    does the "Quick selection tool" behaves randomly?

    The Quick Select tool seeks edges. When a portion of your images does not have clearly defined edges, the selection tends to be rather haphazard. Two adjacent similar colors don't provide good edges for the tool. The lowest selection on your image is probably the most accurate because there...

    Replace a Wacom Bamboo - What with?

    My Wacom Bamboo CTE 450 seems to have died, so I'm looking for a replacement. Looking at Wacom's site, all the emphasis is to drawing. I don't do that. I use the pen in editing in PS CS 2014, and primarily when I'm editing a Layer Mask. Further, I have no interest in the "touch" functions or...

    Free image editing request

    I tried it again with Content Aware Fill and it worked perfectly. My first attempt was in doing it on just the sand, just the water, and just the sky. I thought that was the right way. I was wrong.

    Free image editing request

    Not that I doubt you, but it always amuses me how Gurus - here, and in other forums - always claim to have worked on an image revision for bare seconds. Sometimes I think that they would claim to be able to replace Charon with Harry Reid or Mitch McConnell (depending on your politics) in...

    No responses up when I downloaded the image, two (better ones)_ up by the time I finished mine. Anyway....

    Help with Masks

    I had already done one using the word FAIR with a white background, so I just went in and added a layer behind the final layer, reduced the opacity, and went back to the top layer and used the Magic Wand to select the white. Then deleted the white.

    Jeremy Clarkson

    I see Clarkson as an inflated fathead.

    Jeremy Clarkson

    You went the wrong way. To accurately portray Mr Clarkson you need to inflate, not narrow, the head.

    Refine Edge Problem

    I posted this question in the Adobe Forums and received a reply that corrected the problem. The brushes will not work when "Show Original" is checked and when the Marching Ants view is used. I unchecked "Show Original" and used a different view, and all is well. I had watched several...

    Refine Edge Problem

    I thought of a screen shot, but the problem is that the brush as a circle with a slash goes away when the screen shot is made. I did a quick and dirty here with no slider adjustments and tried clicking on the brush icon. I didn't use the minus setting to reduce the selected area to the left of...

    Refine Edge Problem

    Using CC2014, when I use the Quick Selection tool, and then try to us Refine Edge and the Refine Radius brush, the brush will not open. Instead, I get that circle with a slash where the brush should be. In the tutorials, the brush works. Not for me. Simple setting error?

    Kelby One Videos vs free Youtube Videos?

    I don't have a strong opinion either way about your question, but I will offer a suggestion that will make following any video tutorial much easier: add a second monitor. A second monitor doesn't have to be either large or expensive. I bought a used one from a computer store for $45/ Put...

    Tutorial on distorted text?

    My skills as an artist and hand-drawing are extremely limited. I'm fairly proficient in PS, but mostly in the processing of images. Changing heads, taking people or things out of images, putting people or things in images...the usual layer mask tricks...are easy enough for me. Working with...

    Tutorial on distorted text?

    I don't know which is more difficult: distorting the letters or explaining what I want to do. I did this very quick and dirty just to show that I know how to put an image behind an open text letter. The stoke's too wide and rasterizing made it jagged, but this is for example purpose...

    Tutorial on distorted text?

    Not having uploaded an image here before, I'm not sure I've done this right. Use the link if this is not sufficient.

    Tutorial on distorted text?

    Can you point me to a tutorial on distorting text in PS CC 2014? I've been asked, by a friend, to do a postcard like project that uses photos behind text as done in the image attached of a billboard here in town. The word is "FAIR", not "Orlando" as in the sign. I know how to create the open...

    Trying to make photo borders that look like the cut ones used years agao

    I do this the easy way. This photograph of my father, my younger brother, and me was taken in the early 1940s. The print I have has smooth edges, but I wanted the deckled edges that was used for early prints. I found another photograph with deckled edges, scanned it on a black background, and...

    cant open a .psd file in PS CS5

    Being a Windows user, I'm not sure I can make a useful suggestion to a Mac user, but if I had the problem described I'd use the Windows search option to locate the file. This might show the location that is "open".

    Watermarking a Black & White Image.

    I understand the reason to watermark, but I don't understand why people watermark some images. In some of the photography forums that I read people upload images and ask for critiques. When these images are watermarked, it's often difficult to evaluate the image. I don't do any type of...

    Deckled edge

    The reason I want this effect is that I have a number of old family black and white photos that I've scanned in. Some of the prints have deckled edges the way prints used to come, and some don't. I like the deckled edge for these. What I ended up doing was scanning one with a deckled edge and...
