A Pair Of New Blog Tutorials For The Perfect Photo Suite

June 12, 2011 by Brian Matiash • Comments Off

Last week, two of our friends, Towner Jones and Ron Martinsen, posted some great content around the Perfect Photo Suite and we'd like to share them with you.

  • The first article by Towner is a fantastic screencast he recorded, showing a very creative way to use Perfect Layers 1.0 to generate a custom photo layout/collage. If you've been waiting to get a sneak preview of Perfect Layers 1.0, look no further than Towner's post!

  • Next up is a guest blog post by yours truly (Brian M) and is hosted by the ever-prolific Ron Martinsen. Ron had asked me to create a screenflow using several Perfect Photo Suite products to give a truly unique look to one of my images. Naturally, I went with a grungy UrbEx HDR photo and worked in some PhotoTools and FocalPoint love. You can check out the guest blog post on Ron's blog!

Thank you, Towner & Ron, for including us on your great blogs!

I was going through some of my photos from earlier this year and came across this one. As soon as I saw it, I thought of a couple of effects in PhotoTools that I had to try on it.

Here is the original photo that I shot back in January 2011.

New PhotoTools HDR Preset Expansion Pack!

January 24, 2011 by Brian Matiash • 3 Comments

When we updated PhotoTools 2.6, we added a new category of presets that work really well with HDR images. It turns out that they were very popular, so we expanded the category with some new HDR presets that you can download and import into PhotoTools for free.

We've also put together a quick video tutorial showing you how you can import these presets into PhotoTools, as well as share your existing presets with other PhotoTools users.

HDR Q&A with Brian Matiash

October 6, 2010 by Mike Wong • 3 Comments

Last week, we posted the recorded version of one of our most popular and well attended webinars - Creating UrbEx & Grunge HDR with Brian Matiash (watch it in the onOne University). There were so many questions from the audience that we couldn't get to all of them in the webinar, but Brian was kind enough to take some time this week and answer the ones we didn't get to during the presentation.

All questions listed below are the exact questions that were typed into our webinar room. I may have edited a comment or two for spelling, capitalization or punctuation, but other than that, these are the questions that were asked. I've added some context in brackets to make it more clear to those who may have missed the webinar or don't remember the questions. All questions were answered personally by Brian, so please be sure to thank him!

41 questions answered after the jump.

Brian Matiash webinar - HDR and PhotoTools

September 30, 2010 by Mike Wong • Comments Off

Recently, we had our most popular and highest attended webinar yet. Brian Matiash, a good friend and amazing photographer, did a one hour webinar that showed how he uses PhotoTools 2.5 Professional Edition to enhance and stylize his HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography and images.

Earlier this week, I posted the recorded webinar to the onOne University so if you missed it or just want to watch it again, head over there now and you can watch it for free.

We're still working on getting all of the questions that were asked answered and when we do, we'll post them here on the blog. Thanks to all of you who attended and thank you also to our good friends over at X-Rite for co-sponsoring the webinar with Brian.
