    Out of focus? please help

    Stock agencies have high standards because they receive so many images that they can be highly selective. One of the easiest aspects of image quality on which to make a decision is subject sharpness. Because businesses are a major purchaser of stock images (ie, for presentations, business...

    High Ends Scans of Antique Photos for Digital Restoration

    As I am sure you must know, the usual advice for scanning prints is that 300 ppi is all one needs for ordinary print duplication and restoration tasks. I'm not sure I quite believe that, so I usually go with 600 ppi. However, in my experience, (I have owned a v700M-pro with wet mount adapter...

    Sending Client Emails

    Also, here are three links that address these issues. It's probably more info than you want to know at the present, but might be useful as reference material for you in the future. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPTC_Information_Interchange_Model...

    Sending Client Emails

    Metadata (aka, IPTC metadata) can be added to many different image, and even non-image file types. It can be added in either of two ways - either embedded into the file itself, or as an XMP "sidecar" file that should always be sent along with the main file. IPTC metadata can be embedded into...

    girl on the beach

    Hi Jeffery - I hate to have to disagree with you, but this topic has been beaten to death in photo discussion groups for at least the past 5-10 years. The bottom line of these discussions is that including copyright, contact info, and similar metadata is essentially useless to prevent image...

    Curves To Levels?

    A curves adjustment can contain a huge number of interior control points in addition to the 4 endpoint adjustments. A levels adjustment has exactly one adjustment besides the 4 endpoint adjustments. Therefore, in general, there is no way you can reproduce a complicated curves layer with a...

    portrait of the girl 2 golden ratio

    The subject of this thread and my previous comments were about face reshaping, not skin smoothing. But since you didn't address my questions, and since you brought up skin smoothing instead, you should know that just like with their face reshaping, it has large number of separate adjustments...

    Hi! Wondering if someone can help with a picture of myself.

    No, Pizza, as Jeffery said, you didn't offend anyone at all. The only reason I merged your other thread with this one is that we like to be all neat and tidy around here. It helps when people are searching for a particular thing to have all related material in one place. Conversely, if other...

    portrait of the girl 2 golden ratio

    Sofi Kova - Obviously, the Golden Ratio and Golden Mean rules have been around for hundreds, if not thousands of years, but, do you have a reference / literature citation / URL that explains this particular golden ratio concept as applied to the dozens of different numerical ratios that can be...

    Hi! Wondering if someone can help with a picture of myself.

    Moderator comments: sanjaymj - May I ask, why did you brighten up the face. Now, it's so bright that the OP has started a new thread in which he is asking people to fix this. PizzaRollJoel - There was no need to start a new thread about brightening up what sanjaymj did. You should keep...

    How to create coloring book pages from photos

    FWIW, here's an attempt to simulate (using PS) manual pencil coloring done on top of my light gray guide lines with some of the guide lines still partially visible. Tom M

    How to create coloring book pages from photos

    Thank you, bbq_bob, and sorry, jdennis. To be honest, I completely missed the point in the OP's very first post that he was looking for a method that would put the image it in a state where it consists only of outlines / guidelines and could be manually colored, so I blithely went on my...

    Frozen Photoshop Recreation Help

    I'm not a fantasy composite type of guy, but the answer to your question is one word, "brushes" ... lots of brushes, a good hand, and a tablet + stylus would certainly help. I'll let some of the other guys who are into this sort of thing give you specific suggestions about which brushes...

    How to create coloring book pages from photos

    As you know, there are a huge number of ways to transform a photo into something that some people might say looks like a cartoon. It's all in the eye of the beholder and what they consider to be a cartoon. You didn't say which of the effects in that old thread you were interested in, so I...

    How do I hold glasses in mid air?

    That's funny. I'm so used to calling my eyeglasses, my "glasses", the standard meaning of the word never even dawned on me, LOL! My apologies. WRT the whiskey glasses, could you please post a link to the image you are talking about. I'm doubtful that one could get plastic to adhere...

    How do I hold glasses in mid air?

    1) Monofilament fishing line is overkill for objects as light as eyeglasses. Use sewing thread that is the same color as the background. 2) The usual reason people melt plastic rods is that they are not able to obtain a sufficiently stable mounting with thread (or fishing line) or they can't...
