    How to create a rounded rectangle with two rounded corners?

    Just put the Vector tool in 'Shape' mode. Make a new layer. Create the rectangle with its rounder corners as you like. Then use the Direct Selection tool to select and delete the bottom 2 points of the bottom corners. This will leave you with a flat bottom. Less fuss this way. ;) Take care...

    Retouch

    Permission to speak freely captain? It's an amzing transformation. There's a LOT of small details that you've altered. However... over processing has removed all or most of the depth from the image - rendering it a little unrealistic. The hair is a tad too shiny and there are no shadows at...

    I have a question, need help with a tutorial I'm attempting.

    No you can't double click the group layer you must only click the single 'U' layer. If there are multiple 'U' letter layers, you will have to change each separately. I hope i'm understanding this correctly. Let me know. Mark...

    Using photoshop to repair local consequences of contrast

    "Perhaps I should try and paint a copied layer of the original photo back in just along the edge of the cliff." Yes, you could do that for sure. Just paint back in the very edge of the mountain. You might also try selecting the mountains and copying them to a new layer, than apply the...

    I have a question, need help with a tutorial I'm attempting.

    Hi Tioga... I'm not exactly sure (without going through the tutorial) but it sounds like you're not lining up the type cursor where it needs to be. Try this instead... double click the layer with the letter you want to change. This will make Photoshop highlight the letter. Then just type the...

    Using photoshop to repair local consequences of contrast

    Hi Jacob... I'm not real sure i can help, i don't use those plugins. But initially i'd ask you what resolution the original photo is? Most often when we get the halo affect it's because we apply a filter too strongly for the resolution of our photo. Reducing the photo in size might help a...

    3D Need Help with 3D text

    adding layer mask problem, (CS5 mac)

    There's your answer right there sonia. You can not edit a background layer directly. You must first convert it to a normal layer. Which is what you did when you duplicated it. But you can skip the duplication process by simply double-clicking on the layer and then clicking OK to accept the...

    Creating Roost/Particles

    Greetings Daf57. I would think that using PS for this it would be best to look for and use some specific Grunge Brushes. You'd find brushes with the best looking particle 'sections' in them, apply the brush on a new layer using the desired colour, then erase the areas of the brush you don't...

    Using Inner Glow to Create Highlights

    Greetings Rey. If you're refferring to the white highlight on the figue's hip, you'd be better off to just use a soft tipped brush. Just size a circular brush so it covers the area you want to highlight, then soften the brush 100% and click once or twice using white. Do this on a new layer...

    Making images white

    Greetings ctote. If you add a B&W adjustment layer above the logo layer it will remove the colour (non destructively). If you then add a Levels adjustment layer above that, you can fine tune the level of black, white and gray in the logo. Hope that helps. If not, let me know. Mark (aka theKeeper)

    Product image and bending mirror reflection?

    Just add a Layer Mask Composer, and paint off the jaggies with a black brush. Simple, non-destructive editing -- always the way to go. Although in this case you would then want to "apply layer mask" afterword because you don't actually WANT to keep those jaggies. ;)
