    Fashion photography photoshop help!

    I'm not quite sure what exact effect you're trying to mimic. These all look like professional photos taken with professional cameras. Any Photoshop work here is likely restricted to cleaning up details, adjusting exposure and color, and technical stuff like that. About the only thing I can see...

    Have a browse through the PSD file. This should help you understand how I did it: http://www.tegger.com/bicycle.psd

    Dreamy effect

    You're going to need multiple layers for this. Change your foreground color to white. On a new layer, make a shape of some kind ("U" keyboard shortcut"). It can be a square, circle, whatever. It might be best to choose "fill pixels", which is the right-most of the three choices in the menu bar...

    How to use clone tool?

    Do you mean you want to get rid of the backgrounds on the non-middle images, so you can arrange them and put one common background across them all that looks like the middle one?

    Uneven "highlight" line: How to make?

    I'm referring to the tool that is invoked using the "P" keyboard shortcut, the Photoshop tool bar thing. Sorry, I should have been more precise. The "pen" that the tablet uses functions basically like a mouse, but with a lot more options than a mouse. I am not accustomed to thinking of it as a...

    "A" and "V" are keyboard shortcuts for those tools. "A" is the white arrow, "V" the black arrow. Here's a list of all the PS shortcuts. Memorize them; they will save you zillions of milliseconds. http://media.smashingmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/shortcuts3.jpg To convert to a Smart...

    Uneven "highlight" line: How to make?

    Proper warping did it. I used the menu at the top and set the warp to Arc, and the curve to 20%. (It's shown deliberately out of place here). The highlight is a Smart Object, so any opacity, widths, and blurring are done in there. Since the Arc warp is done to the Smart Object, I can even slide...

    Uneven "highlight" line: How to make?

    You can. You just need a $500 Wacom tablet, which I happen to have. The tablet also works in Illustrator, but Photoshop is where it really shines. Tablets are best suited to irregular things, like hand-sketching. It's not so good for regular things, like the arc I'm trying to create. For...

    Uneven "highlight" line: How to make?

    Is it possible to create a Brush line separately from the Pen line, then "fit" the Brush line to the Pen line the way you might fit text to a path?

    Uneven "highlight" line: How to make?

    Warping a line is something I also tried. But evidently not properly. I see now that there are options at the top for the details of the warp; you do not need to fiddle with each of the little handles. Fiddling with each individual handle was what got me in trouble with this approach in the...

    Uneven "highlight" line: How to make?

    Close. But instead of an even blur, a blur that grows and fades along the line. Note that the line in my original image is brighter at the top than in the middle. I mean for my line to have random intervals of brightness and dimness along its length.

    Is this the effect you're after? "Warp text" may not be the right tool. Make your elements, then convert them to "Smart Objects" by right-clicking on the layer listings. Convert your text into a Smart Object as well. Now select it with your "V" tool. Hit "Ctrl+T on your keyboard. RIGHT click on...

    Uneven "highlight" line: How to make?

    I'm not sure anyone's actually reading my posts. I've tried the Pen tool. I've tried many Brush settings in conjunction with the Pen. Perhaps due to physical limitations, I am unable to achieve a smooth arc by hand with my tablet: All my attempts are slightly distorted or wobbly. This leads me...

    Uneven "highlight" line: How to make?

    That's exactly what I did try. I said this in my second message: "I was hoping I could draw a line with my Pen (P), and apply some sort of uneven Brush stroke to it. The problem is that none of the Brush strokes I try will allow me the exact effect I see in the image I posted." If it's...

    writting on a path

    Select the entire text with your "V" tool. Now pick your "A" tool. See the large black dot at the end of the visible text? Place the "A" tool's white arrow to either side of the black dot. The cursor will turn into a text-bar with a black arrow next to it. While the black arrow is showing, you...
