Photoshop can alter images in almost every way imaginable. As capable as it is though, there are times when the changes needed are rather mundane in nature.
Take, for example, the need to change the color of a wall in an image. While it might not be a common alteration, it’s a handy arrow to keep in your quiver of skills. And when it does, you’re going to wish you knew how best to get the job done.
Now, thanks to the Photoshop gurus over at Phlearn, you can know how. In one of the latest videos, Aaron Nace shows how you can easily paint the walls of your photograph using a few simple tools that can be found in Photoshop.
Throughout the 13-minute video, Nace walks through the steps needed to get the job done. For his specific method, Nace relies on the pen tool to select the area of the wall you wish to “paint” over. Once the selections are made, Nace explains how other selection tools and layer masks can be used to cut out unwanted elements in the image — a mirror in his example image.
Once the walls are selected, it’s on to changing the colors. There are a few ways to do this, but Nace breaks down the most simple method, which involves using a Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer. This method makes it easy to simply slide through a palette of colors.
It’s a rather niche editing skill, but one that could prove useful — especially if you’re in real estate photography and a client would like to see what a specific color would look like. Watch the tutorial and head on over to Phlearn’s YouTube Channel to learn more Photoshop tips and tricks.
Full-frame cameras tend to be chunky beasts, but Sigma wants to prove that big imaging doesn't need a big body. Enter the Sigma FP2, the successor to its tiny, boxy fp mirrorless camera. It keeps the same modular design but packs in some serious upgrades, including a 24.5-megapixel partially stacked full-frame sensor, improved autofocus, 6K video recording, and 70GB of built-in storage. Sigma calls it the world's smallest full-frame camera, and while it might be tiny, the same cannot be said for its price tag.

A phone thermal camera is one of those tools you don’t think you need until the first time it saves you from an expensive problem, and the Thermal Master P3 just got easier to try. For Halloween, it’s discounted with the code THERMCAM10, a 10% cut that works out to $107 off the total. It’s also fresh off a win at the 2026 Tom’s Guide AI Awards for best phone thermal camera, which is the kind of third-party nod that separates a serious tool from the cheap clip-on sensors that flood this category.
We are nearing Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days, which officially run October 6 and 7. But there is no need to wait until the sale begins to start looking. Early offers are already live, and camera gear is one category where I found enough worthwhile discounts to put together a proper creator-focused list.
I’ve deliberately gone wider than interchangeable-lens cameras here. There are pocket and action cameras, a 360 camera, an instant camera, two wireless microphone systems, and a pair of webcams covering very different budgets. Prices were checked on October 2, and as always with Amazon, they can move quickly.
