Photoshop Elements 9, which is available for Mac and Windows users, includes several interesting new features–as well as one very significant change for Mac users. On the editing side of things, you’ll find that the Spot Healing Brush now offers a Content Aware option that attempts to erase unwanted objects by analyzing the surrounding image—whether it’s a rocky landscape or grove of trees—and guessing at what the missing background should look like.

It’s a great timesaver for tasks like fixing torn photos or removing strangers. The new Content Aware option in the Spot Healing Brush can make quick work of repairing old photos. For those who are looking to mimic a particular look, but aren’t sure how to go about it, Elements 9 adds new quick-fix tools. The new Out Of Bounds option in Guided Edit mode.

Photography is all about exposure, or the light that is allowed to be let in when a photo is taken. Learning how to adjust exposure to get the effect you’re looking for is one of the things all photographers have to eventually learn, and one of the easiest examples of this is taking a photo of a silhouette against a sunrise or sunset.

In the photo above, I exposed for the sky. “Exposing for the sky” means I told my camera that I wanted to capture all the beauty and color variations of the sky and not to worry about letting enough light in to see my baby. By “telling my camera” I mean that I made the necessary adjustments and tweaks to my camera settings to make sure the sky was properly exposed. In this case, I took the easy road and simply dialed back the exposure compensation until it let in less and less light…to the point that I was satisfied that it was capturing the sunset accurately.

Anyway, short little lesson this morning. Photographers, please feel free to weigh in! Love, P-Dub. MCP Actions Blog - Photography Techniques, Photoshop Actions, Tutorials.

When we started working on the newborn actions in 2011, we wanted a product that would help the growing industry of newborn photographers.
