The Grain effect in Camera Raw now varies from image to image to facilitate editing time-lapse and video frame sequences.

Join me today, Thursday February 27th,  from 10:45 am – 12:15 am on creativeLIVE for 90 minutes of “Working with Video in Photoshop” during Photoshop Week. The best news is that the courses are free during the live broadcast! And, if you’re in a different time zone, the sessions will be rebroadcast. See the complete schedule and RSVP here.

Several weeks ago I gave a talk on how to work with time lapse image sequences in Photoshop. After the presentation, one of the attendees  shared with me a card he had created to help him determine how many exposures he would need to create the desired length of video with the  desired frame rate. Jim graciously agreed to share his “helper”  on his blog for us to download in case we find ourselves in the field without a calculator. (Click here for Jim Smith’s blog) Thanks Jim!

Even with the fantastic new Blur Gallery in Photoshop CS6, the Lens Blur filter is an essential tool  when a high degree of control is needed to selectively (and realistically) blur an image. In this video tutorial (Using the Lens Blur Filter on an Image Sequence in Photoshop CS6), Julieanne uses the Lens Blur filter with a depth map to create a series of images that appear as if they were captured with a tilt-shift lens. Julieanne also demonstrates how to quickly apply this filter to multiple images using actions and batch processing.
