Smart Objects are a Photoshop tool that can open new possibilities in your workflow. Many of us have heard of them and used them. However, they can do sophisticated image adjustments that have gone untapped by even the most experienced Photoshop users. In this presentation, Sean Bagshaw will introduce the fundamentals of Smart Objects and demonstrate several ways they can be used to enhance your photo processing.

The winner for September is Up the Wall by Lynda Piper. Lynda took her photo pointing her camera  straight up the wall of the Princesshay car park in Exeter, standing very close to the building. Lynda has tried several times to get this shot. For her, it only works when there is clear blue sky above to contrast with the building.

Second was Two Ways to Sail by Leon Kemenade and Cyclist by Ray Duffill.
