Quick Trick: Controlling Camera Shake<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

PDF Version : https:\/\/bit.ly\/3wUBHtr<\/a><\/p>\n

If you’re anything like me, you’ve got a lot of “nice” photos that miss being GREAT photos because they’re a little blurry. Sometimes it’s a focus issue, sometimes it’s camera shake. Because there are times when you can’t just whip out a tripod and get those magic moments captured perfectly, you’re okay with compromising on clarity for the sake of the memory. Well, I think I’ve got something that might make those “nice” shots a lot less woozy! This automatic enhancement was introduced with Elements 14<\/strong>; if you’re working with an earlier version, sorry. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

Let me introduce you to one of my new neighbours. She and her family were some distance away and it was super-cold outside so I didn’t want to go outside to take photos. I used the zoom lens – which destabilizes the camera a bit – on one of my point-and-shoot digital cameras and shot them through the living room window. I knew they’d be soft and a bit fuzzy, and I accepted that.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I didn’t know about this trick until last night. It’s going to be VERY useful! Click on the Enhance<\/strong> tab and scroll down to Shake Reduction…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Elements<\/strong> will automatically make an adjustment to your photo. You’ll get a little preview of what will happen, and you can fine-tune it later. See the slider labeled Sensitivity<\/strong>? You can tweak that too, but be careful. A little goes a long way! Make it too sensitive and you’ll see a white outline around your subject.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The important part of the photo is her face, so I’ve drawn a box around her head and chest, and Elements<\/strong> starts working on it. See that thing in the middle of the box? It’s a progress bar, showing you where in the process your photo is currently. When it’s finished the icon disappears. Then, if you’re happy, click OK<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here’s the Before<\/strong> image up close.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And the After<\/strong> image up close.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And a side-by-side… The change is subtle, but visible. You can see it even in the foliage.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Not bad for a couple of clicks!<\/p>\n
