    Facebook Images.

    Hi Scoot - First, just to double-check, you are trying to place the image in a post on your timeline, right? Don't forget that the 476x714px (note: not 716) dimensions are the dimensions that most viewers will see such images as they are scrolling through their feed. This small sized image...

    What are the new pixel dimensions (ie, after export)? Tom M

    Weird post at beginning of every thread

    FWIW, the link works perfectly on two desktop machines, my iPad and my old iPhone 5s (running iOS 10). The entire thread is there. Try all the usual things like: 1) Viewing the forum without Tapatalk - ie, directly in a browser. 2) Closing all your other open apps, powering down the phone...

    Photoshop Export Issue

    The magnification factor (ie, the "viewing percentage") that it happens to open at makes absolute ZERO difference. If you don't like it, change it to whatever screen size you like or feel that you need. For display on the web, display on a computer screen, etc, the ONLY thing that matters are...

    How do you send images to people?

    Actually, it's my favorite, as well. :-) T

    Facebook Images.

    My name is Tom, and I hate Facebook, too. LOL. Leaving aside my gripes about issues such as social manipulation, curating what is presented in your feed, completely re-defining words like "friend" which have a long established meaning, etc., for the purposes of this forum, my main gripe with...

    How do you send images to people?

    My favorites are: Dropbox and https://wetransfer.com/ ... Or most of the large file transfer services listed in: http://www.techradar.com/news/10-best-ways-to-share-big-files https://techreviewpro.com/free-large-file-sharing-tools-send-large-files-online-4575/...

    lighting effects 'blur' image

    Also: What are the dimensions in pixels of the full sized version that exhibits the blurring? How much memory do you have in your computer? How much memory do you have on your graphic card? Thanks, Tom M

    lighting effects 'blur' image

    Hi Cees - Thanks for the info. Please take your final PSB file (ie, one that illustrates the blurring) and: 1) Crop it down to something in the range of 1000 to 2000 pixels on the long side. Retain an area that illustrates the blurring. Do NOT use the "Image Size" tool - only use the crop...

    Help with his Instagram look for photos

    FWIW, if I'm not mistaken, I have seen a discussion of this exact photo, and in the comments, the photographer / photoshopper replied to a question about technique by saying that he didn't actually use any Instagram effects to achieve this look, but rather, he used conventional Photoshop...

    On Commercial Shoots, How Do I Mount Products?

    Also, don't forget that these days, there are tutorials on almost everything, so if you Google {jewelry photography tutorial} you will find lots to learn and think about, e.g., https://www.lynda.com/Photoshop-tutorials/Photographing-Jewelry/135422-2.html Another worthwhile search is {jewelry...

    On Commercial Shoots, How Do I Mount Products?

    Your question illustrates exactly why the person filling the key grip position is always listed prominently in the credits for all movies. It takes a lifetime of practical, hands-on experience to become really proficient in knowing how to mount "things" whether they be heavy lights, cameras...

    Need help fixing this drawing of a Pyramid

    Great explanation, Sam! Many decades ago, I first encountered perspective as a sophomore in high school taking a mechanical / technical drawing class. I was absolutely blown away by the power of construction and analysis techniques such as you used. You would have made my very precise, very...

    Red lines. Lots of red lines

    Old "Eagle Eyes" is back and on the job! Thank you, MrToM! I wonder why he was using a mask that looked like that. It almost looks like one is looking through very thin gauze-like curtains. But as Chris said, unless the OP returns, we'll never know, so please come back and tell us, TJ...

    lighting effects 'blur' image

    - You'll need to be a lot more specific, e.g., exactly what/which lighting effects? - How much is the blur? A couple of pixels, or really profound? - Can you post a couple of JPGs cropped from an example image, one before, one after the lighting effect was applied. - What version of...

    Red lines. Lots of red lines

    I'm impressed, Chris! I'm worried, however, that the OP may not return because he never answered my request for him to post the file. On a technical note, have you ever seen any corruption or other type of problem that could have caused this? For example, the red lines don't look at all...

    Christmas photo

    None taken, whatsoever! I start from other folks work all the time, especially when doing tutorials or free work, and especially if I'm pretty sure the other person will be OK with doing so. Even so, I always mention my source to promote even more collegiality, to give the other guy a pat on...

    Christmas photo

    For comparison, this is what one gets if you compare my tweaked version to the original - the changes are obvious (ie, very few nearly black areas). T

    Christmas photo

    Jerry D - Hi Jerry ... I'm curious, did you use my version for everything except the wall, and just changed the wall? Here is what I get if I subtract your version from mine, and then use a levels adjustment layer to amplify any differences. The amplified difference is essentially zero...

    Even out light & dark colours with Photoshop/Lightroom

    Here is the procedure I used to even out the lighting on the cookies as well as their actual darker edges: 1) I made a rough selection of just the cookies and saved it for future use. This can be seen as the mask in my layer #01. Here is my layer stack. --------------- 2) In my experience...
