Ranging from electronics to around the house kind of jobs, I fix it provides a wide variety of manuals and guides for people to read and follow.

It’s a free to use application that you can download from the Microsoft app store and can provide information on technology, vehicles, appliances, electronics, game consoles, and much more. So if you have something around the house, or something very specific that needs fixed or repaired, or even just needing general information, give the Ifixit Application a try.

Photoshop Lesson: Editing with Adjustment Layers

Yes I know it has been a while since I wrote anything for the site. But don’t worry; I come barring a helpful video for those who want to learn some cool tricks with Photoshop. I won’t go into detail on my absence, but I am glad to be back.

In this video I will show you how to use a cool little feature called “Adjustment layers”. What are adjustment layers? They are layers that are considered to be filter effects with a masking ability. Meaning you can fix the image through a separate layer without having to use the undo feature so many times. Why is this helpful? Your history on Photoshop only goes back so far. Once you reach the limit of the undo button, there is only so much you can do.

Not only does this make adding and removing effects so much easier, but it also provides an excellent end result. There is a catch, to use this feature you need to have the brush tool selected. From there you only use two colors. Black and white. One removes the effect and the other adds the effect back.

There will be more videos like this to come. In fact the next video will be handling some image fixing tools.
