I spent Saturday afternoon with Robert Scoble and Thomas Hawk filming future episodes of Scoble's hot new video cast, the ScobleShow. Scoble filmed me walking "photowalker" Hawk through some techniques for processing his photos in Photoshop.

If you've been watching the ScobleShow, you know that Hawk and Scoble have done a series of Photowalking episodes in which Hawk shares his techniques while shooting. Processing Hawk's digital photos in Photoshop takes the idea one intriguing step further. Interacting on camera was an interesting and novel way to teach Photoshop in a podcast. I think you're really going to like it.

I'll post a link here as soon as Scoble posts the first of the Photoshop episodes on the ScobleShow. In the meantime, enjoy Hawk's photos at Zooomr (a cool photo-sharing site of which Hawk is the CEO), and check out Scoble's and Hawk's posts about the fun day we had Photoshopping and hanging out in Half Moon Bay.

Learn how sharpening works in Photoshop. This show covers what sharpening does, how to make a composite layer for sharpening, when to sharpen, and how to avoid changing image colors when you sharpen.

Stay tuned for the next couple of shows, where you will put these general sharpening principles to work sharpening photographs with the Unsharp Mask and Smart Sharpen filters.

I'll be offering more Photoshop tips on the upcoming October 10 episode of the popular iLifeZone podcast [iTunes link], which I'll be guest hosting along with regulars Derrik Story and Scott Bourne. Check it out.
