Photography:

Kevin Kubota shared this super-simple Lightroom trick for reducing lines from photography subjects, without airbrushing them into oblivion. Get more cool tips like this from Kevin in his course, The Lightspeed Workflow System.

Lots of photo filters in apps like Instagram add in the effect of a lens flare — but what if your shot includes a lens flare that you don’t want? During his course, Photoshop for Photographers, Ben Willmore has a quick tip for removing lens flare in Photoshop, to help lend more consistency to your photos.

Money&Life:

Buddhist teacher and best-selling author Susan Piver has some advice for focusing on the task at hand. This simple definition of “mindfulness” may seem abstract, but it really can make you a better communicator, both in your relationships and your career.
