Alibony Photos and Lessons is the companion blog to the Alibony web site, where you can find videos and lessons for Photoshop Elements and photography. Both sites are designed and maintained by Karen Brockney, a retired Web communications professional.
The Alibony Photos and Lessons Blog is published several times a week and contains photos, news, tips, tutorials, links to other bloggers, and anything else I find interesting at the moment.
Love your video tuts….very helpful and instructive. I’ve emailed them to all my PS buddies. We really appreciate your efforts. I look forward to the new blog. Good Luck!
cheers lots, I have to announce that your website is amazing!
Just discovered your website – I’ve watched only a few videos so far and have learned SO MUCH! Thanks so much for sharing your expertise – much appreciated!!
Many thanks for your tutorials… I’m very happy to find your website. “Bravo Bravo” from Italy.
I LOVE your site. I am truly a novice. I have learned so much from looking and reading on your site. I like the fact that you are not afraid to try new things and not hesitate about telling us exactly how you took the picture (even software) and what did and did not work. Thanks for the encouragement.
I have been following your daily pictures. It has inspired me to try and replicate some of your pictures. I am now ready to step up to an SLR camera and I have decided to purchase a Canon T3i. (I also looked at the NIkon d5100).
I think I would benefit from the 18-135 rather than the 18-55. I noticed that some of your pictures are in the 160 range. Also I though I would add a longer lens such as the 55-250 for shooting pictures of my grandkids during their games.
1. Is this a good combination?
2. When you go past 55mm do you use another lens?
3. Any advice will help
In closing, I am becoming a better photographer through looking at your photos…thank you

because i love photochrom and your results look good, i just cna’t get the step # 5, cause on my photoshop 11.0.2 i can’t see what i got to do.
It’s like two hours i try and try and .. get mad
your result looks so good i won’t sleep if i don’t find the solution …
Thank you for a great year of inspiration. Your examples have motivated me to get out there aswell as creating more interesting photogaphs.
My new T3i is working very well. Can you suggest what Topaz software I should strat with? I can’t afford the entire bundle but would like to start somewere and build from there.
Wishing you a most healthy and peaceful New Year,
Thom
Hi Thom, If you can only buy one plug-in, I would suggest starting with Topaz Adjust. It is so versatile and you can learn how the Topaz interface works with Adjust. You’ll soon find that you’ll want to add other Topaz plug-ins, too. I ended buying the bundle because I was just adding individual plug-ins and it was so much more cost-effective if I was going to buy them anyways! Digital Photography School has a discount offer today for 20% any of the plug-ins and the bundle. When you order from the Topaz site, use the discount code: DPS12DAYS. Have fun!
