    easy selection of colors

    I think Chris hit the nail on the head when he said that lots of patience is required. In addition, there is another problem with semi-automated methods like the magic wand (even with constant adjustment of the tolerance), and that is that if the image is sharp enough, every thread will have a...

    Moving... or clever photoshop

    Actually, the use of large turntables for car photography is common. Obviously, such a turntable is not something most amateurs would invest in, but there are quite a few commercial product photographers who specialize in the photography of large equipment that do have this sort of gear. Also...

    Batch Automation Automate Camara raw

    Yup, that's almost exactly what I would do if I only had PS / ACR available. The only difference between what you are doing and what I described is that (a) to simplify the explanation, I suggested temporarily changing the default preset (for each set of lighting conditions) instead of storing...

    PS - Here's an example of what I was talking about, i.e. blurred background taken with the camera on a turntable / merry-go-round: http://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/photo/merry-go-round-spinning-motion-blur-of-background-royalty-free-image/108150023 Tom M

    Batch Automation Automate Camara raw

    First, I assume you want to use the version of "Camera Raw" that is a pre-processor of raw files for PS, and not the version of it available from within PS as just another filter. If it's the former, my recommendation would be to temporarily make the default preset for ACR be whatever you...

    Moving... or clever photoshop

    My guess is that it was done at a car show or a commercial photographer's studio or other location where the car was put on a turntable. They then set the camera on a tripod that was also sitting on the turntable, and then took a several second long time exposure during which the camera and car...

    Free course in digital photography

    If you are interested in improving your photography skills, take a look at: https://alison.com/courses/Digital-Photography/content This appears to be an on-line Harvard course in digital photograpy. I haven't gone through it, but it appears to be legit. Tom M

    How to make a pattern solid without losing details and texture?

    That's excellent work, Colleague! Just so the OP has some idea of how much time she should allow, roughly how long did it take you to manually paint the part that you did? Again, thank you for the great demo!!! Tom M

    How to make a pattern solid without losing details and texture?

    The only way that I can think of is by manually painting back in the thread texture, as well as larger scale shadows & highlights. T

    conversion from rgb to cmyk black on every channels

    What Lee is addressing is CMYK for medium to large volume offset press operations. Most smaller volume printshop work (...say, up to a couple hundred copies) is now almost always printed on inkjets that are the same as what we might use at home, just larger ink reservoirs and faster. So, for...

    conversion from rgb to cmyk black on every channels

    @Fassara Saco - I'm a bit confused by your question. If the files you are receiving are maximum black in all the CMYK channels, then the people that generated these files are almost certainly violating the maximum ink limit for a normal, full-color CMYK offset run, and if the printer actually...

    Need help with light ereas in sky

    By "the light areas", do you mean the clouds, or the band of lighter tones in the lower part of the sky that is just above the horizon, or both? Tom M

    How to make a pattern solid without losing details and texture?

    In my experience, this is a surprisingly difficult and annoying problem. The best results that I have ever seen from a semi-automated method to do what you asked were obtained by using the frequency separation method, but even these results were disappointing. The frequency separation method...

    photo with text

    The key Photoshop technique is called a "clipping mask". There have been quite a few threads on this subject in this forum. Just Google: {"clipping mask" photoshop text tutorial site:photoshopgurus.com}. Or you can expand your search outside of this forum by removing the "site" part of the...

    Image fuzzy and pixelated when exported

    1. COLOR ISSUE: Your original was in Adobe RGB. This can be seen by looking at the 4th screen shot you posted, ie, the one that shows the "Save As" dialog box. Down near the bottom of that dialog box, you can see that the working color space that you used for that image was Adobe RGB. Within...

    Nik Analog Effects Pro 2

    I have been using NIK plugins since they first came out many years ago. The only times I have ever had a NIK plugin hang on me is if (a) I am forced to use a computer without enough RAM or video memory; or, if I am using a computer that is slower than I am used to using, get impatient and feel...

    Sepia in Photoshop CS6

    If you want to get good at this, you first have to realize that there are many different types of sepia toning. For example, you can first convert an image to B&W and then give the result a sepia tint; you can leave it in color and then add sepia to the shadows but leave the whites as white...

    Lighting effect changing image quality

    Also, please post the original png file. If it is too large for the forum's uploader, either zip it and post the zip file, or if that is too large put it on dropbox or any of the usual file sharing sites and post the link. Thanks, Tom M
