Dear Mr Collins. Thank you so very much for posting this tutorial. Now in my 70s I live in enforced isolation in my adapted apartment in this lovely market town of Bridport, Dorset, England. Most fortunately, shortly before Lockdown, a couple of friends visited me. At my request, suspecting a long period in solitary confinement, they brought with them a thousand or more old photo prints and slides; also countless negatives. Some extending well back into the 19th Century. Knowing that lack of direction and motivation were more of an immediate challenge to me than coronavirus itself. The fact of the matter is that coronavirus kills. Prolonged isolation, however, destroys. Rather death than a living death. I need to learn a new skill. Pretty much from scratch. Thus, my photo restoration project. Again, my thanks and very good wishes to you, and those you hold dear, and all those who benefit from your wisdom. Paul Dawson.
I starting using this program after Mac disabled my PS during an upgraded to Catalina. Your video will be my #1 learning tool. I'm thinking about purchasing the full PhotoScape X to support the developer, unless Apple was the developer ;-) .....
Thanks for getting back to me. I also would like to know if there is a significant difference between the Apple Raw converter and the Photoscape X Raw Converter? Witch one do you use? I do all of my editing on an IMac 27. What I am going to do is standardize all of my RAw image processing on this application. I purchased the Pro version. It was cheap enough and I used the HDR tool and it is very nice! I also use Affinity as well for their Mac.
I have not used apple's raw converting software before. I would suspect that it works similarly, but for best results I'm sure Adobe software still wins out.
Nathan Collins The reason why I am asking is that in the Preferences, you can either use the Apple converter or the Photoscape converter. It really doesn’t matter that much because if you are going with RAW before editing, then you be changing the RAW rendition anyway. So the best way is to test each one out and then see which one is more accurate.
@@imae5566 I see. I'm a PC guy so I wouldn't be able to test that, but I believe both of them would be very similar. The best way to test is to do the same process on both converters and zoom into the pictures and see which one is better.
Nathan Collins You are absolutely correct. Apply the same corrections to both versions of the RAW converter and see which one is better. I would wager, that they aren’t that much different.
Great tutorial, Thanks. 2 questions: 1 - In outdoor shots, often someone's face is in full or partial shadow, while the overall image is bright. Is there any way to brighten just the areas in shadow? 2 - when scanning old slides, often the colors have deteriorated. Epson scanners have an option feature called "color restoration" which helps, but if you have an image scanned by another scanner, you need help. Does Photoscape X have a color restoration feature?
Yes both of those features are in PhotoScape X. The first one would probably be achieved by using a brush feature in the tools tab. The second one would be achieved by using some adjustment sliders in the color tab or in the brush tab if you are going to manually adjust specific colors. This weekend I'll be making more tutorials so I will see about making a video answering those questions. Feel free to subscribe so you don't miss those videos.
Thank you for this video it helped a lot. Do you know how to start a new project in the College section after you finished and saved it? So far it just stays there and you have to start a new from the previous college you made. Seem like extra unneeded steps.
That is kind of odd. It looks like if you click on the image you're able to delete it out of the collage. I guess you'd have to do that if you wanted to start fresh. The only other option I could find is if you close out a photoscape x and you go back in. I'll keep looking but that is a good thing to note. Thank you.
Yes I should make a video specifically on skies in photoscape X. Right now the best video that I can point you to would be my video about how to mask in photoscape X: th-cam.com/video/pN6C_wANK1E/w-d-xo.html
Hey Nathan, I'm so excited to come across your tutorials. They will come in super handy! Curious if you show anywhere how to remove the purple glare from glasses in a photo using Photoscape X?
Yes, I'm actually posting a video about that tomorrow. In the video I share how to switch faces in a photo by using the cut out tool and putting the face back into the photo in a different location.
Using the viewer tab in photoscape x you'll be able to favorite the folders that have your photos in them and that essentially is importing your photos to photoscape x. Some software's like Lightroom and Photoshop requires you to import your photos because they have a lot of extra processing that is helpful for advanced edits. Let me know if that answers your question or what you exactly mean by import.
@ 19:38 into the video, it was easy to removed the background. I was able to save my photos with a white background, not so with the blue. Question, do I need to upgrade in order to use the other filters?
When you remove a background it will either end up being white or transparent (.PNG file). Some of the filters in the editing tab are only for the pro version which is a $40 one time payment. Hope that helps!
@@BriNathanCollins I bit the bullet and made the purchase :-) "APPLE.COM/BILL, purchase in the amount of $42.79 was charged on your credit card account." They will only take PP is you have a CC on file with them.
@@theDeitz That's really interesting, let me know what you think of the full version. Also let me know if there is anything specific you want me to cover in upcoming videos about Photoscape x.
@@BriNathanCollins One thing I want to learn to do with the PS-X is what I often did with PS. I would PS a friends head onto another body as a joke. Or place their image on another photo etc.
I looked over the software the best I could and I was not able to find any way to change the unit of measurement to inches. I also was not able to find a way to add a ruler to the editing view after cropping. My suggestion would be to learn or have a cheat sheet for the measurement equivalents from inches to millimeters (for common measurements that you will use). Here is a link to some screenshots of me searching around for those options: photos.app.goo.gl/3m4UosxiTYeghwQB8 By the way, what kind of photo work are you doing? This might help me to get a better understanding of how to help solve this issue for you.
Nathan Collins Well i do a lot of printing at home. So for example, I can printout 13x19 prints. If I want to print the shot at 12x18 to allow for a mat, then I need to be able to change the document size as you would in any other photo editing software. Affinity allows you to do this. Of course, you have to be happy with the crop so not to cut out any of the original that you want in the finish cropped image. I still have high hopes for this software and I like the tools that you can use to just edit a portion of the photograph such as vibrancy, sharpen, saturation, etc. This is what I was doing with Lightroom before I stopped using it due to the subscription nonsense. When I get back into taking pics, I will post some using this app. Thanks for your expeditious replies.
Are stickers included in the Pro version? If yes where do I find them. - If not when I go to store to make a purchase I see "unlocked". - Please enlighten me - Thank you
Thank you for the tutorial...I have the latest ver and I am curious to know how to change an objects color? Like the turtle...can I make it red, or change the color of a car?
Yes, there are different methods to be able to do that. I'll try my best to make a video on the subject this week and post it. Most likely it will be using the cutout tool and shifting the hue of the image/cut out.
I just finished recording the video and I'll be uploading it soon. I learned that the main tool that needs to be used is the fill color tool and it works really well.
Does photoscape allow you transpose 2 images together? Like if I wanted to take an object from one photo and put it in another photo?? I thought maybe cut out or combine would be able to do it but I couldn't figure it out.
Yes, you are able to do that in photoscape. Here is a video where I show how to cut out faces in a photo and paste them in different places in a photo: th-cam.com/video/hgN0xZmvBa8/w-d-xo.html This technique uses the "Cut Out" tool and will also work for cutting out objects and putting them into other photos. Let me know if it help or if you need more info. Thanks for the question!
Helo, just installed PhotoScape X an hour back. This is the first guide I've watched fully. I still did not find out how to add a white layer and also combine 2 different images together to form one image like how we can do so in MS Paint. Like, we can increase the white space and then add in (copy paste) another different image. How to do that here?
Do you want to open up a new project with a white background? Then using the insert tab, you can insert as many photos as you’d like, and move them around: th-cam.com/video/SzTjoMIOliI/w-d-xo.html
@@BriNathanCollins Hi Nathan! Thank you for the reply. I'll try to look into this and I'll try to remember to let you know. I'm looking forward to watching your other video, the "Beginner to Expert 1 Hour" video.
15:05 I have to give you hell for saying duck but that killed me laughing, just how you pronounced it and kept saying in. All respects to you though, thank you for this video I’ll be going through your content for this program. You sold it for me
Great overview and thanks for taking the time to run through all of its features. Not “powerful” like photoshop but software provides stack of features that are so easy to perform it encourages creativity when editing. Worth buying just to support the development team.
I've used this for years, and am very happy with it. So glad to see this channel content. Keep it up Nathan! Also, I'd recommend that everyone who uses it pays the small one-time fee for the "Pro" upgrade. It helps to support the product.
is there a link to provide what the Pro version provides that is not in the free version? If so please post it. First day of finding this particular product so not sure how often it is updated. Have used many other digital imaging software options but this one looks pretty good.
this is the most complete history of updates and list of features: x.photoscape.org/ When you are using the free version of the software you can see when a featur is unavailable due to it being a part of the pro version. I should make a video in the future showing all of the pro features.
@@BriNathanCollins Thanks Nathan. Yes, I have seen how to tell if a feature is only available in Pro but having a listing and/or video would be nice so TIA. I am grabbing all the tutorials I can find and there are many in that link although voice would be nice to have and I have other I will check out from the creators of the program. Others of yours I am working on and will see what others are available in YT. Having worked with about half a dozen different editors and view videos on some I don't own due to issues between the MAC and PC versions it is easy to get confused between what each program can do. Retired now for 20 years from the business so not shooting as much -- age etc. and our travelling days are over. Still like to learn new things though so looking forward to all I can find about this program.
Hi, do you know how can turn a photo into watercolor with photoscape x?, I remember that last photoscape had it but I couldn't find it in this new version. Please help.
I was able to find the "watercolor pencil" tool but other than that I'm not finding anything that's really great for watercolor in photoscape x. I'll ask some of my friends in the photoscape x Facebook group and see what they say.
Very nice! (3) questions please: (1) How can you color borders and frames? (2) Can photos be tagged with keywords that are then searchable by Mac finder and other apps? (3) How can I color a background not by using the color picker but by inserting the actual color value #?
For the borders you're able to change some of the borders to different colors, textures, change the opacity. Unfortunately not all borders are able to have the color changed. if you are in the viewer and you right-click on a photo you can go down to "metadata ➡️ edit metadata" then when you are in edit metadata you can add a keyword or keywords to the image. After that if you are wanting to search for those keywords you can go to the top right in the viewer and select the pull down and click custom (ctrl+f). In the custom search you will be able to select The key word you want to filter for. when you go to select a color whether using the draw tool or any color selector in photoscape x you can put in the number value at the bottom left hand of the box. Also on the top of the box there are a list of ways to select the color such as the color wheel or the RGB, etc. Great questions! let me know if you need any further explanation or if you would like me to make a video on any of these questions.
Thank you, I just made a video about how I am improving my video quality. All my videos will be shot in 4k (including the screen recording) and I'll be zooming in on menu screens and whenever helpful.
Can anyone help me pls? i am trying to make a gradient circle from white fading out to transparent on PHOTOSCAPE does anyone knows how to do it?? thanks in advance
@@BriNathanCollins thanks a lot I am new to it and bought the pro and still not able to make it. you tutorials are great. very helpful, seems like you are the photoscape expert, by far the youtuber that has the most videos on it. thx again and looking forward to the video.
In PhotoScapeX I'm not seeing where I can save my photo as 300, 150, 100, 75 DPI etc. Doest PhotoScapeX have that option? I have the full paid for version.
I just uploaded my collage video and I was very surprised as well to see all the features that photoscape X allows you to do in collage. th-cam.com/video/v4hqcGns2II/w-d-xo.html
I want to design a page to upload into a photo book I am creating, can you go through make the page a specific size add shapes and designs as backgrounds then put photo's on top. You did mention in one of your tutorials that you would shop how to create a poster, I feel if you did this it would cover what I want. thanks Irene
This is the best photoscape x tutorial I've been able to find. Thanks to you I use photoscape x now! You did a great job and earned yourself a new subscriber! Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you for the wonderful guide into this tremendous program for us beginners. I do have a question....is it possible to select an object in your photo (for example , the moon in a starry, night sky) and shrink or enlarge it? I would have thought that this would be a straightforward task, but I have played around with all of the tools in Photoscape X and have read/watched multiple tutorials and I cannot seem to find an answer. Thanks again for the great work!
Check out this video on the liquefy tool: th-cam.com/video/biCgrantC94/w-d-xo.html Another method would be to use the "cut out" tool. I'll make a video on it and share it with you. Thanks for the question!
Thanks! Liquefy (using bloat and pucker) did the trick. I was trying the cut out tool to see if I could cut the object, copy it to the clipboard and then paste and then resize the pasted image but I could not figure out how to do it. Thanks for the help.
Great video but the software is just okay. I found you cannot print 4X6 borderless photos. Plus while trying to figure this out half the time after I hit print the software switched the paper size to letter. Fun software to play with but not so great for actually printing.
Yes, the printing on photoscape X does leave a lot to be desired. I feel that the main pros for PhotoScape X is the simplicity of photo editing and graphic design using layering.
Yes, using the "Cut Out Tool you can cut out objects and the paste them back into the photo as many times as you like. I'll look into making a video on that topic.
Thank you for this video but I don't have the time to go through it. It would help enormously if you were to list the Contents under topics like they do in many TH-cam Album music In the More section, they list the time in the video where each song starts ant then the name of the song. Eg. 00:25 Dance Monkey so you would do 00:05 Introduction to Video 03:45 Bad Guy 01:05 How to use the Draw Tool 06:21 Let It Be 02:26 How to use the Paint Tool 03:78 How to use the Eraser Tool Many people don't have the time to go through a long video to find what they need but know that TH-cam channeler gives good clear advice in their videos and would like to get any information from that person. A list of the time and subject save us a lot of precious time and would make your videos more popular!
With the artist's proficiency with the product he has lost the ability teach a beginner how to use it. Simply unable to keep it simple. I'm doubting a beginner is concerned about flagging there photos at this point. Have yet to find a user friendly tutorial about this product.
@@BriNathanCollins An easy fix is to bring a novice in the tutorial and have the person perform a basic task with you . Such as colorizing a photo. This benefits the beginner as it has to slow down the teacher as well. This should have a big influence on how much the teacher has to strip down the basics for beginners to understand
Yes, I'm actually posting a video about that tomorrow. In the video I share how to switch faces in a photo by using the cut out tool and putting the face back into the photo in a different location.
This is the best photoscape guide I have ever seen. You have done a super great job. Thank you so much. By the way i am from Hong Kong
Thank you so much! Have a great day!
Dear Mr Collins. Thank you so very much for posting this tutorial. Now in my 70s I live in enforced isolation in my adapted apartment in this lovely market town of Bridport, Dorset, England. Most fortunately, shortly before Lockdown, a couple of friends visited me. At my request, suspecting a long period in solitary confinement, they brought with them a thousand or more old photo prints and slides; also countless negatives. Some extending well back into the 19th Century. Knowing that lack of direction and motivation were more of an immediate challenge to me than coronavirus itself. The fact of the matter is that coronavirus kills. Prolonged isolation, however, destroys. Rather death than a living death. I need to learn a new skill. Pretty much from scratch. Thus, my photo restoration project. Again, my thanks and very good wishes to you, and those you hold dear, and all those who benefit from your wisdom. Paul Dawson.
I'm glad I'm able to help. If you have any questions about the software or photo restoration just let me know.

I starting using this program after Mac disabled my PS during an upgraded to Catalina. Your video will be my #1 learning tool. I'm thinking about purchasing the full PhotoScape X to support the developer, unless Apple was the developer ;-) .....
Thanks, OS updates have hit me in the past.
Please buy the upgrade and support this product. It was not developed by Apple.
I did sometime back = gotta support them, plus it wasn't that expensive.
Thanks for getting back to me. I also would like to know if there is a significant difference between the Apple Raw converter and the Photoscape X Raw Converter? Witch one do you use?

Very nice! (3) questions please: (1) How can you color borders and frames? (2) Can photos be tagged with keywords that are then searchable by Mac finder and other apps? (3) How can I color a background not by using the color picker but by inserting the actual color value #?
For the borders you're able to change some of the borders to different colors, textures, change the opacity. Unfortunately not all borders are able to have the color changed.
if you are in the viewer and you right-click on a photo you can go down to "metadata ➡️ edit metadata" then when you are in edit metadata you can add a keyword or keywords to the image. After that if you are wanting to search for those keywords you can go to the top right in the viewer and select the pull down and click custom (ctrl+f). In the custom search you will be able to select The key word you want to filter for.
when you go to select a color whether using the draw tool or any color selector in photoscape x you can put in the number value at the bottom left hand of the box. Also on the top of the box there are a list of ways to select the color such as the color wheel or the RGB, etc.
Great questions! let me know if you need any further explanation or if you would like me to make a video on any of these questions.
@@BriNathanCollins Thanks so much - that's very helpful!
I like how you zoom in on what you show people. Makes it easier for me to see
Thank you, I just made a video about how I am improving my video quality. All my videos will be shot in 4k (including the screen recording) and I'll be zooming in on menu screens and whenever helpful.
Can anyone help me pls? i am trying to make a gradient circle from white fading out to transparent on PHOTOSCAPE does anyone knows how to do it?? thanks in advance
Yes, I can make a video on that tomorrow.
@@BriNathanCollins thanks a lot I am new to it and bought the pro and still not able to make it. you tutorials are great. very helpful, seems like you are the photoscape expert, by far the youtuber that has the most videos on it. thx again and looking forward to the video.
No problem, glad I'm able to help.
I just finished the video uploaded it: th-cam.com/video/XDdL8RpGRTY/w-d-xo.html
In PhotoScapeX I'm not seeing where I can save my photo as 300, 150, 100, 75 DPI etc. Doest PhotoScapeX have that option? I have the full paid for version.
I'll check
@@BriNathanCollins Thanks!
Good news! I was able to find the setting in photoscape X and I am putting out a video today where I talk about how to select that DPI setting.
@@BriNathanCollins good to hear = U R D Man ;-) my sincere thanks
I just found it too, I won't spoil you next video by letting the cat out of the bag, mums the word :-)
Love your video, do you have a special video on collage?
Not at the moment but I definitely could make a video on that.
@@BriNathanCollins Thank you
I just uploaded my collage video and I was very surprised as well to see all the features that photoscape X allows you to do in collage.

I want to design a page to upload into a photo book I am creating, can you go through make the page a specific size add shapes and designs as backgrounds then put photo's on top. You did mention in one of your tutorials that you would shop how to create a poster, I feel if you did this it would cover what I want. thanks Irene
Yes I can make a video showing how to do that.
Very informative. Thank you!
Good to hear!
This is the best photoscape x tutorial I've been able to find. Thanks to you I use photoscape x now! You did a great job and earned yourself a new subscriber! Keep up the awesome work!
You're very welcome!
Thank you for the wonderful guide into this tremendous program for us beginners. I do have a question....is it possible to select an object in your photo (for example , the moon in a starry, night sky) and shrink or enlarge it? I would have thought that this would be a straightforward task, but I have played around with all of the tools in Photoscape X and have read/watched multiple tutorials and I cannot seem to find an answer. Thanks again for the great work!
Check out this video on the liquefy tool: th-cam.com/video/biCgrantC94/w-d-xo.html
Another method would be to use the "cut out" tool. I'll make a video on it and share it with you. Thanks for the question!
Thanks! Liquefy (using bloat and pucker) did the trick. I was trying the cut out tool to see if I could cut the object, copy it to the clipboard and then paste and then resize the pasted image but I could not figure out how to do it. Thanks for the help.
Thank you thumbs up ! keep the good work :)
Thanks, have a great day!
Great video but the software is just okay. I found you cannot print 4X6 borderless photos. Plus while trying to figure this out half the time after I hit print the software switched the paper size to letter. Fun software to play with but not so great for actually printing.
Yes, the printing on photoscape X does leave a lot to be desired. I feel that the main pros for PhotoScape X is the simplicity of photo editing and graphic design using layering.
Great tutorial guide.
Thank you! I really appreciate it!
Thanks Nathan, I will give it a try. Usually it takes me to buy... I am using windows 19
Usually in the store you can sign in with your email and it will remember all your past purchases
Thank you!❤️😁
You are very welcome!
sir how to clone a object
Yes, using the "Cut Out Tool you can cut out objects and the paste them back into the photo as many times as you like. I'll look into making a video on that topic.
This was an amazing crash course. Thanks!
No problem, I hope it gives you everything you need for your photo editing.
Thank you Nathan! Your Guide was very helpful
Brother make a video on editing a normal Pic into cooler one with photoscape.... Like a tutorial.. By the way nic job brother
Thanks I'll consider doing that in the future.
Hope u will consider it... Love frm india
Thank you so very much 👍
You are very welcome thank you so much!
Thank you for this video but I don't have the time to go through it. It would help enormously if you were to list the Contents under topics like they do in many TH-cam Album music
In the More section, they list the time in the video where each song starts ant then the name of the song.
Eg. 00:25 Dance Monkey so you would do 00:05 Introduction to Video
03:45 Bad Guy 01:05 How to use the Draw Tool
06:21 Let It Be 02:26 How to use the Paint Tool
03:78 How to use the Eraser Tool
Many people don't have the time to go through a long video to find what they need
but know that TH-cam channeler gives good clear advice in their videos and would like to
get any information from that person.
A list of the time and subject save us a lot of precious time and would make your videos
more popular!
Thanks for the feed back!
Ty
You're very welcomed!

Yes, did you have a question?
With the artist's proficiency with the product he has lost the ability teach a beginner how to use it. Simply unable to keep it simple. I'm doubting a beginner is concerned about flagging there photos at this point. Have yet to find a user friendly tutorial about this product.
Okay if there's anything you'd like me to cover you can definitely leave it in the comments.
@@BriNathanCollins An easy fix is to bring a novice in the tutorial and have the person perform a basic task with you . Such as colorizing a photo. This benefits the beginner as it has to slow down the teacher as well. This should have a big influence on how much the teacher has to strip down the basics for beginners to understand
@@ksdaman thanks for the feedback
@@ksdaman have you seen my other videos?
@@BriNathanCollins No. I assume if this is for beginners then watching any other is pointless
Are you able to place a cut out photo on top of another background? Awesome video btw!!!!
Yes, I'm actually posting a video about that tomorrow. In the video I share how to switch faces in a photo by using the cut out tool and putting the face back into the photo in a different location.
Nathan Collins ayee bet I’ll definitely tune in on that thanks keep up the great work bro
Some things came up at work so I'll be posting the video tomorrow.
New video showing off the cut out tool! th-cam.com/video/hgN0xZmvBa8/w-d-xo.html
