I have a slightly difficult (for me) request to make. Can someone please cut out and realistically transfer this spider (if a zoomed in version is preferred; please let me know), on to to this wall.


P.S. If any editing could be done to the actual spider, to make it look slightly different, that'd be great!


Thank you.

It's assumed that all Adobe products will be available via a monthly subscription only, and that may be true.
I found this post by Scott Kelby, a Photoshop heavy weight.

My Adobe Creative Cloud Quick Q&A

Read the article and you'll see 2 comments that seem to contradict the subscription only assumption most people have.

Q.Do I have to sign-up for a Creative Cloud membership or can I just upgrade like always?
A. Nope—you can just upgrade like always.

Q.What if it’s not for me?
A. That’s totally cool. You can pretend the Creative Cloud doesn’t exist, and just pay up front for upgrades and full versions of the software like you used to. The Creative Cloud is an option — one that makes sense for a lot of people who can’t handle the up-front costs of the regular Creative Suite, but if it’s not for you, no biggie.

I'm posting this with very limited knowledge on how CC will work and what it means to those of us individuals that have single licenses for Adobe products.
I'm making this post a sticky and hope any PS_CC comments and updates will be posted here until we understand what this means to us.

Hi, I have tried to remove the pink background from the attached image, but apparently my lack of skills causes the result to be too crude with some details from the important image being lost. Could someone please remove the pink background and the text and leave only the central figure? This also includes the spaces between the fingers - which had proved even harder for me to clear of the pink background. I need the image to be with a transparent background but can't quite get it done myself. Thanks in advance!

PS: On closer inspection, it seems that the central figure was perhaps pasted over a layer with the pink background, while the said central figure had certain transparent spots here and there (left eye/left thigh/right side of the neck) - and which are now pink. I guess that's irreversible - perhaps instead of transparent spots, the original image had some different color at these places and the removal of the pink spots would create "holes" in the image... I do plan to use it on black/dark grey background, but I'm not really sure if removing the pink parts from there wouldn't actually deteriorate the image... However, with the rest of the background around the central figure removed, the result would still look well, methinks.

I believe on the PC you'd use the Windows key, but I don't have a PC to test it. Hold Cmd and hover over the layer icon until your cursor becomes a pointed finger with a dotted box. Now click. You should get your selection. If it's not working something wiggy is going on. There is a long method to select your layer. Go to Select>Load Selection and select your layer from the drop down menu under "channel". Same move, longer method.
Hi! I read the forum on how to select laers on cs5 for mac. I tried but it doesnt work. :( I'm trying to follow a tutorial to teach myself how to use PS. Now the 4th step says that I must layer the letter so that when i overlap it with a picture the texture only goes to the letter and no excess outside of it.

Running border surrounds the letter but when i put the picture above it and add distort noise and opacity it works on the letter but the picture is still a square.

I'm currently working on a mock up for a product design, a box container to be precise,
And I want one smart object layer to cover both the front and the side, so you can seamlessly design the front and side of the box.

Sadly I haven't found a good way to do this, thought i would be able to with warp but I can't get straight corners with it, so if anyone have an idea it would be very very appreciated :).

i am very bad at photoshopping myself but still i want this image to be edited. so i'd like to ask you if you guys can edit this picture for me. the motive is me, these are actually my eyes, no contact lenses. its a gene defect that makes them look like they do.
so i want the picture to be edited kind of "galactic". blue (in its various appearances - dark, light, cyan and so on..) should be the main colour. everything but the eyes sould be darkened and also a bit
blurred, but you should still be able to see that its my head an my hair :pimp:... ok so the eyes themself shouldn't be blurred, they should remain clear. maybe it's possible for you to outline the iris with a thin cyan (or any other colour that fits) paint brush line or anything like that.

if you try to photoshop this image for me i'd be very grateful. also i think that this motive is something you are not always able to work with.
feel free to add effects you like and you think look cool
but:
-blurry/cloudy head (everything except eyes)
-it needs to be a space-looking result if you know what i mean
should be definetely included

if someone wants to edit the image feel free to ask for the original picture as this one is resized to 3500x2333 (original is 5200x3400). i'd send it via PM or somehow else.

ok thats enough. time for you to get started. as i said, i'd greatly appreciate if you guys had fun editing this photo! :)
thanks, blutig
