TUTORIAL: You Suck at Photoshop by Matt Bledsoe and Troy Hitch

A oldie (cut me some slack I only started this blog up three days ago and working through a serious back log of quality posting material.) but a goodie. Once again a tough call, as to whether this was better placed in the Comical category but there is a lot of solid Photoshop advice packaged in a black comedic box. The world of photoshop tutorials was ripe for a parody and Matt Bledsoe and Troy Hitch of the Big Fat Institute for Advanced Interactive Design delivered.   

Now in it's third season, you can find more in the series at his You Suck at Photoshop Youtube channel [link]Word of advice just don't recommend, it to your 8 year old who just got SC6 and want to learn how to use it.     

TUTORIAL: Autofocus Fine Tuning by easy exposure

Is your cameras autofocus spot on? 

A very informative, comprehensive and easy to understand tutorial on autofocus fine tuning, by Easy Exposure [link]. You may have the best lens and camera combination that money can buy, but if the auto focus is off by a smidgen, kiss the sharpest possible eyes goodbye in that textbook portrait (using a Canon 85mm f1.2 shooting at f1.2) kind of way (assuming here you are using autofocus (if you are using manual focus well it's you not the camera so get your eyes checked [link] and or diopter adjusted [link] )). You owe it to your paying customers to be spot on each time and until Lytro [link] comes out with a more professional grade model that doesn't make you look like you are shooting the entire campaign on a mobile phone or a new focal plane shifting tool ships with CS7 you better get with the program.
