    I like outdoor photography: old structures, city buildings and, yes, nature during my hiking trips. All of which are an opportunity for me to put a serious twist on when editing,

    Nice tutorial Colin. I’ve been using PS for quite a few years and never used a Frame before – shock, horror.
    This technique is really useful. Thank you. I’m halfway through the Lightroom Classic course already and learning tons of stuff.
    BTW I very pleased to see you actually play that guitar (pretty well as it happens) and that it’s not just supercool wall art. Luvin’ those pinched harmonics.

      Thanks. Everything should have a purpose and not be “poser art” 🙂
