Photoshop's Content Aware Scale tool doesn't get much headline time thanks to other popular features like Content Aware Move and, of course, the vilified Liquify toll, but it can come in extremely handy in a few minutes.
Kitty Fisher's insight:
Consider this a form of after processing, turning that square shaped image into the landscape photo you wish it turned out to be in the first place. Can happen with the Liquify tool, and here is how you use it.

Now that the selfie has been tacitly endorsed by none other than Anne Leibovitz, fans of this particular photographic medium are free to say "eff the haters" and post as many #nomakeup photos as they want. And using Cheryl Andersen's Selfie app, they can also retouch their selfies with reckless abandon.
Kitty Fisher's insight:
Cheryl Andersen says that with the Selfie App we are all a little narcissistic? That doesn't seem to be too far off from the truth. Keeping that in mind this interview explains even more in depth this is in fact a truth and not necessarily a bad idea.

Maybe we love the idealized, filtered world on our screens so much that reality doesn�t suffice.
Kitty Fisher's insight:

French photographer Francois Dourlen gets creative using nothing more than his surroundings and an iPhone, but he's not an iPhoneographer. No, his iPhone is a subject of every one of his images.
Kitty Fisher's insight:
A window to the soul? What about a window to a film or tv show that has found it's rightful home in the hands of Francois Dourlen. Who without a doubt takes these stills from films or shows and places them in the environment that a particular scene took place.

A series of images captured with the De Oude Delft 50mm f/0.75 lens. Ironically enough it was created for the use of X-rays, yet looking at these photos will make your jaw-drop from the exquisite beauty.

Before watching the video tutorial on how to edit underwater photography with Lightroom and Photoshop, I think it is important to understand that it is critical to start with underwater photos that are already high quality right out of camera.
Kitty Fisher's insight:
Enhancing these underwater images, is what this tutorial is all about. Not fixing or re-doing while using Photoshop. But taking that spectacular already shot image and bringing out the tools to make it even brighter.
