#Duplicate Photos Remover Software

[heartpulseproject]

Since you don't see many edits here, and i am a dumbass in editing, could you make a tutorial on it? Like: what apps should we use, what should or shouldn't do, devices, etc. Since i personally worship your editing prowess, i couldn't help myself but ask for your guidance sensei. 🙇‍♀️

I don't use a "special device" to make my edits, just a computer which can run a videoediting software and Wallpaper Engine correctly (in my case it's an Apple Mac Pro 4,1 from 2009 with upgraded RAM and GPU, and also with Windows 10 installed on it, but that's not important). My server pc build out of my spare parts, and it's serves as a network bridge, and a file storge (like a NAS, or something) to store my personal files, like the assets for the edits on HPP. The way I make my edits, is a different story. I like to put the charaters in different scenarios to make the edit more enjoyable. I usually chose one image from my pre-granarated ones, or I use (if i see a, as i call an edit "suspicious" image here on Tumblr or X) an image from my "Likes", or if I can't find any which is good for the scanario in my head I generate one using PixAI's Ebora Pony XL AI model. Than if I have an image, I put together a static version of the edit in Paint.NET (PaintdotNET). Here I cut down the unnecessary and the broken (weirdly generated hands, .etc) parts of the image, and I remove the background if I'd like to use a different one. Than I chose a stethoscope png what are suitable for the edit, but I recently using the hand with stethoscope one which you can see in my recent edits. I also make some barely visble changes to the main image and the stething image. If it's done, and looks good I save them (the base image, the background, and the steting png separately) in a folder. After that it's time to "animate" the edit, which is just using the Wallpaper Engine's built in Shake effect, if that part is done, I record the animated soundless edit using OBS, which is usually a 5-6 minutes raw mp4 file. Than I put the raw recording into the video editor which is my case is the Wondershare Filmora X. I chose one of the heartbeat and bearthing audios from my server (if it's needed I modify it a bit in Audacity), and speed them up to mach with the animation. I make the breathing way quieter to have the heartbeat in focus, also i duplicate the hb sound to make a stereo effect, which means the I make the left side a bit louder and add more bass to it than the right side, which make a really good heart pulse effect (ROLL CREDITS). Also in here I add some video effects, cut down the unnecessary parts, I cut down the video to 2 minutes to become uploadable for X, than it's time to export it. After I exported the final edit, i check it for mistakes and I fix them if i find any, and the fixed version gonna be uploaded to Tumblr and X. This whole process is 2+ hours usually, but it's could be more for longer and more complex edits. But you doesn't need to follow my way to make edits, if you ever used a photo editor and a video editor before, and you know how put a transparent png on an image, and a greenscreen video on another one, you good to go. There is a lot of ways you can make an edit, so you can chose one which are suitable for you. If you still need help, you can join the Cardio Editor's Hub, there are lot of other people who gladly gives you some tips and tricks. Good luck, have fun! :D

How do I manage to cite thousands of photos?

I have officially passed 1,000 posts cited on this blog! That's 1000 posts of riots, exercises, mildly disgruntled guys in balaclavas, whatever.

If you were wondering if I do all the citing myself, you'd be correct! Every citation has been agonizingly researched by me. Is it a waste of time? Definitely. But I'm too far in to stop now...

However, it's not all by hand. I'm a software developer by trade, so I did make something to help with citation. Using the Tumblr API, these are the tools I made to make the process just a bit less painful!

You may have noticed all of my posts follow a certain format. Well, this is why! The citations view brings up my most recent unattributed post for me to add a citation to. Then, I can search multiple reverse image websites to find the source!

Google Lens is usually best for most things (even Russian pictures on VK and official military websites). TinEye is great for photos that are heavily cropped, or are stock, since they're sponsored by Adobe and Alamy. Everything else, including Yandex, kind of sucks.

I can also create new posts using this tool, which you've probably seen recently:

Throughout it all I've developed an auto tagging system that picks up on keywords inside the posts I write. This list goes on and on! Who knew there were so many special forces with three letter acronyms...

BRI SEK AOS KSK BAC B2R CDI DSI СБУ DSU BMD KSM SAS JTF! Which ones can you name?

You may have seen me delete posts that you liked. That was the job of the duplicate remover, which helps me find and delete identical posts. Even I forget what I've reblogged...

Of course, I have to fetch all 6000 images first and compare them using a unique "perceptual hash", but... it's worth it!

Through all my editing, posting, sorting, and loading, I need to keep an eye on the Tumblr API limits. I can actually reach them with the amount of posts I'm making...

And that's pretty much it! I probably won't release the tool since I doubt anyone would actually want to waste time doing this, but I'm pretty proud of it.

I might make a post later about the things I've found, but here are some fun facts:

France and Germany make up almost half of my entire list. For reference, the USA is about 40!

137 posts are marked with #needs-attribution, or about one in ten. 14 are under #needs-more-info. The sources for these are lost to time :(

There's a limit of 1000 likes per day. I've reached it...

There's a limit of 1000 posts in the queue, which I've pretty much been at since I started this blog. However, my current "cited" backlog is about 10 days long at 25 posts per day.

I still have about 3500 posts left to go before everything's done...

Thanks for sticking with me as I add summaries to posts that most people would have probably liked more if it was just the picture :^)

Maybe my captions are making things... too real?

Covers Bookbinding for beginners by a beginner- The Home Stretch

*drinks half a gallon of coffee*

COVERS!

You've gotten your typeset done for the fic, you've battled the demon that is your printer, folded pages, stitched pages, glued pages, glued end pages, and end bands. Made the cover, covered the cover in potentially homemade book cloth.

Now it's time to design a cover.

It's time to make this thing into a fully functioning book and slide it on your shelf and have a nice bout of "Laying on the Floor while Questioning the Human Condition (TM)".

There are a few options.

It depends on what you want.

I can only take you so far with Cricut/vinyl applications. But I researched enough to maybe, MAYBE give you the run down on at least how to get your cover from Canva to the software to cut out your vinyl. I'll start there since this is what I know the least.

Open up your version of Canva.

Make a document, I've seen some fanbinders make all this in the cricut software but I can only smile and nod along. But for me- this is the best I've figured:

go to the search bar and type in book cover (or use the drop down menu) click on a random template.

Fiddle and fart your way into a design you like. Text and Font Options are available in drop down menus and find some designs that are "Easy to Weed" which I understand as "Getting rid of all the stuff that's not going on the cover".

For Example:

Do you like it? It took me 40 seconds, I'm very proud of it. But this isn't to impress you really I just need to show you how to save your file so you can make the leap from one software application to the next.

Hit "Share", Hit "Download", File Type- Hit the down arrow, Hit "PNG" I missed this for the first few times--- BUT!

Click the "Transparent Background"

If you're doing more than one colour Vinyl you're going to duplicate the page that is located right next to the lock icon above the document. Hit that. Delete the stuff that you want to be different colours. Otherwise it will just cut everything out as one colour and I've seen some vinyl covers that get damn fancy.

You can also build a title cover just measure the spine and height of your spine and rotate your text to horizontal if you please.

Now for how I do mine. I use Printable Iron On Vinyl. Keynote there is a difference, there is stuff for light fabrics, and stuff for dark. Choose for what your primary book cloth will be but the paper itself will be white.

Make your design.

I have 3 different covers for Celestial Navigation by Sabrecmc just because of how LARGE the fic itself is. I had to split the text block up for ease of handling.

I saved as a PNG, and loaded up my fancy printable vinyl into my printer and went through the software for printing, I had to do some fiddling but for my purposes I had to get the whole cover in the right size on the page- it took some fiddling yours might be simpler it might be more complex. But once I got it printed I trimmed off the white and was left with a peel-able rather velvety feeling thing.

Remove the backing. Get the iron on and go low and slow with the provided barrier material to prevent melting and damage to the print you've just done.

I made spines as well and made an 11 x 8.5 (Or brochure template)

And lined up my spines accordingly as to not waste materials. There will be grids that pop up automatically to let you know if things line up.

Print them out on the "highest quality" out put for your photo software.

It peels like a sticker. It may take a bit to get it going.

Line it up as nicely as you can on the cover (double check on the still exposed board).

There is a protective sheet that comes with it USE IT. Set your iron to a low heat and move it around frequently.

If you're in a relatively humid area (I live in a coastal town so the humidity is pretty high all year). Have a heavy book to squish your covers down with to try and get out any bends that may happen post ironing (also why we want low and slow).

Leave to cool.

Now you have a text block and a cover.

For all intents and purposes for my demonstration I'm leaving the spine off and am redoing everything with this fic from the ground up. There are aspects and mistakes that I have made that have irked my brain. So I will be leaving the spines off for this round. This is the learning curve and since a lot have things have clicked into place since beginning this series that have given me the "AH HA! CLARITY!" moment. I have completely reworked EVERYTHING in my text block of Celestial Navigation. Plus I've a perfectionist issue that is a lot milder than what it was.

But these two text blocks will work as my "Ground Zero" and will be the books I compare all potential future binds too.

As a note that I said in the beginning of this endeavor:

THIS IS FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. FOR THE LOVE OF FUCK DO NOT SELL WORK THAT DOES NOT BELONG TO YOU!!!! YOU HAVE ASKED PERMISSION (I dearly hope) TO DO THIS DO NOT BREAK TRUST WITH THE AUTHOR.

IF You want to offer a copy to the author- GO FOR IT. Close friend that is showing interest in the fic?? Sure ok.

But if you sell it for monetary gain? I hope you stub your toe, and just before it finally heals you stub your toe again and may all your breakfast cereal turn to slugs.

DO NOT BE A DICK. I am writing this whole 'How To' Series as an experiment of Good Faith that you, the potential binder, will do right by the community and not compound an issue that has been cropping up. Etsy sellers, and this horrible Facebook community that will steal other's typesets, and begin selling them.

Like I said- this is a breech in Fair Use.

Now with that lecture, again, out of the way lets settle the rest of this series.

You will need:

Glue

Book Press

glue brush

Wax Paper.

Your Cover.

Your Text block.

Get your textblock and cover lined up with some wax paper in the middle of the decorative pages (if you're doing them other wise the page you glue down to the cover and the rest of the text block.

Fiddle, fart and dry fit until you are satisfied.

Lay down a layer of glue on the page NOT THE COVER ITSELF.

DON'T BE ME. I FUCKED UP HARDCORE AND DID THE COVER WITH THE GLUE. HOOOOO NELLY LET ME TELL YOU HOW BADLY THAT FUCKED SHIT UP.

HOW BAD WAS IT? BAD. VERY BAD. DON'T BE LIKE ME THAT FIRST ROUND, BE LIKE ME ON THE SECOND ROUND AND PUT GLUE ON THE END PAGE.

Line up the textblock for a final time and then apply the paper to the cover open the textblock and smooth what you just glued down. Flip over and repeat.

Then add weight to the text block put it back in your press, or if you're like me and have a reprint in the press just throw books atop the block.

Allow glue to cure over night.

Shiver, shudder, and lay on the floor. Your fic is now a book that you can put on your shelf.

Welcome to the wild wild world of bookbinding.

I've been your host trying their best to explain all the things.

I will likely continue this series with "OK SO I LEARNED SOME SHIT ALL THAT SHIT I WROTE BEFORE FEEL FREE TO LISTEN BUT I'VE GOT BETTER SOLUTIONS NOW" time stuff.

hi sel! i was wondering if you had any tips or tricks or advice for making fic banners and dividers? yours are always so cohesive! ❤️🧡💛���💙💜

hi nonie! omg i'm so flattered you asked me this 🥺 i’m happy you like them!! admittedly, i am a bit particular about the aesthetics of my fics, but don't really expect anyone to notice 😭

i am by no means a designer! but i'll share a few of the things that have worked for me 🥺 under the cut will be what i do for sizing, editing, and inspo!

SIZING (w x h dimensions, 300 dpi)

› banners: 1280 x 320 for my thicker banners. 1280 x 249 for my thinner ones. i've been preferring the thicker ones lately just because i prefer how it looks on the post compared to my thinner ones (more balanced and stuff!)

› dividers: 1280 x any size you want or 500 x 5. i have both jpg (thinner) and png (thicker) versions for my dividers, mainly because my jpg ones stopped working after a while* 😭 i use the png ones more now because the actual image itself is also bigger in height; there are transparent spaces above the bar itself that allow more control over the space your divider will have between text (please let me know if this is confusing! i'm not sure if i'm explaining it well).

*tumblr can be really selective with the media it allows on the feed and tags, and for some reason, some dividers have been causing that problem 😭 i still haven't figured out what characteristics/factors exactly cause it, but i suspect it might be a combination of size + colours. i usually have to do test posts to make sure it appears!

i'm attaching some screenshots below for reference!

EDITING

› software: photoshop, figma. though i know there are others you can use (e.g., photopea, canva, picsart, etc.)! i just use these because i'm more accustomed to them 🥹

› process:

find a manga panel i like and clean it up (background removers can usually do the trick)

find colours i like and use it as the base for the background

*if using photoshop/figma/photopea: set the manga panel layer as 'multiply'

add the text

*for dividers: i usually just grab from the background of the banner (either i crop a portion of it or colour a long, thin rectangle the same colour)

attaching what my editing board looks like on figma! (i could be more organised but i usually do these things in such a rush i could never be bothered 😭)

› things i consider

for general fic banners: i like to keep a consistent format, which is: character panel + name + identifiable colour because they're the details that i'd like to inform people of first when they stumble upon my post! (some people will put fic titles too, which i don't do bc i can't be bothered to mess with the spacing 😭)

*keeping a consistent format also makes it easier to duplicate elements of your banners into other banners you'll be making! ex. if i'm writing 2 different gojo fics and decide to change what manga panel to use, at least i can always duplicate certain elements (i.e., name text) and find colours along a similar saturation/hue! it makes things a lot quicker and easier.

for event fic banners: i usually pattern it after the event banner itself! so for example, the fics under my 'how to be your loverboy' collab share similar elements (i.e., the wavy edge) to the main event banner. sometimes i use the same colours too (i.e., in's and out's event).

*on dividers not showing up on the dash: i notice it a lot more with light-coloured banners (some neutrals) and super thin ones. to find a way around this, i either change the colour and/or the size OR i'll find a photo that shares the colours i want and crop it to the size that i want (for some reason, it works this way 😭)

INSPO

i usually browse through pinterest for inspo on digital design stuff! i learned a bit of UX/UI so there's also a part of me that's influenced by its trends.

lately, i've been really into gradients! because it's a fun and easy way to make things look clean but not boring, and i think it can evoke the ~vibe of the fic based off the colours you end up choosing!

when i can't think of anything and want to come up with the banner quickly, i'll usually choose a photo/aesthetic i associate with the fic and blur the image until all you see are kind of blobs of colours. they're similar to gradients but have more shapes and require less of your brain power 😭 (i.e., by your passenger seat, and there's something...)

... and that's it!

sorry for this really lengthy post, i hope it's helpful nonie 🥹 let me know if you have any other questions/if anything is unclear!

[ijustdontlikepeople]

may I ask how you did this edit? it's a beautiful effect and I'd like to replicate it (only if you don't mind sharing, of course). tumblr.com/ijustdontlikepeople/739905108314324992

Hi anon! Thank you!! I’ve always been very fond of this guy and I am always happy to talk about making stuff!

It’s been a little while so my memory of the process is a little blurry and unfortunately, I cleaned out my project storage last week so I can’t go back layer by layer anymore but here’s the best of my memory

So, it started when I saw this base image and Davo looked very “heavy is the head that wears the crown” and I loved it

I brought it into PicsArt on my phone and cropped it so he was a bit more centered.

I went through the PicsArt stickers for an “orb” or “light burst” this is the one I used

To place the orb behind Davo like I wanted I added in another layer of that original photo, and removed the background until I just had Davo’s head

They should be layered original photo, burst, head, like above. Now you can see some spots in his hair and such that the orb light is not visible through so you go back through and erase bits of the Davo head layer. you don’t have to be too too particular about it bc the same photo of him is underneath.

If I remember right, the brightness of the orb wasn’t as high as I wanted so I doubled up on the same sticker

I think I one was centered over his left eye and then the other a few inches above it, and the i placed them both back behind the head layer again

Then added a sticker halo

Then I moved over to lens flare

I picked a light orangey one and placed one over his eye, lining it up with his Iris, then blending it with the light setting and duplicating the the layer and repeating for the other eye. I could have sworn that I gradually erased the edges so it faded into the rest of the photo but the software isn’t giving my an option to erase? So I’m not sure if that’s a change on their side or if I’m misremembering

From there, you apply and then go to FXs. (I may have tinkered with some color levels last time before this step but I don’t remember)

I’m not sure exactly which filters I used. I feel like there were two or three. I am about 80% sure I used these with roughly these specifics.

His face is cut out of PLRD which is done first than VINYL

So they didn’t turn out exactly the same but this about the gest. It’ll all be a little different depending on your starting photo. If you ever have any questions or just want to talk about what you’re making, my DMs and ask box are always open! I can give u my discord too if that’s easier! I hope this was a least a bit helpful!!

[theroyalthrones]

Your pictures and screenshots are so pretty though! How do you do it? I love your blog btw!!

Thank you!! I really appreciate you saying that! I'm not totally sure if you want a tutorial or not. I can't give you a step-by-step run down, since it's different every time. but I can tell you a few of the things that I do the most often. If you want yours to look a bit like mine!

I editing software I use is Photoshop. But there are many alternatives like Pixlr, and Gimp.

Another big factor that plays into the coloring and depth of an edit is by using Reshade. I couldn't do anything without it.

before and after with just Reshade

Next I hop into Photoshop. and do the basics that I do for every edit. that's what I'll show you today.

I would first crop it, if that's what I needed to do. but for this one I won't.

Then I would make one duplicate layer of the image, and then a blank layer. That blank layer would be put on multiply.

I use these layers to add shading and highlights. First I use the blank layer use the eyedrop tool (shortcut: I) to select the color in the shadows. and draw them on. Next I use Dodge tool (shortcut: O) to add highlights in the t-zones of their faces, in their eyes, on their jewelry, and in their hair.

before and after

The next steps are one after the other. and Illustrated below with letters. I do it in that order.

A. I merge the layers for the shadow and highlights.

B. This next step uses an action that I made for my editing. but you can replicate it one by one on any editing software. The Action makes my life easier, by editing the photo with settings that I've specified. I sharpen the image with it, adding a few shadows and highlights. You will have to find a specific setting that works with your photos, as each Reshade is different. this is just what works for me.

C. Lastly I put all of my PSD settings into a folder. and then saved all of those settings into my library. So All I have to do now is drag and drop everything over the image. and in most cases, I could be done.

C (continued).

This is how the image looks right after I put the PSD on. As you can see this is how I get the Letterbox effect. and how I write the dialogue. but I remove that for edits, of course.

This is what my layers look like. It's all quite organized, But the editing folder is where the magic really happens.

Although the pictures of settings might not help that much. but I can tell you most of these are just subtle changes. but all together they make something great.

So this is the before:

And this is the after

So all of that to say, This is the main coloring and editing for all my edits. but most of them are different. To get the magazine covers, I use the devilliers magazine PSDs for the most part. While they aren't available on Patreon anymore. @lucky-content uploaded them all onto SimsFileShare. You can find them here!

Anyway, that was a lot, but I hope it helps you or someone else! If this wasn't what you meant send me another, and I'll figure it out!

Boost Your Organization's Efficiency with Enterprise Digital Asset Management (DAM)

In today's fast-paced digital environment, organizations are inundated with vast volumes of digital content—images, videos, documents, presentations, and more. Managing these assets effectively is no longer a luxury; it’s a necessity. This is where Enterprise Digital Asset Management (DAM) systems come into play. Designed to centralize, organize, and streamline access to digital files, a DAM system significantly enhances productivity, consistency, and collaboration across departments.

What Is Enterprise Digital Asset Management?

Enterprise DAM is a centralized platform that allows businesses to store, organize, retrieve, and distribute digital assets from a single location. These systems go beyond basic cloud storage by offering features such as metadata tagging, version control, user permissions, workflow automation, and integration with other enterprise tools like content management systems (CMS), project management platforms, and marketing software.

For large organizations or those that manage a high volume of digital assets, a robust DAM system Contact us ensures that valuable content is easily accessible, properly cataloged, and secure.

Why Centralization Matters

Imagine a scenario where marketing teams, designers, sales personnel, and external vendors all need access to the same brand assets—logos, product photos, promotional videos, and templates. Without a DAM, these assets are often scattered across different computers, email threads, cloud drives, and hard disks. This leads to lost files, duplicated efforts, and inconsistencies in branding.

With a centralized DAM system:

All assets are stored in one secure, cloud-based hub.

Users can quickly find what they need using powerful search and filter functions.

Version control ensures that everyone uses the most up-to-date materials.

Redundant storage and asset duplication are minimized, saving time and space.

The result? A dramatic improvement in operational efficiency and reduced frustration among teams.

Enhanced Organization with Metadata and Tagging

One of the core features of an enterprise DAM is the ability to add metadata and tags to digital assets. This structure makes it easier to search and categorize assets based on criteria such as type, date, campaign, usage rights, or even color and format.

By enabling advanced search capabilities, metadata transforms what could be a chaotic file archive into an intuitive and user-friendly system. This is particularly useful for large-scale marketing departments, creative agencies, or global brands that manage thousands of assets across various regions and campaigns.

Streamlined Distribution and Collaboration

Digital Asset Management systems are not just about storage—they're about distribution too. With a DAM, sharing files internally or with external stakeholders is seamless. You can:

Generate shareable links with expiry dates and download limits.

Set user permissions to control who can view, download, or edit files.

Integrate DAM systems with platforms like Adobe Creative Cloud, Microsoft Office, and CMS tools to embed assets directly into your workflows.

This level of integration and control reduces time spent on manual tasks such as emailing files, searching through folders, or verifying asset versions.

Brand Consistency and Governance

For organizations with multiple departments or global teams, maintaining brand consistency is a critical challenge. A DAM system acts as a single source of truth Contact us for brand assets. By centralizing approved files—such as logos, font kits, brand guidelines, and media templates—teams are empowered to create consistent, on-brand content across all touchpoints.

Moreover, governance features ensure that expired, unapproved, or outdated assets are automatically flagged or removed, reducing the risk of miscommunication or off-brand messaging.

Improved Workflow Efficiency

Enterprise DAM solutions often include workflow automation tools that streamline the creation, approval, and publishing of digital content. For example:

Designers can upload drafts directly to the DAM for review.

Managers receive automatic notifications for approval.

Approved assets are instantly available to teams for use or publication.

This kind of workflow efficiency accelerates campaign delivery, enhances team collaboration, and frees up time for creative and strategic work rather than administrative tasks.

Scalability and Security

As your organization grows, so does your digital asset library. Enterprise DAM systems are built to scale with your needs, offering storage for millions of assets without compromising speed or usability.

Security is another key benefit. With robust access controls, encryption, backup options, and audit trails, DAM systems protect your digital assets from unauthorized access, accidental deletion, or data breaches.

Measurable ROI and Business Impact

Implementing an enterprise DAM is not just a technical upgrade—it’s a strategic investment. The benefits translate into measurable returns:

Reduced time spent searching for assets (up to 30% according to some studies).

Faster campaign rollouts thanks to automated workflows.

Lower asset production costs due to reuse and repurposing of existing materials.

Improved compliance and risk management through access controls and audit logs.

When digital asset management is optimized, your organization can move faster, operate more efficiently, and deliver better experiences to customers and stakeholders.

Conclusion

Enterprise Digital Asset Management (DAM) is a game-changer for organizations looking to centralize, organize, and optimize their digital content. By bringing all your assets under one intelligent system, you not only improve efficiency but also empower your teams to collaborate better, stay on-brand, and scale content operations with confidence.

Whether you're a marketing team managing hundreds of campaigns or a global enterprise navigating complex media workflows, an enterprise DAM system provides the foundation for smarter, faster, and more secure digital asset management.

10 Easy Photoshop Tips for Beginners to Edit Like an Expert

Adobe Photoshop is one of the most powerful tools available for digital artists, photographers, and designers. But when you open it for the first time, it can be overwhelming. With so many tools, panels, and features, where should a beginner even begin? Fortunately, you don’t need to know everything at once. By mastering just a few core techniques, you can significantly improve your editing skills and grow more comfortable using the software. In this post, we’ll share 10 easy Photoshop tips that will help beginners get started the right way.

1. Learn to Work with Layers

Layers are the foundation of Photoshop. Every image you edit should involve layers so that you can work on different elements independently. This means you can apply changes, add effects, or move objects without affecting the rest of the design. For instance, you can keep the background on one layer and a subject on another, making it easier to isolate and edit either element. Always name your layers for clarity and group related layers together. Mastering layers early will give you much more control over your edits.

2. Use Adjustment Layers Instead of Direct Edits

One of the best habits to adopt as a beginner is non-destructive editing. Instead of applying changes directly to the image, use adjustment layers for things like brightness, contrast, hue/saturation, or levels. Adjustment layers sit on top of your image, and you can modify or delete them at any time without harming the original image. It’s a safer and more flexible way to experiment with edits.

3. Improve Your Composition with the Crop Tool

Cropping isn’t just about cutting out parts of an image, it’s also a powerful composition tool. Using the crop tool, you can reframe your image to draw more attention to the subject, remove unnecessary space, or follow visual rules like the Rule of Thirds. The crop tool helps create balance and improves the overall visual impact of your photo.

4. Get Comfortable with Keyboard Shortcuts

Photoshop has hundreds of tools and functions, and constantly clicking through menus can slow you down. Learning keyboard shortcuts can dramatically improve your speed and efficiency. For example, ‘Ctrl+Z’ undoes your last action, ‘Ctrl+T’ enables free transform, and pressing ‘B’ selects the brush tool. Even learning just a few shortcuts will save time and make your workflow smoother.

5. Use the Clone Stamp Tool for Precise Retouching

The Clone Stamp Tool is incredibly useful for duplicating or removing parts of an image. It allows you to sample one area of an image and paint that sample over another area. This is especially handy for removing blemishes, dust, or objects from photos. The key is to sample from a nearby, similar area for the most natural results.

6. Play Around with Blending Modes

Blending modes let you change how layers interact with each other, and they can add depth, texture, or drama to your work. Try setting a text layer to "Overlay" or a duplicate image layer to "Multiply" to see how the result changes. Blending modes are creative tools that give your images a unique touch.

7. Heal with the Healing Brush Tool

While the Clone Stamp Tool copies pixels exactly, the Healing Brush Tool blends them more naturally with the surrounding area. It’s a fantastic tool for touching up skin, removing small objects, or fixing minor imperfections without obvious signs of editing. It blends tone and texture for seamless results.

8. Save Your Work Regularly

Photoshop is powerful, but it’s also memory-intensive, which means it can occasionally crash. To avoid losing progress, save your work regularly by pressing ‘Ctrl+S’ (or ‘Cmd+S’ on Mac). You can also use "Save As" to create multiple versions of your project as it evolves.

9. Customize Your Workspace to Fit Your Needs

Photoshop allows you to customize your layout, so you can create a workspace that suits your editing style. You can rearrange panels, open specific tools, and even save your custom workspace for future sessions. Having a familiar layout improves comfort and efficiency, especially as you begin using Photoshop more often.

10. Always Use Non-Destructive Editing Methods

Finally, one of the most important tips is to avoid editing your original image directly. Always duplicate your layers or use layer masks when making changes. This non-destructive method keeps your original content safe and allows you to make adjustments at any point in the process without starting over.

Conclusion

Photoshop is a deep and powerful program, but you don’t need to master everything at once. By focusing on these 10 beginner-friendly tips, you can start creating better edits and gain confidence with the tools Photoshop offers. Keep practicing, be patient with yourself, and don’t be afraid to experiment, that’s how real progress begins.

Apple Certified Experts Recover Data with Precision

Data is more than just files it’s your work, your memories, and your life. When disaster strikes and your data is lost or becomes inaccessible, the last thing you want is guesswork. You need precision, and that’s exactly what Apple Certified Experts deliver. With specialized knowledge, advanced tools, and a deep understanding of Apple’s ecosystem, these professionals are your best chance at restoring your lost data accurately and securely.

The Value of Apple Certification

Not all technicians are created equal. Apple Certified Experts, often referred to as Apple Certified Macintosh Technicians (ACMTs), undergo extensive training and testing to earn their credentials. Their certification ensures they are proficient in diagnosing and repairing Apple hardware and navigating Apple’s proprietary software systems.

This expertise is critical for data recovery. Apple devices—from iPhones and iPads to MacBooks and iMacs—are uniquely designed with custom components and security features that make data access both secure and complex. Without certified knowledge, an untrained technician may inadvertently cause more harm than good.

Why Apple Data Recovery Requires Specialized Precision

Apple’s security-first design is excellent for protecting users’ privacy but poses challenges when recovering lost data. Here are some reasons why Apple data recovery requires such a high level of precision:

Proprietary File Systems: Apple devices use APFS or HFS+—file systems that require deep technical knowledge to interpret and repair.

Soldered SSDs: Many Macs have soldered storage, meaning standard recovery methods won’t work.

T2/M1/M2 Security Chips: These chips encrypt data at the hardware level. Without the correct credentials and tools, access is virtually impossible.

iCloud Integration: Data may be synced, duplicated, or removed from local storage depending on iCloud settings, complicating recovery efforts.

Apple Certified Experts understand these systems intimately. They use Apple-approved diagnostic tools, follow strict protocols, and maintain up-to-date training on the latest hardware and software updates.

When Precision Matters Most

In data recovery, even a small error can result in permanent loss. That’s why precise recovery isn’t just preferred—it’s essential. Here are some situations where expert accuracy makes all the difference:

Accidentally Deleted Files or Photos

Corrupted macOS or Failed Software Updates

Failed System Restores or iCloud Sync Errors

Liquid Damage or Hardware Malfunction

Encrypted Drives or Forgotten Passwords

With Apple Certified Experts, recovery is handled carefully and methodically to avoid data overwriting, physical damage to components, or file system corruption.

Step-by-Step Recovery with Certified Precision

Here’s how Apple Certified Experts approach data recovery:

1. Detailed Diagnosis

Experts begin by assessing your device to identify what caused the data loss. They check for physical damage, file system issues, or software failures. Every detail matters—this helps form the safest and most effective recovery strategy.

2. Secure Data Imaging

If the storage drive is at risk, a full image of the drive is created. This process clones the data bit-by-bit, allowing recovery attempts to be made on the copy—not the original—preserving the integrity of your device.

3. Advanced File Recovery

Using specialized software, experts scan for recoverable files. They rebuild damaged file systems, repair corrupted files, and extract usable data—even from severely compromised drives.

4. Verification and Restoration

Recovered data is tested for usability and consistency. Once verified, it's transferred to a secure destination—like an external hard drive or encrypted cloud storage.

5. Post-Recovery Support

Experts don’t just recover your files—they help you prevent future loss by setting up automatic backups, optimizing storage, and recommending best practices.

Why Clients Trust Apple Certified Technicians

Here’s what makes Apple Certified Experts stand out:

Precision-Driven Process: Every action is calculated and secure.

Higher Success Rates: Their training ensures fewer mistakes and more recoverable data.

Genuine Apple Tools: They use Apple-authorized software and equipment.

Secure Handling: Your data is protected throughout the process.

Clear Communication: Experts explain the issue, the recovery process, and preventive steps.

How to Choose the Right Apple Data Recovery Expert

If you’re facing data loss, look for:

Apple Certification (ACMT or equivalent)

Positive Reviews and Proven Track Record

Transparent Pricing and Diagnostics

Quick Turnaround Times

Data Privacy Guarantees

Avoid general repair shops or third-party tools that aren’t Apple-specific. The risks of permanent damage or data compromise are too high.

Data loss can be devastating but it doesn’t have to be permanent. With Apple Certified Experts, you get more than just recovery; you get peace of mind knowing that your files are being handled with care, precision, and professionalism.

Whether it’s an accidental deletion or a major system crash, trust the experts who know Apple inside and out. They don’t guess—they recover, restore, and protect your most valuable digital assets with unmatched precision.

Apple Certified Experts recover data with precision because every file matters.

Pro Tip: Use the “Add Photo” function to layer images. Adjust opacity or blending modes to merge elements harmoniously.

How to Use Layers:

Tap on “Add Photo” in the menu.

Select the image to layer.

Resize, reposition, and apply effects to each layer independently.

Layering gives you the flexibility to create complex, polished designs, perfect for e-commerce photo editing services and collages.

PicsArt’s Background Remover tool allows you to isolate objects or subjects in an image effortlessly. Whether you’re creating product mockups, removing distractions, or enhancing e-commerce photos, this tool is a game-changer.

Pro Tip: For intricate backgrounds, combine auto-detect with manual touch-ups for precision.

Steps to Remove Backgrounds:

Open your image and go to “Tools” > “Remove Background.”

Use the auto-detect function or manually refine areas with the eraser tool.

Save the cutout as a PNG to maintain transparency.

Effective background removal is crucial for creating professional-quality visuals, especially in product photography for e-commerce.

Steps to Correct Colors:

Open your photo and navigate to “Tools” > “Adjust.”

Use the sliders to tweak brightness, contrast, saturation, sharpness, and tone.

Experiment with small adjustments to achieve professional results.

For ecommerce photo editing, this technique helps showcase products in their true colors, building customer trust.

The Clone Tool in PicsArt is ideal for removing unwanted objects, filling gaps, or duplicating design elements seamlessly. It works by copying pixels from one part of the image and “painting” them over another area.

Is Your Phone Running Out of Storage Space? Here’s How to Fix It

In today’s digital age, smartphones have become essential companions in our daily lives. Whether we use them for work, entertainment, or social connection, our phones are continuously collecting data, apps, and files. However, as convenient as this is, many users eventually face the issue of running out of storage space. A lack of storage can not only slow down your phone but also prevent you from downloading new apps or taking pictures. In this article, we will guide you on how to free up space on your phone, ensuring it runs efficiently.

1. Clear Out Unnecessary Apps

The first step in freeing up storage space is to remove unused apps. Over time, we tend to download apps for specific purposes and then forget about them. These dormant apps still take up valuable storage.

Identify unused apps: Go to your phone’s settings and check the app usage stats to see which apps you haven't used in a while.

Uninstall: If an app hasn’t been opened in weeks or months, consider uninstalling it. For essential apps that are seldom used, you can always reinstall them when needed.

Additionally, some pre-installed apps, often referred to as bloatware, can be disabled if you can’t uninstall them directly.

2. Optimize Media Storage

Photos and videos are some of the biggest storage hogs on any smartphone. High-resolution images and 4K videos can quickly fill up your available space.

Back up to the cloud: Using cloud services such as Google Photos or iCloud can automatically back up your media files and free up local storage. Once backed up, you can safely delete them from your phone.

Compress files: There are apps available that can reduce the file size of photos and videos without compromising too much on quality. This is particularly useful if you want to keep them on your phone without consuming significant storage.

3. Clear App Cache and Data

Many apps store temporary data or "cache" files to speed up their performance. Over time, this cached data can accumulate and take up valuable space.

Manually clear cache: You can clear the cache of specific apps by going to your phone’s settings under storage. Be cautious about clearing data, as this might delete settings or saved states in certain apps.

Regular cleaning: Some phones come with built-in tools that help optimize storage by clearing out unnecessary files. If your phone doesn’t have this, there are third-party cleaning apps available that can help.

4. Use External Storage

If your phone supports external storage options such as microSD cards, you can move certain apps, media files, and documents to the external card to free up internal storage.

Transfer files: Move large files, such as videos or downloads, to the SD card.

Move apps: Some Android phones allow you to move apps to external storage. This can be particularly useful for freeing up significant internal storage space.

If your phone doesn’t support external storage, you may want to invest in a portable external drive or use cloud storage as an alternative.

5. Delete Old Downloads and Junk Files

The downloads folder is often overlooked but can contain large files that are no longer needed. These might include PDFs, images, or videos you downloaded but forgot to delete.

Review downloads: Regularly check your downloads folder and delete unnecessary files.

Remove duplicate files: Sometimes, we download the same files multiple times. Use a file management app to identify and delete duplicates.

6. Update Your Phone Diagnostic Software

If your phone consistently runs out of space or slows down, it could be a sign of underlying issues beyond just storage problems. In such cases, using a phone diagnostic software can help identify and address other performance-related concerns, such as background apps hogging memory or even a phone speaker issue that might arise due to software glitches. Regularly updating diagnostic tools can ensure your phone operates efficiently.

7. Check for Large, Hidden Files

Some apps and processes create large hidden files that aren't always easy to identify. This can include system logs, outdated backups, or even incomplete downloads.

Use file explorer apps: These apps can help you locate and manage hidden files on your device.

Factory reset as a last resort: If your phone is significantly bogged down with hidden files, a factory reset may be necessary. Be sure to back up all important data before doing so.

8. Manage Messages and Attachments

Messaging apps, especially those that allow for multimedia sharing (like WhatsApp or Messenger), can accumulate large amounts of data over time.

Delete old conversations: If there are chat threads you no longer need, especially those filled with media, it’s a good idea to delete them.

Restrict automatic downloads: Go to the settings of messaging apps and turn off automatic downloads for media files. This way, only files you choose to download will take up space.

9. Disable Offline Data Syncing for Certain Apps

Some apps, like music streaming or navigation apps, store data offline to be accessed without an internet connection. While this can be useful, it also consumes storage.

Review offline data: Check the apps that sync data offline and decide whether you really need those files. For example, if you no longer listen to downloaded music or use offline maps, delete the files to reclaim space.

Final Thoughts

Running out of storage space is a common issue, but with the right strategies, you can easily free up space and improve your phone’s performance. Whether it’s deleting old apps, clearing cached data, or backing up media files, these tips can help extend the life of your device. For more comprehensive solutions, using a phone diagnostic software can help identify storage issues, as well as other performance problems like phone speaker issues that might be affecting your device. Keeping your phone optimized ensures that you continue to enjoy a seamless and efficient user experience.

By following these steps, you can reclaim valuable storage space and avoid the frustration of a slow, cluttered phone.
