Lesson 14. Dave Cross, Nassau, Bahamas

If this background looks familiar, it should. It was taken at the same time and place as my shot of Matt earlier, but my problem isn’t the background this time, it’s getting the color cast off the camera and my buddy (and Photoshop User TV co-host) Dave Cross’s shirt. We can do some of the work in Camera Raw, but since the focus of the shot is the camera, we can pull a few Photoshop layer mask and sharpening tricks to make it really stand out, make it really sharp, and make the overall image really pop. The Clarity feature really does a wonderful job here, too.
