2 - Levels Adjustment (Running Time: 3:11)
You may already know the basics of the levels adjustment tool, but in this video, Geoff Riggs will show you a neat little trick you may not have known. Using this method you'll be able to very quickly and effectively adjust the brightness and contrast of your image in a very intuitive manner.

Got an action photograph that doesn't quite seem to have enough action in it? In this tutorial, trainer Geoff Riggs will show you how to add a motion blur to an otherwise bland action shot in order to bring it alive. This technique uses a combination of the Motion Blur filter as well as the History Brush.
6 - Neutral Density Filter Effect (Running Time: 2:55)
If you're not a photographer, you might have no idea what a neutral density filter effect is, but in this video, you'll learn how to create just such an effect. Basically, you'll learn how to darken up the sky in an image where the sky just happens to be a little too bright.

Have you ever wanted to have a little more control over the things you can do to your drop shadows? In this Photoshop tutorial, Geoff Riggs will show you how to send layer effects to their own layers so that you can deal with them separately from the objects that the effects are associated with.
13 - Smoothing Skin (Running Time: 2:29)
Sometimes the camera does TOO good a job of capturing all the details, especially when it comes to skin. A close-up portrait can sometimes reveal tiny bumps and roughness that we might not want to see. In this video, you'll learn a very effective technique for smoothing out your skin in Photoshop.
14 - Steel Text Effect (Running Time: 6:09)
The great thing about text effects is that they're usually very easy to reproduce. In this tutorial, trainer Geoff Riggs will show you how to make a steel text effect, and then he'll show you how to save this effect so that it can easily be applied to other layers in the future.
15 - Straightening the Horizon (Running Time: 2:10)
Unless you have some kind of level attached to your camera, you probably don't always hold it perfectly flat. And sometimes the horizon comes out a little more slanted than we might want. In this video, Geoff Riggs takes a photo with a slanted horizon and shows you how to use Photoshop's "Measure" tool to fix it.

19 - Warping Text with Smart Objects (Running Time: 3:19)
There are many ways to warp text in Photoshop, but most of them have their limitations. Some methods allow you to edit your text after warping, but don't provide full customization of HOW you warp the text. Other methods allow full customization but don't allow you to edit the text afterwards. In this tutorial, Geoff Riggs will show you a method for warping text that will give you the best of both worlds.
20 - Working with Text (Running Time: 5:21)
