Any chance you could post one on the best way to replace windows (like from an interior of a house). I shoot real estate photography and have always found that incredibly tedious. I know there's gotta be a better way. Great tutorial. Any chance you could post one on the best way to replace windows (like from an interior of a house).

Pull a matte from your channels. This may be one of the best ways to get a selection. just find a channel with the most contrast, copy and paste it in your channels and then crank your levels. . . you can paint out any odd bits and select that channel as your matte. 2.) and every once in a while using the extract filter does the trick. it took me a bit to find it again, since it's an optional plug-in you now can download for free here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Photoshop/11.0/WSCAC4D084-6AB1-483a-B264-6336B4888649.html 3.) When you've made your selections: using the Layer/Matting/Defringe (set it to 1px) will help get rid of all that blue sky residue left around your edges. Three other worthy selection tricks to know:

You're a very good inspiration to all of us non-primate-mortals here. Love your site and you portfolio work. Was wondering if you'd be willing enough to share some photography and post processing info on (I'll have to explain it in a sentence) At times with really nice clouds but really sunny as well, it's hard to get a properly exposed foreground on a properly exposed cloudy summer sky without off flash. How would I take one ? Underexpose it manually and edit it in photo shop ? Overexpose the sky in order to get the person properly exposed and then under expose sky ? Thanks and thanks for the stop motion tut. 50mm and remote on their way :)) Best wishes and hope you'll do good, Vick from Romania Timisoara Hey Gorilla :) Nice work man on your tutorials.

You made a first (free) tutorial with Aperture and now it's Bridge. Sometimes in the tutorial it looks like you discover Bridge with us. Can you tell what's motivate that change ? Hi,

It's always interesting to see others use Photoshop, even though I know the program quite a bit I end up learning something trivial and quite obvious in the end. Keep up the good work dude ^_^ Great vid tute.
