I just discovered this feature less than a year ago, and it is a huge HUGE time saver. 
I am new in the word of photography, but this is a great TIP! for the nes user of the photography.  Photo Processing RAW vs. JPG Photo Processing RAW vs. JPG I get emails regularly asking about the camera RAW file format. I’ve discovered that people usually shoot in either RAW or JPG file formats, for various reasons. I’m sure RAW shooters are saying, “Why would anyone shoot in JPG?” And JPG shooters are saying similar... by Kent Weakley show 5 comments 
Kent, I agreevRAW allows so much more capability and control to edit. I experimented with taking RAW but as it takes time to edit photos decided that for the most part jpeg works just fine. I decided that for those special photo shoots that I would use RAW, like weddings where the lighting cannot always be controlled 
Great example. Once I started shooting RAW I never went back. I have so much more freedom and interesting effects that I can do in RAW that I cannot do with JPEG images. I am by no means a pro, but I am very precise about what I think is a good photo compared to a bad photo. It is much easier for me to shoot RAW and not have to denoise the image with a plug-in filter. 
Yes, that’s a great idea, if you can remember to switch back. I did that quite some time ago, until I did a whole client shoot in JPG. Now I’m all RAW. 
Thanks for this Kent! Can I process RAW photos in LightRoom? 
I choose depending on purpose. For a long time I always shot RAW, and still do for anything that needs refinement like a wedding. For fast-moving corporate and social events where photos will not be printed, however, I have started shooting JPG. For example, at a recent conference I regularly loaded pics to an iPad, which was hooked up to a booth display to run photos in a slideshow. The JPGs were way easier and faster to work with than RAWs. I’ve also noticed that my D700 renders nice JPGs in low-light conditions, which can be a good shortcut in low-return (eg, no prints) shoots.  3 Huge Photoshop Time Saving Tips 3 Huge Photoshop Time Saving Tips iPad Users View Here Here are three tips I use in Photoshop every day; #1 Option+click-hold-drag to make a duplicate #2 Transform selection box anchor adjustments #3 Scrub to make quick changes Any one of these shortcut tips should knock off a good... by Kent Weakley show 1 comment

Thanks! This will come in handy with Darcy’s party if I decide to go for it.

I’ve always wanted to know how this was done! Thanks!
You’re welcome! Please share some images with us.
Well, when I commented I hadn’t decided yet!! The first star stencil I used didn’t work at all. Would it be because it was off center or too large? I was getting half of the star which looked like a leaf.
Yes, it needs to be centered and the size matters. If it’s too big the full shape won’t render. It does take some trial and error. 
I am definatly going to try this. I love shooting shallow depth of fields to highlight subjects. Thanks for this tip
