It's the Christmas Edition Q&A and we've got questions about what DSLR camera to buy for $1200, what photo editing software to use, adapters for getting MORE light through a lens, adjusting exposure in Manual Mode and more!
The Photoshop & Lightroom Math:
The standalone price for both Photoshop and Lightroom (when photoshop was still available as a standalone program) was $850 (Photoshop for $700 + Lightroom for $1500
The Creative Cloud Photography program is $10 a month and gets you both Photoshop and Lightroom.
With the Creative Cloud subscription you always have the most up to date versions of Photoshop and Lightroom.
With the standalone software you have the versions you purchased and any updates issued to that software version, but new version releases (roughly every two years) required upgrade purchases.
For the one time price of purchasing the software as a standalone product, you get the up to date Creative Cloud package for 85 months, or just over 7 years. (850 / 10 = 85)
But with the standalone software, in two years (24 months), if you wanted the new version of Photoshop you’d need to pay a $300 upgrade price. For a new version of Lightroom you pay a $79 upgrade price.
So if the software is updated every two years, in order to stay up to date over the same seven years of using Creative Cloud, you’d need to upgrade three times, spending an additional $1137.
That same $1137 will get you the Creative Cloud subscription for another 113 months (9.4 years) (assuming the monthly price of $10)
So in my opinion, the monthly cost of $10 for the most up to date versions of Lightroom and Photoshop is a hell of a deal!

Magic Wand
First, the subject needs to be cut out from the background. A great tool for this is the Magic Wand tool! Start selecting, and hold Shift to add to that selection when needed. A helpful aspect of this tool is that you can change the tolerance; if you’re selecting too much, lower the tolerance.
The hair is a little trickier than the rest of the body, and we must refine the edge of the selection. Go to Select - Refine Edge. Choose the best view to help you out; in this case, we use the overlay view. Click on the refine edge tool, and paint over the edges of the hair. Doing this will momentarily “erase” the mask from those edges, but will then select only what is similar to the remaining mask. In other words, it should perfectly select out only the hair.
We are going to use this selection to create a layer mask, and we want that mask to apply to all of our future layers. So, put the layer into a group, and put the layer mask onto that group rather than the layer itself. Now, any layers you add to the group will have the same mask applied to them, and you won’t have to worry about creating a new mask of your subject over and over. Step and Repeat
To see how this process works, start by creating any shape and filling it with black. Next, turn it into a selection (hold Cmd and click on the layer).
Step: Opt + Cmd + T to select the pattern. Move it to where you’d like and click enter.
Repeat: Hold Shift + Opt + Cmd + T. This will repeat the duplication that you just completed.
Custom Patterns
Dark patterns on a light background are best for making custom patterns. Go to Edit - Define Pattern. Name it and click OK. Nothing will happen until you go back to the image of your subject and apply it there. Create a new fill layer and select Use: pattern. Select your new pattern in the custom pattern drop down. You can choose different options in the scripted pattern section as well.
Helpful hints:
Photographing your subject on a solid colored background is key for this! To turn any layer into a selection, just hold Ctrl/Cmd and click on the thumbnail of the layer. Multiply is a great blend mode if you want your pattern to show up but include shadows as well. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

@paolomore PicsArt Editing Tutorial I created this technique only with PicsArt I show all the steps in real time, from Draw tools (layers) to Add photo Njoy!
Photoshop is an amazing tool that can help you with more than just retouching photographs; it can be used to create illustrations as well! In today's episode, we show you how to turn a photo into what looks like a hand-drawn illustration.
Creating a custom brush
The goal for this episode is to create a drawing that looks like chalk on a chalkboard. The first and essential step in this process is to create a custom "chalk brush." We do this by going into the brush window and altering the characteristics of the brush. We increase the size, flow, opacity and angle jitter, as well as change the tip shape and lessen the spacing. There are many little details in this brush that help create a chalky effect.
Using Levels and Channels to create a selection
There are many ways to create a selection, and for this particular image we use the lights and darks in our image to do so. We bring our dark and white points up with Levels to create a graphic version of the image. A selection is then created from a copy of a Channel layer. This only selects the light parts and not the darks, so we want to inverse the selection. We are left with a lovely selection of the darks from our image.
Turning the selection into a Pen Path
Did you know you can turn any selection into a Pen Path?
All we have to do is click on the paths tab, and then click on the "Make Work Path from Selection" button. This simulates what would happen if we were to actually take a pen and follow the lines of the selection. After our path is created, we can stroke the path with our custom brush! This step is what really turns what was once a regular image into a chalk drawing.
We can always go back into the drawing with our chalk brush to add some finishing touches.

The white background has become a standard in the photography world and for good reasons. You can pick up a white seamless background for less than $100, turning any space into a photo studio.
Backdrop paper is also ideal for cutting people out of their backgrounds or eliminating distractions. Many popular celebrity portraits were photographed in hotel rooms using a roll of white seamless paper.
Because your subjects will be standing on a giant sheet of white paper, chances are the paper is going to get dirty. In today's episode we show you how to clean a backdrop in Photoshop.
Clean Backdrop using Median Filter
The fastest way to clean a background in Photoshop is by using Photoshop's Filters. We found that the Median filter works very well and saves a ton of time. Go to Filter - Noise - Median and choose a radius that will make all the dirt vanish. Be sure to do this on a copy of your background layer so you can use a layer mask and just have this effect show up over the background.
If you have any areas that the Median Filter missed, take care of them with the healing brush tool and you are good to go!
