

Beautiful picture! Awesome technique to get rid of intense dark shadows. Extremely useful, Thanks a lot!. I'd like to learn how to make an object look like it's sitting on a surface, no drop shadow, just flat anchored to a surface. My sister has a cake shop and she takes decent pictures of the cakes to post them on her social media platforms (she lives overseas, I'm in the US) so what I do is, cut out the cake and try to place it onto a top (table, kitchen counter top, etc.) and add a background, but most of the time, depending on the angle that the picture was taken, I end up with the cake hovering over the surface, leaving me with the only option of adding a drop shadow to make the base where the cake is on, look like it's somehow sitting on the surface. The image (cake) covers 80% of the canvas, so all you can see is a bit of the bg and part of the top. I use the free transform tool to modify and adjust perspective and angle but still extremely hard to get it right, tried all blending modes but none of them work. I've found 2 tutorials but both of them are useless for this specific issue because they use drop shadows to make the subject look attached to the surface. Is it impossible? I refuse to give up.

That was awesome, thank you 😄 I'd love to know the easiest way to remove backgrounds from figures in images.

Hi Colin. Great tutorial. I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Could you please tell us how to edit RAW's green & red photos when shoot in a room with energy saving lamps? Thanks a lot

Other thing I would like to know could it be possible to Colorize B&W photos using channels inside photoshop ?

Great tutorial as always. Can you do AfterEffects tutorials for beginers?

Nice! What I would like to learn is how to use the match color tool (Adjustment>Color Match) to match wooden cabinets and floors / stone countertops with other photos of the same room.

Yes i was wondering if you can do a quick video on how to work and deal with prospective. This is a common problem where lots of new and even experienced users still struggle. Thx in advance !

I completely forgot about the Camera Raw filter option! I learned about it in University but somehow managed to lose that very useful piece of information. You just saved me weeks of clicking and reopening files in Raw. Thank you! I also never use Spot removal in Camera Raw. great tips

Hi! Great video! Can you demonstrate one with people? Thank you!

is it possible to obtain the same result using LR classic ?

I received an image with a fairly blown out yellow chair cushion that the client wanted a toned down mauve color. However, due to the strong highlights, could not use normal techniques in layer styles. Uggg. Thoughts?

Please do a tutorial for processing brackets Thanks!

Great tutorial, got it where I wanted it, but in the raw camera option, it doesn't let me save changes to go out

I would love a tutorial on a workflow to filter out videos from stills when importing using Lightroom, but then editing in Final Cut pro instead of Premiere Pro.

is any difference if you do it with camera raw filter or with hue/saturation and curves?

an idea for a tutorial i would like to see would be to add colour and contrast to clouds to really boost the impact of an image.
