  1. Thanks for another informative video, Jesus. As a relative newcomer to PS, I found your tip about converting multiple layers into a smart object so that you could then apply ACR particularly useful.

  2. If you upload photos to a stock agency, they'll reject anything with any kind of grain, even though you'rre right about adding a little, little being the key word. I think the agencies hire people that don't really know much about photography, and give them a check list to evaluate photos from.
