Wildlife Photography How To

Today's six-minute tutorial from VerticDesigns demonstrates Photoshop's amazing new AI Generative Upscaler that quickly transforms enlarged photos from pixelated to perfect like never before. It's a must-watch video whether you’re a beginner or a more experienced user.

The Super Zoom tutorial below doesn't involve shooting with long telephoto lenses; rather, it's all about how to use Photoshop's oft-ignored Super Zoom neural filter. This powerful tool enables you alter the appearance of a photo by zooming in and cropping a portion of the image before Photoshop takes over and adds extra pixels to compensate for the subsequent loss of resolution and detail.

Photographing wildlife presents special challenges, especially if you own a compact camera. You may not have the powerful lenses that professionals use, but you can still do nicely with a moderate telephoto setting on your point-and-shoot camera, if it has one.

I knew the ship would very quickly start to roll in the opposite direction, so no attempt was made to stand. Instead I waited on the floor, arms wrapped around a table leg, for a moment of relative calm. Good morning, and welcome to the Drake Passage.

Technical skills are undoubtedly important, but sometimes they're not enough to capture images with maximum impact. That's because even if you know your way around the camera your images will suffer if you're not equally adept at composing scenes in the field.

We've all suffered the disappointment of capturing what we thought was a spectacular photograph, only to return home, pull it up on the computer, and discover that the image is painfully soft. Maybe the problem was camera or subject movement, incorrect camera settings, or some other mistake, and other times we can't even identify the culprit.

Most photographers understand why shooting in Raw provides maximum image detail and other key attributes that contribute to ultimate image quality. Another benefit of using this format is that it delivers far more control during the image-editing process.
