    Even out light & dark colours with Photoshop/Lightroom

    I used two steps: First, a global adjustment using Topaz Adjust. Then, a color adjustment and a levels adjustment masked to the edges of the cookies. The result of each of the two steps can be seen in the following animated GIF: A full rez version of the final result is attached below. In...

    Red lines. Lots of red lines

    If you have it, please post the original file, e.g., most likely a JPG, not the PSD file. However, if that's all you have post the PSD. Tom M

    Light Bulb

    Great. Thank you. I'm sure someone will be around to help you with the grass. With respect to the curved edge of the text box, that's easy. Take a look a this tutorial: http://www.designpanoply.com/blog/how-to-create-a-custom-text-box-shape-in-photoshop Basically, you make a text box with a...

    Light Bulb

    What part of it are you having problems with: 1) the overall shape of the bulb including the texture and other aspects of the screw in base? 2) the split into two halves with a white space between them? 3) the crazy green grass-like texture on the right half? 4) the text on the LHS whose...

    Christmas photo

    Ahh ... ok. I didn't see your latest comments when I was working on it, so here's a version with some placeholder text (that could be easily removed in future iterations). I'll post a cropped, no text version in a few minutes. With respect to the red, I agree that the red of the version you...

    What photoshop technique will get this job done?

    You asked an extremely general question. Tens, if not hundreds of thousands of articles, video tutorials, forum posts, etc. have already been written on the subject of using Photoshop to modify the colors in an image. Most of these are available on the web. Start with one or both of these...

    Christmas photo

    I understand your requests to remove the white writing and the tapes, but I don't understand your complaint about the colors. I do pro color photography, color correction, etc., and, to me, the skin color of the baby looks fine. In fact, it's astonishingly good compared to what we often see...

    New to photoshop, After some guidance and hopefully a solution to a crisis lol.

    Welcome to PSG. To add to what Sam said, you really need to post an example or two of pictures you have taken that you want to re-touch, as well as a couple of "goal" examples, ie, examples of what you would like your pix to look like. Also, you didn't mention either the lens(es) that you...

    Changing the colours of lines

    Hi Marcin - Unfortunately, I have to run out and do some photography for a client and won't be back till late tonight (east coast USA time), so I can't devote any more time to your problem at the present time. However, let me make one quick comment: In my experience, I doubt you will ever be...

    Add a magic carpet!

    Attached is a quick PNG cutout of the baby with a transparent background. Maybe it will be helpful when you are trying various backgrounds. BTW, to make it easier to work with this image on this forum, I down-rez'ed it to 3450 px high. Otherwise, the forum software would reject this and any...

    Add a magic carpet!

    Three thoughts: 1. You realize, don't you, that the "rug" you supplied is not a photo of a rug, but a graphic. So, it has absolutely no texture, no creases or wrinkles, artificially flat, unrealistically uniform illumination compared to the photo, etc. In other words, it's too perfect, and if...

    Changing the colours of lines

    Sorry ... I forgot to answer your question about patterning the yellow (or other changed color). Again, there are several ways I can think about doing this, especially now that one has a mask for the changed areas. Here's a fun approach: 1) Make a pattern that's small enough to be visible...

    Changing the colours of lines

    There are a bunch of ways one could do this. The first that came to mind was to select the whites using the "color range" tool. Set the size of the sampling to 1x1 or 3x3, and the tolerance low, and you should come up with a mask like this: Then use that to mask a color adjustment layer...

    Patch Tool Problem

    Hi Limey - I don't think there is anything at all wrong with your patch tool. It is well known for having difficulties dealing with sharp edges, especially of highly contrasting colors and textures, e.g., http://www.earthboundlight.com/phototips/patch-near-the-edges.html...

    Small correction to Battle Axe picture

    Although you only asked to straighten the handle, I thought you might like to see how the ax might have looked if you had used a less distracting, more uniform background, as well as better lighting (ie, no hot spots). I also enhanced the colors that were present. Hope you like it. Tom M
